Day after returning - Weight: 166. I gained maybe a pound or two. J I got my blood test results from my pre-cruise insurance physical just a few days ago. My cholesterol dropped from 228 to 185: 43 points. I haven’t been on my diet since I left for the trip. I’m still trying to decide what to do now that I’m back. I still try to eat better, but I don’t track things. Based on that cholesterol result, I think I may have to adopt at least a modified version of my original rules.
Last ditch effort before I had my life insurance underwriting health exam. I should have walked more, but I did very good on my food…
Weight today: 162 lbs. (although the life insurance scale had me at 168 with clothes on)
BP: 120/80 (hurray!)
M: 1
P: 0
W: 3.4 + 1.7PB
I’m getting pretty tired of keeping track of this stuff. Plus, I’m going on a cruise on Tuesday, so all bets are off then – no rules. So, I think I’m going to call it quits for now. I will revisit when I return. Hopefully I’ll get my test results from the life insurance exam soon, so I can see what the effect has been. I tried to have a physical today at work so I have a “second opinion”, but they are all booked up. I will probably have one when I get back, which will tell me how far I slid while on the cruise; hopefully not too bad. I have this optimistic part of me that thinks I’ll work out on the ship. Yeah, right! J
