JUST KEEP GOING.
I'm still on free myfitnesspal, I'm slowly incorporating food tracking properly into my
UNIFIEDHEALTHPLATFORM
lol.
I still add data to my lowtech (google sheet) version. I've been slacking on working on my platform because I've been a tad overloaded
This has been an astronomically good year for me and my health. My lipids/cholesterol/liver/uric acid has all been brought into the green range.
My blood pressure was 140 odd over 80 odd. It now comes in at 120 over 70.
I also feel a lot better.
I am still on reta for now - started in middle of May, will chat to the doc about when to look at tapering off. The dose is at the bottom of the trials (4.5mg weekly), and I don't suffer any side effects from it. I have been getting regular bloodwork and inbody scans to check my muscle mass and I've been maintaining/increasing that. It helps that I'm hitting the gym at least twice a week and doing between 15 and 18 tons of volume.
I was already disciplined by that time having logged over 100 days of consistently hitting 1500kcal in eating and hitting the gym since March. So sure, some people will call it a "shortcut"... but hey, I'm the one doing the work and seeing the benefit... so whatevs.
**** is accelerating now and I've actually had to start eating a little more as my weight has started dropping a tad fast (sounds funny to say) when NORMALLY you need to LOWER your calories when your weight starts dropping... but my fatty liver is clearing up which means my liver actually is starting to do its job better.
I've also started training for the midmar mile for next Feb.
Looking forward to moving from obese to "overweight" lol.
