Health Challenges

I went for a regularly scheduled medical appointment this morning. Appointment was at 0815. I signed in at 0809. At 0840 I went up to the receptionist and notified that I had been waiting for over 30 minutes and needed to get to work, thus the 0815 appointment. They finally had a nurse take me back.


Challenges

1. Weight had increased to 259.4 (clothed) up from 257.6. I believe this was largely due to me regularly eating ice cream, almost daily in fact.
2. Blood pressure was 140/90 which was up from 110/70 last time I was at the doctor's office, approximately 3 months ago.
3. Blood sugar was 110. This was despite having a meal of steak and asparagus on Sunday evening and then fasting until Monday evening. I broke my fast after doing an intense workout of Intu-Flow, Kettlebell Swings and Prasara Yoga. All I ate was grilled salmon, salad and a "paleo" brownie which I think was made with almond or some other nut flour. This morning I only had black coffee and water before going to the doctor.

So, I will continue with my exercise regimen. I will be strict with my paleo eating. My goal is 240 by 15 October 2011!
