The annual health screening and exercise comeback

The results came in and they were ugly. I think I also forgot to do a screening in 2014. Either way, I fell off the wagon. My weight is back up alongside my cholesterol. On the upside, my glucose (aka, the diabetes II bullet) was 90! Thank you Plant Nanny and Texas tradition of always having unsweet tea on hand.

I’m not super worried. The nurse said I knew what to do based upon my past scores. Me? I was waiting for the weather to finally improve while stabilizing. I definitely would have a harder time keeping it up in a colder climate. I think after the ice storm bust of last week, I will be back on track. I’m swapping out the rowing progression bar for the stair climbing. Oh I plan to row once in a while but I’m setting a new crazy goal because I’m tired of being winded when I take just a flight of stairs. Seriously, I struggled even during the days I could pull off three miles/day.

Now I just need to rein in my eating. I think the right (repaired) foundation is in place as I avoid diet/regular/cane-sugar sodas big time. I had my first Mexican Coke in weeks during the last D&D session, a reward for getting all my “homework” to run the game completed!

Keep watching the progression meters and place your bets. Seattle by April? 230 by May?   Triple the height of Burj Khalifa by April?
