A bit off topic but I went to see my doctor yesterday and he tells me I'm showing signs of early arthritis in my middle finger (ha) caused by my usage of a computer. My middle finger is what I use the most on my trackpad and he says the pain I'm experiencing (bone pain and having trouble extending my finger) is early arthritis. I can work to strengthen my tendons and muscles around it but the bone won't actually get better.

Arthritis! From using a COMPUTER!

Christ, I'm getting old.

Alright, I've mixed down to 1-2mg/ml now but it's getting quite difficult LOL. I'm a lot more groggy and cranky throughout the day. I purchased 0.1mg/ml juice, which is pretty much flavored air and it's making me angry.

Less than two months left to go but I think I can do it.

Not fitness related, but health related. On Saturday, I woke up and made the conscious decision to quit nicotine with a deadline of end of August. This time around I'm not gonna do it cold turkey and instead, ween myself off by decreasing the nicotine content progressively.



It'll also be cool to lose some weight by September, but I think I gotta focus on this first before trying to do too much at once.

I had a blood test today to see how I'm doing in getting my blood sugar (A1C) and cholesterol levels down since I started working out and losing weight in Jan and it's working!

A1C is down from 5.8 to 5.6 so no longer pre-diabetic under any measurement.
LDL Cholesterol is down from 4.34 (high) to 3.69 (borderline, less than 3.4 is good).

My weight hasn't changed (173lb) but I'm hitting the weights 3-4 times a week now and working with a trainer so I'm making a lot more progress in the gym - I'm showing signs of actual shoulders and traps.

I'd really like to get down to 160lb by end of year but I'm making strength a higher priority for now. I figure if I maintain my diet and training that this will push my LDL and A1C well into the green by end of year.

Edit: I didn't get my test at Kensington as it was too hard to get an early appointment so I didn't get to meet Lifelabs Hottie. Maybe in 6 months.
Edit: Testosterone levels checked out good too.

All my friends who workout regularly, aren't overweight, all have their A1C in the 5.8 - 6.2 range, and elevated (on the cusp) LDL levels.

I swear we're all eating poison on the daily.

I’d like to get all that checked. I was a bit worried about it when I was drinking lots of beer but less concerned now. I do love deep fried shit but don’t eat it often. I’m pretty high on the carbs because I fucking love bread and it’s worth dying for if that’s what it takes, but most meals for me are meat and vegetables. Salt intake is relatively high probably.

If you find you really enjoy getting blood tests you can other tests too like you can go jerk off into a cup and find out if your swimmers are healthy. Hard to beat jerking off into a cup between work calls and then rushing over to Lifelabs to get your sample in - this kind of stuff should be a mission in GTA or something.

Lol I did this after my vasectomy. Funny thing is you are supposed to show up at the clinic and say you have a time sensitive sample so they know to process it right away.

So I wait in line with my cup tucked beneath my shirt to keep my cum warm like they tell you to. A guy comes up to me and is like "excuse me but I have a time sensitive sample" like he wants to cut in line.

I tell him that I, too, also have a time sensitive sample.

And look at him, knowing that both of us jerked off less than 20 mins earlier and are holding cups of our own jizz next to our bodies in public at that moment.

I have been on a diet for more than 2 months, went from 190 to 169 pounds (weighed today) at 5 feet 6 inches tall, in my 30s. No longer have a big belly wearing loose fitting shirts compared to before, still noticeable amount of belly fat when taking off shirts. Still motivated to keep going, hopefully under 160 or even 150-155s..... Been losing 1-2 pounds per week

For me what worked and may work you guys is cutting out most of the carbs, white rice, bread etc... my wife only packs me meat and lots of veggies like carrot, cauliflower for lunch, I don't weigh everything but I do an estimate of the calories of each meal. I love ice cream, it's my guilty pleasure and I eat it almost everyday, you can eat your treats too, it's just about portion control and how much calories in and out. Dinner, some sort of protein, lots of veggies again, no white rice. If you like cheetos or any kind of chips go for it, just don't eat white rice and chips together, that was the main problem for me, just eating too much. The kicker is, I don't even feel like I'm on a diet still, and I don't feel hungry most of the time. you can still eat the food you like on a diet, it's about portion control and don't eat them all at the same time. Also try to minimize eating fatty meats like pork ribs or anything fried, you can still flavourful food using chicken breast/thighs, pork tenderloins but you have to have a good cook like my wife

And for the ice cream lovers, I used to eat lots of haagen daaz, they taste great but calorie dense, I have switched to chapman frozen yogurt, dutch chocolate/cappuccino flavour, they are literally half the calories of the haagen daaz, tastes pretty good too

I don't weight train, I walk in my basement for 30-45mins a day 3 to 5 times a week. Diet really matters a lot when you want to lose weight
