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.

Sounds like the perfect excuse to pick up one of these bad boys:







Or even more badass (but maybe less ergonomic):

track pad? why not use a mouse? i always found that trackpads hurt my hands with extended use.

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.

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

Spoiler!

For those who know vaping, I went from 20mg salt nic for the past 5 years (if not more) down to 10mg salt nic a few months ago. Now I'm switching to free base which should help the nicotine strength.

I purchased
1 flavored 30ml x 6mg/ml
1 non-flavored 30ml x 6mg/ml
2 flavored 30ml x 3mg/ml

My plan was to use 6 nic, then mix the equiv to 4.5 nic, then go down to 3 nic. They unforutnately don't make nicotine free juice anymore, so I'll have to go cold turkey following 3 nic, but it'll be much more achievable than from 20 salt nic.

However, at home, I've been hitting 3 nic and I feel ok. A bit harder to wake up in the morn.. def very groggy unlike the instant wake up I usually get.

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'm ahead of schedule. I've officially been off nicotine for almost a week now. 0 nic was interesting, so I woke up every morning hitting the flavored air pen anyway, and even tho it's 0 nic, it still provides a sense of relief.

I haven't smoked anything in about two days tho and it sucks big time lmao. You bet I still crave it. Gum helps. But damn I wonder if I'm gonna feel the cravings forever. Good thing it's more annoying to unplug my car and whatnot, so I'll be too lazy to drive to the vape store.

I'm starting to wonder if we're all just pre-diabetic with cholesterol issues.

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.

[westopher]

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.

Diabetes Canada says that about 30% of Canadians are pre-diabetic with another 15% being diabetic so almost half the population. Not sure how they count kids but it could mean that more than half the adult population has high blood sugar. These numbers are higher than what I've seen with Stats Can so take it with a grain of sugar but either ways there's a lot of folks

I was hoping my A1C would have come down more - I didn't go chicken/broccoli in the last 7 months but I did become a lot more conscious about my food choices but there's sugar (hidden) everywhere.

Type 2 diabetes runs in my family - my brother is about 15lbs more than me and he has to take meds for his A1C just to keep it below 7. Even when he was on a health kick and lost 20lbs he couldn't get below 6. He's resigned to the fact that he'll probably die early. Genetics sometimes sucks.

By age 45 the rec is that you get an annual blood test and some patients (like my brother) have a standing req as he goes every 3 months due to his high A1C. My doc offered to make my a standing one too as he knows I'm trying to get healthy so your doc won't have any concerns about you wanting one - a Telehealth call can get you a req no questions asked.

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'll show you mine if you show me yours"

When I dropped mine off there was an elderly couple holding me up on the stairs (Hot jizz coming through!) but when we got in the old guy also had a time sensitive paper bag that he was dropping off. Not sure if I should have congratulated him or not.

[Badhobz]

all this work when you weirdos could have just done anal or worn a condom.

[mikemhg]

Might be easier to just jerk off in the Kensington Lifelabs bathroom if you're able to see that old asian hotty beforehand

[supafamous]

It's okay to rub one out in the parking lot if my windows are tinted right?

lol a condom? I’d rather just jerk off at that point.

[mikemhg]

^That's why fucking hoes is so shitty. Fucking with a condom sucks.

There are some savages that go raw with a hoe, that's insane.

Badhobz - Since you like prostitutes, which would be your choice?

[Badhobz]

I’d anal the prostitute with no protection and then hope my dick doesn’t fall off a couple of days afterwards.

If it does ….. then it’s worth it.

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

Wanted to provide an update, I have been at 70kg/154pounds for over a week now, still dropping 300-500g of weight each week, have been eating 1500 calories per day since my last update. One thing I'm frustrated with, not sure if you guys in 30s/40s can relate, I can see my upper abs, but my lower belly fat is still pretty prominent even though the previous beer belly is mostly gone. I guess I have to drop another 10 pounds or more? I don't recall myself having this lower belly fat when I was in shape at 150 pounds when I was in my 20s...
