BP was up to 160/109 in December. Weight had increased to 260ish over a 2 year span. Worked a few needlessly stressful contracts in November and December. Shortness of breath and pinching around the heart were becoming more common. Also, vodka and bad food consumption were at an all time high.

Went to local heart doc at the hospital up here in January. He wanted to put me on BP meds right away, but I still haven't taken them. I just think 35 is too young to be on that scrip, and I don't want my next employer to red flag me at the physical for it. Blood labs came back and everything was good except my triglycerides were like 480. He gave me a statin scrip, but I'm extra cautious of those drugs because I've seen people I know deal with the side effects. Need to set up appt with cardiologist in Bismarck which is 3 and half hours away.

I've made some serious lifestyle adjustments since January. Low sodium consumption. No more espresso/coffee. More greens/fruit smoothies. Limited sugar. No more hard alcohol. Only red wine. Been going to the gym 6 days a week. Have my mile time down to 7min, and try to finish cardio with 35min elliptical sessions.

I'm down to 228lbs. Feel much better. BP when I get home from work is down to 135/95ish, and when I wake up 130/85-90ish. Breathing is much better, and pinching is gone. A few chest pains here and there.

Still not out of the danger zone. Have my first child due in a few weeks, and this is all for her.

Gaining excess weight is such a dangerous problem.

Weird, I see Dolphin looking in my asshole

Oh yeah. Soda is SOOOO good, but it is terrible for your health. I don't drink it anymore either.

Limit your red meat consumption if you haven't done it already. Turkey burgers and sausage are better for you health-wise and taste good. Increase your seafood consumption as well.

Any advice is appreciated since there seems to be others with heart issues here.

Our hotel smelled like dead hooker vagina (before you ask I had gotten a detailed description from beardown)

I'm on my 5th cup of coffee and I had 2 donuts for breakfast.

I think I'm doing it wrong....

Under the deuce! Finally checked in under 200lbs, at 198, probably first time since in my early 20s. Just maybe about 8 more pounds...and then I can stay at 190...doing crossfit, it really sucks when you have to be on a such a low calorie diet, all my lifts suck, I'm ready to eat more at maintenance level and hopefully start pushing some actual weight.

As long as you are telling everyone you are doing Crossfit then all the other stuff doesn't matter. Seriously though, good work!

Morning is fine, you will burn it off by noon. It's the late night snacks that kill you.

The menstrual cycle changes among Hassidic Jewish women was something as well.

Trae Young will be a bust. Book It!

just passed the 3 month post op mark which means I can stop taking the blood thinners.

Started cardiac rehab last week, basically just walking on a treadmill for 30 minutes and then some really light dumbbell exercises.

Nice! Any ideas about swinging a golf club? I think my golf trip this summer/fall is going to be to Lawsonia. Never been but I would like to
play at least once if not twice up there.

I just started doing light arm stuff in rehab so hopefully start with some around the green chipping and putting in the next couple weeks and then I'm hoping full swings start of June.

Let me know when your trip to Lawsonia is gonna be, hopefully I'll be there and able to play and we can hook up for a round if you have room in your group.

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

I am in the market for a treadmill. Anyone have recommendations for a good one?
