I've got my a #weightloss mountain to climb this year. I'm currently at 280 pounds, the heaviest in my life. If you follow BMI, I'm supposed to be at 175. I would like to be at 200.
I feel vaguely out of breath during any movement beyond leaving the couch and my snoring is out of control. My clothes don't fit well, and I just generally feel weaker than I have at any other time in my life.
Between the regular challenges of life, I've got a six year old and an 84 year old I'm taking care of, so I'll be looking for other ways to exercise, primarily biking to work. Also tracking diet more closely.
I know it's lame to only focus on this stuff at the New Year, but you have to start sometime, right?
I'm enrolled in the VA's Move program starting next week, which is supposed to be pretty good. And I'm looking into GLP1 options. I was skeptical about the drug route, but all signs seem to be pointing toward positive results for people in my situation.
I'm fortunate that my blood pressure and lab work are consistently good. Type 2 Diabetes runs in my family, and I've reached the point where I can't ignore it anymore.
So here come the weigh ins. As they liked to say at my soul sucking Target job, what isn't tracked can't be improved…
