My HBAIc tests came back around the same as they were three months ago. Once again cholesterol has dropped with the good chl going up and the other going down.
Doc commented on how she is using my results to try to motivate some of her diabetic patients. Her frustration with their excuses is evident. They throw their hands up in the air and proclaim that they are a special case and what I’m doing wouldn’t apply to them.
She tried the keto mousakka recipe, claimed it was absolutely delicious, and said she was freaking out about the amount of cream etc in it. Her comment was it did her head in with the amount of fat in the diet and then the results come in that can’t be disputed.
Whilst I was extremely happy with the result I couldn’t help being a tad disappointed that I hadn’t gone beyond what the reading was before. 6.2
When we dissected what I had been doing different it came down to the type of exercise. Previously, it had been a lot of cardio/aerobic either swimming /walking or using mini trampoline. Now that it’s too cold to swim, I had traded it for gym work. She feels that I need to keep doing the cardio and drop my strength work at the gym back to only two days a week. I am inclined to agree with her. Don’t particularly like gym work and have to motivate myself to turn up. I work with a PT.
I am an all or nothing kind of a person and hope that I don’t have unrealistic expectations of what I could achieve.
As always, your comments are appreciated.
