Nice to be back in the 160's - it's been a while! And exciting. What is working? Mostly the whole food, plant based diet, for sure. Also limiting calories to around 1600 to 1800 per day - and no night snacking after meals! I finally found a way to control that: brush your teeth after dinner, floss and rinse with a mouthwash. That all indicates that your mouth is 'closed for business' for the remainder of the evening. I might have a cup of chamomile tea after that, but nothing solid. Also working? Regular exercise which currently consists of 1 hour mountain biking at average speed of 5 minutes per mile, 5,000 meters on the rowing machine (about 24 minutes), 15 minutes or so of boxing (heavy bag) and a late afternoon workout routine of about 40 minutes with weights, slam ball, squats, lunges and a couple of other exercises. Nothing on Fridays = rest day. Not running now due to plantar fasciitis but it is responding well to rest so I will be back running by next weekend.
My Monday morning health check produced a BP reading of 110/72, fasting glucose 108, heart rate 59, weight 168, Bodyfat percentage 22.8. I need to get better with using calipers to measure bodyfat percentage.
