    @nta LOL. Like the girls in the 70’s, showing my age, with their sprayed on jeans. The stories that were told of their friend holding the jeans for them while they jumped into them. Heck, 34. I just fitting into a 36 so I got some catch up.

    Fark. Found this picture from 6 years ago (~100kg) and I don't think I have these jeans any more because they got too big!

      Walk this morning. Would have been more of a run but The Boy (14, nearly my height) insisted on tagging along.

      He slow as fuck. And not just the walking.

      I was up just after 6 and it took the little bastard nearly 15 minutes to get ready πŸ™„ then once we're on the road I had to remind him how to power walk and then, when I wanted to do a 1km jog he conked out after about 700 metres. Soft.

      3km in 29 minutes. Fuck that.

                        Went for a walk at lunch today - wanted to test my HR and so first km was fast walking pace: 125 BPM.
                        Second km slightly more relaxed: 120 BPM.
                        Did about 2.3km all up in around 26 minutes.

                        Some bodyweight when I got home tonight:
                        30s plank
                        4 chinups
                        20 squats
                        10 pushups
                        10 lunges each side
                        1 minute rest

                        Set myself up for 10 minutes as a starter.
                        Got 2 sets out + 30s plank + 2 chinups when the timer hit.

                        Heart rate shortly after conclusion: 132 BPM
                        Ten minute rest and hydration: 100 BPM

                          Couldn't sleep. It was almost 6am so I decided to get up and go.

                          4.2km in 41 minutes. Hammies and glutes feeling the effort of last night's body weight sets so I didn't go out especially hard.

                          Fucking magic time of day tho.

                                      Back from the specialist and it's a mixed bag. The primary problem is this:

                                      ... at the junction of the proximal and middle thirds of the left anterior descending artery, there is a mixed calcified and soft plaque, which is causing am approximately 40-50% stenosis of the arterial lumen. There is possible ulceration in this plaque.

                                      The upshot of that is a small pile of medication and a follow up in 6 months.

                                      Kind of glad overall; he said that everything else looks fine, so that's a plus. No major issues with the important arteries.

                                      The minus is that these type of mixed hard/soft plaques are apparently abnormal in someone of my age and relative fitness.

                                      He even said that they sometimes see this on patients who have experienced rapid weight loss, so maybe it even goes back to my 2011-13 efforts and a bit if genetics thrown in.

                                      Medical science eh? Doesn't know what it doesn't know, and isn't certain about much πŸ˜‰

                                        I hear ya! After my misdiagnosis I've a better appreciation for why they say you practice medicine!! Almost as much an art as a science.

                                          Doing some reading on these medications and it'll be interesting to see if they have any effect on the exercise side of things.

                                          One of them is a beta blocker so the heart rate in particular will require close monitoring.
