Went back to the GP tonight to get the blood test results from last week.
My "bad" cholesterol (LDL) is reading 5.0 when it should be under 2.5 so that's not great for circulation or potential artery clogging.
HDL ("good" cholesterol) is just on the good side of the preferred marker.
Other than that, no indicators of further disease in any organs, diabetes, or signs of immediate heart issues based on the tests conducted.
Eating will definitely need to improve, but I reckon by Winter's end I can get back under 100kg fairly easily with diet and moderate exercise.
Did my ab exercises tonight - 10 cat vomits. It fucking hurts just lying down typing this now.
Hey sorry got sick of scrolling up because im lazy. If you have a look into it there are actually 2 sub types of LDL one is good one is bad. Most Gp's have no idea about this. You have to request special testing. My GF and I went Keto a few years ago and got blood work done. Her HDL stayed the same LDL went up doctor said ' cut out fats' she said 'get fucked and give me a test to break down my LDL' .
Test showed good LDL had gone up bad LDL was really low. Doctor then said ' decrease your fats because ummmm....'
What are you on the beta blockers and cholestorol meds for?
This is somewhat interesting depending on your background knowledge https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/program/insight the two episodes on exercise.
Exercise (weights or cardio) vs diet vs meds for diabetes not much difference apart from diet +exercise can reverse it (judging by the beta blockers its probably not diabetes).

@magpie_in_aus so something like 400m at top pace with a one minute break?

For the arterial blockage. Yes it's aggressive but I'm sticking with it until September when I plan to do another round of blood tests and prove I don't need either.

yeah 400m at a strong run > sprint then I like to have same time off for rest as it took me to sprint it. That way you can keep a more consistent 400m rather than it turning to a jog after your second one.

*use the modified borg scale
Because you are on BBlockers heart rate doesn't change so have a look at that ad
Keep it somewhere in the green.

Antipodean's patented five step scale:
- Can I engage in conversation?
- Can I utter sentences?
- Can I utter words?
- Can I motion for an ambulance?
- Dead.

The side effects of the drugs have hit me, with the insomnia and some mild (probably related) paranoia/depression popping up. Makes work and family life a bit shitty when I'm slightly manic all the time.
I'm going back to the doc today to tell him this stuff really isn't necessary as, thanks to my reformed eating and exercise, I'm going to be awesome.

Took the day off work to deal with this shit, and decided to go for a run - being conscious that I'm not putting a lot of recovery days in here, but stiff shit.
3km in 17:45 which reaches my first goal of 6 minute km or better. Booyah.
Also had a sneaky jump on the scales and the result is good. More when I officially weigh in on Saturday!

Dont stress about recovery days. You're not training for a tilt at the next olympics. You can safely run 5 - 10 K every day at a comfortable pace and your body will adapt fine.
Keep it up!

Good video. Applicable for a number of disciplines.
I think it was Bruce Lee who said "I'd rather face a man who practised 10,000 punches 1 time, than a man who practiced 1 punch 10,000 times"

Today: 100.2kg - Chest 117 - Waist 110 - Hips 112.
Today: 99.4kg - Chest 116 - Waist 109 - Hips 111.
Well I'm happy with that. Under the ton for a first time in... well a long fucking time.
Losing another 800g over a week is still pushing hard. 4kg over 3 weeks probably isn't anywhere near what you'd call drastic, I suppose, and nearly half that happened during Week 1 where you lose the "water weight".
If I could keep up with half a kilo a week from here, I'll be just over 95 by 1st September. And probably telling the doctor to shove his meds.
