Well, I completely forgot that I started this blog in whatever year to track my running and that I eventually was tracking other health events, too.
Today, I got the urge to write about my current situation, considered starting a blog to track myself, and then here we are--it already exists, I just need to get it going again.
So...I guess I started this thing in 2007. I was twenty-eight or something.
It is now 2024. I am 45 years and 5 days old.
When I was 44 years and 363 days old, a week ago, I went for an annual health physical with a new provider in this new place where we live. As a part of that checkup, we went ahead and did blood work to get a baseline at this new provider.
Today I was called with the results of the bloodwork, and basically I feel like my not taking care of myself for the last couple of stressful years has finally caught up with me and run me over.
I have not been eating well, sleeping well, or moving much, and my bloodwork reflected that.
Ironically, I had great plans to start this summer strong by waking up with the sun and going for a walk to get this ball rolling, but I have not done that yet (day 7 of summer vacation currently) and yesterday, I was lamenting how I'm not so great at self-discipline if I do not have intentional support or what one might call "a kick in the pants" to do the thing.
Welp. Today was my kick in the pants.
So, I need accountability to..
- Get moving more.
- Make better dietary choices.
- Lose some excess weight/belly fat.
- Take my medication as directed.
Sounds like it should be easy...but, blah.
Stats for today for posterity and comparison:
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 179
TSH: 10.0
A1C: 10.5
