Had a checkup a couple of days ago. Weight is 203 so about 10 pounds over what I'd like. BP was 104/62 so am very pleased with that!

BP today is 100 / 64.
Got my numbers in the mail a couple of weeks ago. Cholesterol < 200, triglycerides < 100 (docs want 150 or lower), blood sugar 88 (docs want 100 or lower), everything else in the normal range. Playing softball and hydrating afterwards with brewskis is healthy!!

We had a great weather day on Monday, about 75 degrees and partly cloudy with light wind. Me and a softball teammate hit the field to throw a bit and take some infield practice. I've been stiff and a little sore since then but in a good way... like the body saying "You've been a couch potato for 4+ months so take THAT!"
I have a league starting up on 15-Apr so I'm looking for at least 3 good practices before then to shake off rust and get a little loose for the games.

First softball league started up today! We WON by the score of 8-3 in 7 innings. Holding a team to 3 runs in beer league softball is a pretty good defensive accomplishment.
I went 3 for 4, had 2 RBI and scored 2 runs so was pretty much in the thick of things for the team offense,
The legs felt good running... just need to work on the cardio conditioning. If history is any indicator, I should be able to go full speed and not be totally gassed (i.e. sucking wind) by week three. As I run more, I should be able to drop a few more pounds. I DO NOT run unless I'm on a softball field or a tennis court due to the knees and heels not taking kindly to it.
More to come...

A really good discussion on the causes of cancer and diabetes and methods to prevent and eliminate it.

Another really long, but really knowledgeable video discussing glucose/sugar, the good and the really bad, related to human health.
