I have spent 45 workout days training my body and getting myself in a position to be in better health. In some capacity, I have used all of the following "Tools" to do so:
(Well Geoff's not a tool, but given the context...)
Today was essentially validation day for me. When I began my campaign here at the playground, I set a few secondary goals, like lowering my cholesterol and my BMI, as prescribed by my doctor. Going into this, I had a cholesterol level of 210 and a BMI of over 33%. My doctor told me he wanted me to go on meds. Yeah, that's not what this kid does. I assured him it was simply me not wanting to be in shape and that my life, in turmoil at the time, was affecting that decision. He asked me to follow up with him, and used an unconvinced tone.
Ladies and gentlemen; my results:
BOOM!
I dropped 27 points on my cholesterol, lowered my BMI 1.5% and have a collective weight loss of 8 pounds (I'm told I gained weight with the muscle I added to bring my net lower than the 15 I recorded? I think their scale is broken)
HOLY CRAP!!!! 27 points (small simple tear moment). My doctor was so impressed with my results and so excited about what I was doing to take control of my health, he asked to pass my story along to others. Hells yes! You sure as shoot can! Time for some celebratory dancing:
That's it. That's all I got for today. But its enough. Its the validation I needed to continue to work as hard as I have been. It's the testament to my efforts and the bright yellow star on my report card. So, let's continue to celebrate and dance.
Oh yeah, good luck to all you Saprtans this weekend! I will not be participating in this one, but rest assured, I will be amongst the ranks in a future event.
BOOM!
