Well this is my "Post-Vacation" weigh-in. Happily, instead of gaining weight on vacation, I lost 4 pounds.
Swimming and walking on the beach at the ocean for 5 days, followed by 2 days of SCUBA diving in Lake Travis helped. My body fat Percentage is still hanging around the 17.8% to 18% range, though. The goal is to eventually drop to 12% body fat. So, while continuing to work on trimming body fat, I need to start building muscle. That will mean putting on a few pounds. I don't know where my weight will end up. At this point, I'm just shooting for the lower body fat percentage. My waist is down to 34". Ideally, it would be 32" (the size I was as a high school athlete 40 years ago), so that is a mini-goal for me.
I think that I'm going to have to adjust my diet. I had a urinalysis done during my physical, and the Doctor is concerned about protein in my urine. This is often an early sign of kidney damage. However, I've been eating over 200g of protein per day on average, and I'm confident that this is just the excess protein that my body was unable to process. I'm going to have her hold off any further work on this for a few weeks, while I adjust my protein intake down to around 165.
I'm waiting for the detailed results from my cholesterol test. They should be in the mail in a day or two. I requested a pattern cholesterol test to determine my risk factors. My total cholesterol is HIGH, which has my doctor freaked out. However, just based on the preliminary data over the phone, I know that my HDL is around 250 and my Triglycerides are 128. That is a super-good ratio. My LDL is high, but what I'm waiting to see is whether its high in Pattern A (which I really believe), or high in Pattern B (VLDL). Anyway, based on my HDL/Triglycerides ratio, I think my risk for atherosclerosis or CHD (coronary heart disease) is minimal. Couple that with my great BMI (per the doctor), an outstandingly low blood sugar level, and all-in-all, I'm in pretty good shape for a guy pushing 60.
Have a great hump-day. Enjoy life. Remember to tell your family and friends how much you love them and how much they mean to you. Every day is a gift, and we have to make the most of each and every one of them.
