Getting Healthy?
Jackie's cholesterol numbers are up and her blood sugar is slightly above average. She's determined to get healthy inside of just ignoring doctor suggestions.
She's joined Gold's Gym with me and we had our meeting with a trainer and got suggestions for eating habits and workout. I'm a problem case, of course. My carpal tunnel, Viking's disease and bad back makes getting physically active a bit diffcult. I'm going to focus on my legs and cardio on the recline bicycle and slowly start building the strength back in my arms being careful with the forearms and shoulder muscles.
Jackie did 2 rounds on the circuit and I did 25 minutes on the bike Friday. Ended up doing 3.3 miles - the last bit at a faster rate.
Tomorrow we'll give it another go around.
Jackie's watching her calories (so am I). We miss the mark but have dropped the calories a lot and she's learning just how many calories are in some things like white bread. After losing some weight and learning to deal with calories we'll then work on the cholesterol eating thing. Losing some weight will help her numbers and will help my body.
Wish us luck, Mom!
