With my age (66) my A1C was starting to creep in the wrong direction the last couple years. I decided the first of the year to watch better what I ate.
I basically cut out 90% of my current carb intake (all the bad stuff) limited the alcohol intake and continue to be active every day.
The first couple weeks I dropped a few pounds. The next three weeks nothing. I knew it didn't go on overnight, so it wasn't gonna come off overnight. I weighed in today and had dropped 7 pounds in about two weeks for a total of 16 pounds in seven weeks. About 15 more and I'll reach my goal.
I feel better dropped a shirt size and two inches off the gut line. Another five weeks before I go in for a A1C test.
What I'm doing is easy and becoming a daily normal process.

I am also 66. Far as I know my A1C was okay last time I checked. I don't know if it's just my metabolism or what?. But I can eat what I want and drink all the beer I want and I still am at 189 lb at 6 ft tall. Maybe it has to do with the food in Vietnam because I do lose a few pounds when I'm here. Usually I'm 194 or 197 in America. I did have to tighten my belt up one notch since I've been here. But shirt sizes are still XL. I guess that ain't too bad for a guy that's 66.
Morning everyone. 5deg and snowing, I'm so tired of this stuff. Good news is the coffee is on and going down good.
And the wife’s friends live just north of the border, glenboro/baldur area
Just bought a 3/16 & 5/16 kit. $58 cdn on amazon. That stuff is awesome!
So easy to work with and flare.
Nope overall I think we do better than most our age. I still play competitive year-round softball, cardio tennis, golf, workout etc...
A couple years ago I just picked up too much junk food, eating out too much, wrong portion sizes etc... All easy fixes if you want.

Figure I shouldn't low idle too much or the carbon will build up.

When i was in my early 40's i went diabetic (thanks coke!) and they wanted to put me on metformin and all that.. i ended up cutting out sugar/carbs 100% and working out, dropped my a1c fast, no more diabetes and felt amazing... I ended up on Keto for bout a year and never felt better in my life.. i had to stop though cause i got too skinny. Went from 250 to 146# in 7 months.. Right now i'm so addicted to sugar (Chocolate) that it's just horrible.. can't seem to break it again.

Funny dark chocolate is ok for diabetics. I'm sure though there is a daily limit. I've never been a candy eater.

Yoga!!
Too bad you aren't closer, I upgraded my spin bike, I'd give you my old one. Good, low impact since you're not absorbing impacts like mountain biking.

I actually gave mine away when i got the rower.. I got a Concept2 D rower and it's more of a work out than the bike since i'm hitting a lot more muscle groups.. I didn't expect it to be as hard as it is though.. 30 mins on my bike was not bad.. 15 mins on the rower is just pain..
I think working out after 40 plus years just becomes a part of the day. I've lapsed before and felt awful when I did. Just easier to do it.

Wow, this got screwed up X 1000 copies. No one proofed it before printing? We looked back and our computer file was perfect.
