Well, went to the doc this morning to get my blood results back... PERFECTLY HEALTHY! Pretty pleased about that. I have to admit, some part of me actually wanted me to be pre-diabetic or something so I would have the motivation to keep getting healthy. I thought if I got a clean bill of health I'd lack motivation... but if anything I feel more motivated because I just feel so thankful for my health and I want to do everything I can to stay healthy for as long as possible (with the knowledge that even being healthy, very good chance I'll still get diabetes at some point).
So, the doc did my BMI for me this time. I'm 73cm and 89kg which gives me a BMI of 29. To get down to a BMI of 20-24 (the healthy range), I need to be 71-75kg. My mission, therefore, is to get down to 75kg and then re-asses.
She also told me that I need to do vigorous exercise for 30-40 minutes 4-5 times a week, or an hour 3 times a week. Totally doable with my amazing exercise buddy (thanks Amy). So, I am pleased to report that I have finished off the day with a DIY curry for lunch and pumpkin spinach and feta roll for dinner, no naughty snacks and a very intense hour long workout (gah, gonna be sore tomorrow). Feeling good. God is gracious.
