I must be doing something right. In spite of all the things I've learned about weight lifting differently, Tabata, and all the rest, it seems I need to just go out and exercise long. I did 45 minutes on the elliptical yesterday with 30 of them low and slow. I then just did a slightly uncomfortable faster speed for the next 10 minutes. I couldn't have kept it up much longer, but my HR got up to 162. I'm glad I'm learning to mix it up a bit.
I've also obtained the lowest BP I've ever measured. It's incredible that a guy my size still, and with a pot belly still, can do this well. I still struggle to get the glucose down, but I'm getting there. I always thought that eating late at night might have affected things, but last night I ate oatmeal and bread and it didn't seem to affect things overall. I think the biggest factor was that I finally got a decent night's sleep. I haven't been sleeping well at all lately, but last night was good and I know that helps in overall health.
BP: 111/67
Pulse: 51
Glucose: 129
