Was an orthopedic OR nurse for the past 18 years - weird eating times, so hard to keep to a good plan. As of July I'm working mostly from home as nurse consultant. Do gym three days a week with 1 hour of water aerobics and water jogging. Three days a week at home I do 30 minutes of resistance band exercises and 1 day a week on recumbant bike. Split everything up so only one type of exercise per day, but every day has something. Was in bad automobile accident years ago with spine injury and knee injuries and had to have knees replaced so limited in types of gym equipment I can safely use. Lots of activity daily besides computer and desk work.
Have a slow metabolic rate and on meds for basically non-functioning thyroid and arthritis. Cholesterol is OK, but LDH is not in balance with total and can't take any of the meds (really bad reactions). So working with lipidologist & nutritionist to come up with eating plan that will help decrease weight and LDH. Diagnosed with breast cancer 7-1/2 years ago, had lumpectomy w/lymphnode removal, radiation treatment and 5 years of meds. Been clean every check-up so far.
Just trying to eat more healthy and keep the vessels clear while loosing weight - slowly and safely.
