Been really busy last few days trying to help somebody overcome substance addiction. I've been there before and know how hard it is. But some people may not be totally ready to make the change. I just do the best I can and hope they find the balance and spirituality in life because addiction is just too powerful. However, I was still able to find time keep my walking close to where I wanted.

Monday went to see the VA RN and my blood pressure is 96/65 and heart rate is 50 bpm. I have been off the blood pressure medicine for months now and the nurse said marathoners usually have that type of BP results. She asked if I get light headed or dizzy and I don't. I hope one day to start running again but for now I think I am doing great just walking. It takes more time but I enjoy getting outside early in the morning and early evening when it is cooler.

One of the reasons I believe my blood pressure is low is because I use extra virgin olive oil when I cook. But I never cook at high temp. and cook as low as possible so I don't change the chemical composition of the oil. Olive oil is great at is natural state but after heating it up too much where it smokes it looses it's composition and harder to digest. When I cook my eggs in the morning on low temp... it takes much longer. Another reason is because I add garlic to just about everything I cook and I used it as a salt substitute. I sometimes go overboard with the garlic and put garlic powder and dried minced onions it on my eggs in the morning.

I just brush my teeth at least 8 times/ day.

I am starting to eat more and still losing weight. It takes time to build muscle from walking (months) and that is why there is a lag. But I can see the muscles in my legs and my waist is down even more... will be 36 soon. I still think walking 90 mins/day is perfect for me and hope to increase to 120 soon.

For the last 2 weeks have only lost 1 pound/week. It is more of a mental issue when I was steady at losing 3 pounds/week. I think we expect too much from the scales after trying so hard to lose weight. But the scale is just one of the measurement tools and is no where near perfect. The VA has put me on Testosterone Injections for last few months (every 3 weeks) and I can see the results from more muscles and less fat in my waist line. In last 3 weeks have lost 2 notches on my belt (about 3 inches). I believe there is a lag time of building muscle from being active and exercise. Many expect results right away and give up if they don't see them. The consistent daily improvements are the key to staggering long term results.

Not a huge loss but I'm sure that I am gaining lot of muscle mass. I had to tighten my belt another notch and the recent shirts I bought are starting to get more loose.
