While I seem to be finding a bit of an equilibrium finally, I’m still not quite good yet, and thus -1 points. Anybody feel like healing a brother up? :)

symbioid had a couple thoughts.

Well, I finally got a scale and now I can weigh myself without waiting for the doc’s office. Alcohol free since Monday, so almost a week, and no cravings (well maybe when stressed a little thought, but overall, not any desire :)) Wish I had more energy – need to start exercising more. Speaking of weight… I seem to have lost 10 lbs, but not sure how much I’ve actually lost due to doc scale using clothes on, and how my scale weighs compared to it, but I think I’ve lost some (considering no alcohol, I’m pretty sure I have).

No alcohol makes a big difference – it packs a LOT of empty calories.

Ordered my scale on Friday. No alcohol last night, and hope to keep at that. Once I get past those first few days I’ll be alright on that front :) I hope this gives me more energy. Lots of housework to do today – put up a new shelf and take out the loads of garbage.

haha woops! double points moderation bonus — is broken. I got double points for everything and I probably only should have gotten it on one thing. Kind of funny that they overdid the point-giving on the moderation bonus.

A “moderation” rule is any rule that’s not “extreme,” and an “extreme” rule is one you have to do every day of the week (for DO rules) or not at all (for DON’T rules). Anything else is a “moderation” rule, so yeah, double points on moderation rules usually do add up to quite a bit.

Doctor visit today. Lab Results from Thursday were mixed. Prolly have to start going on a statin, and might see about an inhaler. We’ll find out. sigh… I’m doing better on the alcohol tip, though. 1-2 beers the past few nights, no liquor, and no more than 2. WHEEEEEEE! Once I keep this pace fora while, I’ll step up some of the other stuff (exercise, veggies)… Even small changes are harder than I expected.

Anyone need any fruit, I have waaaaaaaaaaay too much. 17 pieces total.

I’m on a statin too. My dr. recommended fish oil (USP certified for quality). My triglycerides were high too, so she suggested I try niacin. If you’re interested in niacin, I’ll tell you, DON’T take it without some dr. advice — niacin flush sucks.

oh, and how much “white” are you eating? white bread, rice, flour, sugar, etc… those are REALLY detrimental to that kind of health problem. if that sort of intake is high, try switching to whole wheat. I found that I put WAY too much sugar in my coffee to make it remotely palatable, so I just switched to quality-brewed, whole-leaf tea (SO much better than lipton tea bags)

good luck!

symbioid needs fruit, quite a bit.

I lost 1 life point because of the following things…

Did the custom thing

Well, I drank the last drop (I hope). But that squeezed the last life point out of me as well. Help. (Just a few life points would be nice, if I’m at like 4, no need to push me higher. I like to live on the edge…THANKS!)
