It's annual physical time for me, and it's always a joy to see that steady 1.0 serum creatinine level. As well, I've stabilized the triglycerides and cholesterol numbers that were creeping up with my weight until three years ago. I haven't stayed down at 50 pounds below that peak weight, and fat of three years ago, but I've stayed steady at between 35 and 40 pounds below peak, and far more muscular than I've been since I rowed crew as an undergrad nearly 40 years ago. I haven't remained slavishly strict to the philosophy that I should leave each meal still hungry, but I've succeeded in keeping calories in balanced with calories burned in exercise. My BP is down below the prehypertensive threshold. All in all, I've found a new normal that's in a better place, both by internal perception and in the range of worry free values for a variety of blood tests. Hurrah! How are you all doing?
