stuck at 212

So I've been stuck at 212 for almost a whole week now.  I changed myfitnesspal to my newest weight, it requested I drop my daily caloric intake by about 30 calories.  I would say "done" but I've kinda gotten use to going over my daily goal in favor of lots of cardio.  Guess that's why I'm not losing.  Next week I'm back to work, for a week anyway.  That always helps me control my calories.

On the plus side.  Went and got my blood work done for a wellness thing at work.  Turns out, I'm in the normal range for everything.  Whoo hoo!  No diabetes for me.  That was a major concern and reason why I really started this whole Fit by 50.  See, I have a co-worker who was diagnosed and every time I see him eat something sugary, I call him "One foot" for the rest of the day.  Just a in-your-face reminder that I care about him and his health.  Plus, he's having a hard time being good.  Guess after 50+ years of stuffing his face with whatever he wants, being told "no sugar" automatically makes him crave it.  We always crave what we can't have.  Tried to tell him eat more dates 'nature's candy' but he just frowned and said "no."  Stubborn men.  Plus he doesn't do enough exercise to combat stress.

For anyone offended.  I do know that diabetes has many causes, not just too much sugar.  My father, aunt, nephew, uncle and I'm sure plenty more family members are diabetic.

My hubby has been suffering from nosebleeds for 2 days.  Told him to rub some Vaseline up his nose with a q-tip, but men are stubborn.  So I put a baby humidifier (all I have handy) in his bedroom.  Hope it helps.  Also told him "no picking, use a tissue."  Gross.   I know it's not his blood pressure or too much stress.  His nasal lining is dried out.

One thing I did learn, my cholesterol is getting too close to 199.  It's at 189.  So time to ditch more of the saturated fat foods.  I celebrated the ending of this by eating a actual french bakery croissant.  It was nice while it lasted, but clogged arteries are not part of my health goal.  No point in being Fit by 50 if I have a heart attack. 

Eat less, move more!
