You’re Pre-Diabetic
That’s what I got told last week by the Nurse from the doctors.
I initially went in for some pain in my arm and chest, thinking I was having some form of a heart attack. Apparently it is a nerve thing, probably from my neck.
After all of that I went to have a blood test.
While there I was talking to some random guy in the waiting room, I learned that he only had one kidney now. Was supposed to stop drinking and smoking but hasn't and it's been that way for many years.
Then when I was getting my bloods taken, I learned from the nurse that her washing line had broken, and she had a new one.
S Find's it amusing that I hear these random stories from people. It's been like that forever. I always get random stories from people.
Anyway, I got the phone call and they told me the number for something. I asked what the range was. Turns out I am just in that range.
I'm trying to be more active now. This whole office based job thing isn't good for me. Or how almost everything I like to do involves sitting in front of a computer.
The goal is to lose some weight.
The other day we ended up at this used book place. I wouldn't call it a shop, it's a giant shed in the middle of nowhere with 10's of thousands of used books inside. They sell them, but also have some sort of book club thing where you get credit depending on how many books you give them.
It's all a bit weird, and it all seems to be run by 1 guy. Open weird days and times, but he is always there.
This time around I came across the book: Allen Carr's Easyweigh to Lose Weight, I've seen people have results with his most famous book: Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking.
Years ago at an old job this guy I worked with read the stop smoking book, then just stopped smoking. It was the weirdest thing to witness.
The job at the time would buy that book for anyone that wanted to quit smoking. People would read it, then just stop. It always stuck with me just how effective it was, so when I saw the lose weight book I thought why not.
- It's cheap
- I'm fat as fuck right now and pre-diabetic apparently
- I've witnessed the other book work first hand
It's an easy read. Finished it in a couple of days.
Not sure how accurate it is with some of the things said. Also don't know if a newer version has been updated slightly or not. My version looked like some sort of original with water damage.
It's making me think about food differently. Time will tell if it helps, but it's been interesting.
Lets see if I can turn this around and become a better version of myself.
