As of yesterday I was down 25 pounds. The only restrictions the nutrition support and coach have put on me is zone training. They don't want me in zone 4 or 5 because they don't want me out of the aerobic zone. If I spend any time in an anaerobic zone I simply don't have the carb stores to keep the body from looking for energy in the muscle mass. Or that is what I took from the suggestions they made.
The numbers sound pretty good for your cholesterol, I am at 65 for LDL and 125 for HDL, pretty close to yours. I have a genetic propensity to cholesterol problems that have proved fatal to my father, uncle, grandfather and several others. I was in pretty bad territory when I was so sick and having the surgeries, now with the dietary restrictions for the kidney disease and riding regularly I am doing very well. Your BP seems good to me too, but I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, so what can that mean
. Hope you keep up the good results, I am switching to a HR monitor a 50+ member sent me, so I can watch out for the same zone restrictions as you. Best of luck, keep us updated, too.
