6. Awesome work! I like to hear success stories. It keeps me going!

I'm still working on my plan to be in better shape after completing my cancer treatment 18 mo ago and having a couple bouts of covid than I was before. IMO, I'm doing pretty well with it. My resting heart rate before was in the 85-102 range. Now it's between 69 and 81 range. Docs also had to halve my BP meds. I'm down 10 lbs (40 more will get me where I want to be). Have increased my physical activity (from 7 min on a treadmill to 25 min on treadmill in this past January to 25 min on elliptical, and 25 min of weights currently). I;m also a T2 diabetic. So far my glucose numbers have been the most stubborn and I can no longer take the med that worked so well for me (Trulicity) due to a bowel resection, 2 hernia repairs, and an abdominal wall reconstruction (set for 10/20).

I figure if I keep chipping away at it and moving forward, I'll eventually get to where I want to be. I wish I could imbue my older brother with the same desire to get in better shape.
