It has been a long time since my last post. I have now included Protein Shakes every now and then as a meal supplement on some days into my diet. Meal prepping is not a chore for me but has become lots of fun. I watch lots of online cooking video especially (Natashakitchen) I am buying more fruits, vegetables, nuts, yogurt, cheese, eggs and less red meat. (for meat I buy shrimp, sardines, salmon, fish, chicken) Sometimes I do not stop by the meat department at all. Mostly I carry around the hand-basket to do my shopping and hopefully, I will start to remember to bring in my own grocery bag so I won't have a hand full of plastic bags that quickly add up.
I am soon doing my Wellness Health Checkup for the new benefit year. I am hoping for improved results. It has been a year now. I must receive an overall score of 75/100 in order to keep my Health Care Incentive of $10-20 per month off of the premium which is a saving on a low income. And more importantly, an improved score is good to know that my health status is improving by following doctor's orders and that their medical advice has been beneficial and has been worth following. Good results is a good reason to continue in any program.
As soon as I get the updates, I will post it. Current weight today is 202 pds and bp is 120/79 pulse rate 62. Anxious to know about blood glucose levels. My last visit it was 88 and I was considered to be in the pre-diabetic stages. So I hope my change in diet has changed this score for the better.
