After buying my lunch and heading back to my desk, the guy who checks everyone’s ID (before you enter the elevator, required here at the Ren Cen) said “that is a healthy lunch”. I had a salad and a banana (and no pop/soda).
The doctor told me I need to eat salad because the fast food options I have here at work are probably too fatty. I went to see the specialist (doctor) because my triglycerides were 1800 while fasting for 8 hrs and 1300 after fasting for 12 hrs.
My wonderful wife cooks amazing food (always takes great!) and I doubt that is the problem. I rarely eat much for breakfast, usually a ceral bar and some juice. I truely believe there is another cause which the doctor seemed unable to determine.
He also suggested exercise, which I’m trying to get. Before I had volleyball on Wednesdays, and now we have softball on Mondays. But he said it was the wrong kind of exercise, I need to stay active for 15-20 minuts straight like running/swimming, not stop and go sports. Unfortunately I don’t have lots of extra energy to do things like that, which is ironic because triglycerides (I think) are energy the body hasn’t converted. It seems like a circle!
Maybe DDR is the answer!
