With waves of rain in and out, during a break in the rain I went for a bike sprint. Hard effort. Everytime I start one of these things I tell myself, no need for a PR, but I still blast away anyway.
No PR today but my second fastest. 7 sec short of PR
2.5 mile mountain bike sprint - Laurel Branch Trl
Time - 10:03
Max HR - 178
Also doing resistance work, pullups, bands, etc...
HR in the 160s for the first 6 min, 170s for the last 4 min. No big HR spike this time, just a small one. Hit max HR at the end and it dropped to 173 then after 30 sec, briefly went back up to 178 before falling 20 points in a less than a minute. This might be a perfect daily or every other day workout. Short, hard, doable.
One of the inherent risks in this course is how fast do I take the gravel turn coming down the hill to my driveway. Going down would not be worth it.
Enjoying having Roya here and eating really well. Huge salad last night, and during the day yesterday, half a chicken breast and an apple. Tonight I'm going to make a small paella with low carb rice, seafood, and vegetables.
143.1 lbs after workout.
Good new for my brother, his latest CT scan of his abdominal aorta and mesenteric arteries show no blockages.
As with most women I've dated, I do all the cooking. I've rarely met a woman who can out do me in the kitchen.
Tonight's meal: Seafood paella - with cod, scallops, salmon, tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini, carrots, fresh basil, onions, peppers, garlic, lemon, paprika, turmeric, garlic salt, and pepper. Yea, missing the saffron. The kicker: Lavivia instant shiritaki rice, low carb, less than 1/2 the calories of regular rice. I calculated less than 800 calories in this entire large bowl. 5 good sized plates of food.
Great news about Tom. Was this a special type of CT that estimates blockage with a numerical scale or a qualitative assessment such as trace, mild, or moderate calcifications? Does this mean there is a significant reduction from lipid therapy - or is this the first read on these particular vessel’s (you said latest so I assume it is a repeat scan) Finally how much were lipids lowered from his pharmacological intervention?
