Exercise matters
Just had my annual physical today. I have not been exercising for just over a year. I strained my back last May, then injured my shoulder in August that resulted in surgery in January. I used that as an excuse longer than I should have. Now, I'm just lazy and "cannot find the time." The previous 18 months, I was exercising regularly (2013 and 2014 weight loss thread).
Before started exercising in 2013:
Total Cholesterol: 192
HDL 46
LDL 128
Triglycerides 91
Blood Pressure 116/92
After exercising:
Total Cholesterol: 182
HDL 52
LDL 119
Triglycerides 55
Blood Pressure 100/60
Not exercising for a year:
Total Cholesterol: 206
HDL 44
LDL 139
Triglycerides 113
Blood Pressure 120/80
My diet did get a little worse, but not significantly. Mostly just more snacking at night. Only gained 2 lbs. But the composition changed significantly after shoulder injury and couldn't lift.
Just posting this to give me the motivation to get off my a$$.
