I've been on an exercise program for four months now. I have been strength training consistently for six days a week. I'm doing this for two reasons; to reduce the affects of the arthritis that I live with and to get off the medication that I'm on. My doctor put me on Crestor for cholesterol and Lisinopril for blood pressure. When she put me on these meds I was living a somewhat sedate lifestyle with my blood pressure and cholesterol at high levels. There is a history of stroke in my family and I've been on these meds for over a year now.
It was a humbling experience, I though I looked and felt great but in her eyes I'm not doing enough. About a decade ago I used to weigh 260 lbs I'm presently at 225 lbs. However I find it extremely difficult to get below 215 lbs. She has told me that my cholesterol and blood pressure levels are now perfect but she wont take me off the meds. She says I must drop a further 20 lbs and she wants to see six-pack abs. I told her to consider it done.
Isn't she being a little rough on this old fart? If anyone has any suggestions on how I'm going to do this, please let me know.
I'm fucked!
