Lionel Sanders & Me
We have something in common and it's not our FTP. Had just watched his video last week, maybe I knew… my routine bloodwork just showed my A1c up to 6.0: pre-diabetic. My diet doesn't seem as bad as Sanders, but maybe not much better, and we're both pretty likely genetically predisposed (I guess). Basically no alcohol in a couple months as well, and my AST/ALT are up quite a bit too. Hmmm.
Maybe this is oversharing for a blog, but maybe a PSA on being average fit (VO2max recently tested at 60.6) is not an excuse for eating way too many off-the-bike/run oreos. Took the carb-forward advice from TR as a blanket for overcarbing. Still a bit puzzled, going to dial things in (back) and test again in a few months. Also, I'm not dying, but it's a wake up call.
Sam adds that "we're all pre-something"!
