Getting old sucks.  Through the tests it showed I was pre-diabetic on sugar and liver function showed I was doing rather poorly to the point the doc said it showed I suffered liver damage.  Yikes.  But really, not that surprising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever since COVID pandemic started I was working from home.  I admit I was being pretty lazy.  I was not getting out of the house and walking or anything that much.  So I wasn&#8217;t too surprised that my blood sugar level was&#8230;  ahem, a bit off.  The liver one surprised me a bit but I guess it really should not have.  Not exercising, you don&#8217;t burn off stored fat or anything.  So your liver gets fatty.  Sound like I was making foie gras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So after that initial lab test, I made an effort to do something each day.  If it was just a short walk or some pushups at home.  Second test a few months later showed improvements for both sugar and liver function.  Sugar was within normal range.  Liver function was still too high.  Doc ordered another test in 3 months time in December.  This test showed my liver function was down good and we do not need to continue with the testing.  Cool!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I am still working from home so I really need to clean up my act and cut some of the sugar intake and keep doing the healthy stuff.  Not really a new years resolution as I started doing it already but I need to keep it up.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, new years resolution;  keep getting off my fat ass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A while back I got a lab test of all lab tests because of turning 50.
