Haha AS, yeah I could go on and on about diet and working out. Because I have Type 2 diabetes (thanks genes), I have done some serious research into how to get it under control and not just rely on pharmacological drugs to do the work. The reliance on drugs is scary because if you don't make lifestyle changes, then you keep punishing your body and have to get on stronger drugs and eventually insulin - something I really want to avoid. Btw, I am no doc so no one reading this should take my advice as gold. I am just telling from what's worked for me.
Anyways, so getting my blood sugars under control is strongly related to dietary changes and physical exercise. So, I know what you mean about counting macros. I am slowly transitioning to a low carb lifestyle (and has to be for life for me), and that has done wonders for my blood sugar and also losing weight. I don't count my macros religiously, but I know roughly how many grams of carbs I am eating, and I try to meet my protein macros daily, and then fat on top of that which I don't count but eat as long as I am full.
I know this really switched from what we post about here, but what you mentioned about body fat is on the dollar.
In other news, I have the kids for the rest of the week and it's awesome to have them back. Feels like eternity since I saw them. W sent me a very cheery email about kid stuff today, which came across as odd to me. Like everything is peachy between us lol. It was all kids stuff so I replied and got it sorted, but just taken aback by the niceness of it. Great mind reading fodder but I just let it roll off and went about my business today.
