So I got up early this morning for my unscheduled Doctor's visit. I was meeting up with my doctor's PA to go over my options now that I'm prediabetic. We talked for about a half hour and came up with a game plan. I obviously need to do more cardio, he want's me to do at least 30 to 45 minutes a hard cardio workout every other day. He always wants me to cut out carbs, well bad carbs like potatoes, pasta, rice, bread... you know all the things that make up my diet. We discussed this thing called the Glycemic index which gives a number to food items and how they release their sugars into your blood stream, gonna have to research more on that.
I pretty much have to revamp my entire eating habits, I know it won't be easy but it's something that I have to do to regain my healthy body. There is also a medication that you can take that will slow the process of becoming diabetic. Since I was so close to the edge we agreed that I will take the medicine as well as revamping my diet and increasing my workouts. He also wants me to go see a diabetes specialist. I'll be going back in three month and having my blood sugar tested once again and hopefully with alot of hard work the numbers will go down. But even if they do go down this isn't something that I can just make go away.. I'll have to continue eating properly and working out for the rest of my life to maintain the lower blood sugar numbers. It's going to be a challenge but I'm up for it. I wanna be around for another 44 years.
After the doctors visit I headed into work, unlike yesterday the office was packed today since they were not shooting. I got to meet my office mates and they all seemed very nice and friendly. I especially liked the executive producer of the show.
When I got home tonight I had just enough time to watch Gotham with my friend Erik (via Skype). This was S1 Ep5 titled Viper. Bruce plans to find a way to speak to the board members of Wayne Enterprises
to know their connections of the Arkham Project. A new drug called
"Viper" is hitting the street where the user gains super-strength while
having to consume milk and cheese to replace their used up calcium and
would kill them if the calcium is not used. Maroni plans to rob a casino
owned by Falcone. While Gordon and Bullock look for supplier Stan
Potolski, Gordon is brought to Maroni when Cobblepot reveals that he
used to work for Mooney and wanted confirmation of Carmine Falcone
wanting Cobblepot disposed of. Afterwards, Gordon learns from an old
professor of Stan's that he plans to distribute the "Viper" drug (which
turned out to be an earlier version of Venom)
at a charity event held by WellZyn and Wayne Enterprises which Bruce
and Alfred are attending. Stan takes the "Viper" drug canister to the
rooftop in order to flood the ventilation as he broadcasts into the
charity event. Gordon and Bullock arrive where they arrange for the
evacuation. When Gordon shoots the canister upon making it to the roof,
Stan gets exposed to it as Bullock arrives. Stan then jumps off the
rooftop as he suggests that they check out a warehouse. A Wayne
Enterprise operative calls a mysterious person that the detectives found
nothing and will take action when they get too close. Gordon and
Bullock arrive at a warehouse where they find nothing. Outside the
casino, Cobblepot and Maroni await for Cobblepot's contact in the
casino. As Mooney makes plans to conspire against Falcone, a disguised
Liza visits him in the park where she shares her opera music with him.
Another entertaining episode. If they keep Penguin as one of the leads then I'm a happy camper. I really enjoy the actor's portrayal of this classic villain. I liked the interaction with Bruce and Alfred and the end when Alfred realizes that Bruce is actually on to something and is going to help him instead of trying to hinder him... awesome. Still not a fan of Fish Mooney and her plan to infiltrate Faclone group with her young protege. I'm softening a bit towards Bullock, I still think he's a pretty horrible person but I'm not hating him as much as I did with episode one.
Five episodes in and I'm enjoying this series. After episode one I didn't think I'd make it pass the second one, but week after week they keep me coming back... glad I gave it a chance.
