You can even make new topics and everything!

Hell yes. Can you imagine what Dan S or shillster will do when they find out about this?


Steamy

NICE!!

Whoo!!! Party on the Darkside until Paker finds out.

Ahhhhh, the little secret DS is true ...

Thanx for the key FHP!

He found out through me. He doesn’t get all the credit. (Not that anyone should be proud over this. Quite the opposite of anything.)


Steamy

Hell yeah baby!

Nice...

How have yall been? Really sh!tty year here, but caught a lot of fish so far, so I guess yay...

How about yewz?

Glad to hear you are at least catching fish, Evo. Did you end up renting a boat and fishing the clay banks at all yet?

We had a good season in area 11 and found some good fish. The coho fishing at the end of summer was also insanely good.

i did once the year i talked about it, ended up hooking 3 mooching, lost 2 had to release one, was pretty fun actually...

did really well on tidewater Dewamish coho the last couple years, and really well in the salt with my buddy as well...

did really well on Puyallup coho the last couple years as well, stupid WDFW shutting it down early again this year is garbage...

we ended up getting robbed in March, lost probably 130k or so in that debacle... a friend of mine died a few months ago that i grew up with, another had a grand mal seizure while i was on the phone with him during the last hurricane down in Florida...

ended up fvcking around myself and having a heart attack and almost croaked on the 14th of September, and ended up in the hospital 4 or so days later and got diagnosed with diabetes, that wasnt too much fun...

just been fishing and shooting a lot, been doing really well in sporting clays shoots that i actually shoot instead of screwing around, which i mostly do, but still do well...

speaking of that, gonna go sling some .22s at my little 3 inch target at 200 here in a bit with a buddy, you guys have a great day, ill see yall later...

ill see if i can figure out how to post pictures on here again, the S24 has a good camera on it, and i have some decently blurry pictures...

have a great day...

Got a couple this morning...





Oh I sent you an invite to my google photos album to your eggdrifter email address to see what else I've been catching this year.

How do you post pictures on here again.?

I use imgur.com, go there and click on the left green icon for "new post."
Then once your image has uploaded, right click and select "copy image address." Then type in the img tags, then paste your url. Then post.

Type 2 Diabetes, which is what you got diagnosed with, is 100% caused by what you eat and is 100% reversible. If you do not eat any sugar, artificial sweeteners or carbohydrates for 3 months, your diabetes will completely go away and it will not come back as long as you stay on the diet. So no sugar, no sweeteners of any kind, no bread, no chips, no grains and no alcohol.

For your heart, do not eat any preservatives in food, processed meats or seed oils. Your heart damage will not heal but you should still do this. The biggest risk factor correlated with having a heart attack is if you've previously had a heart attack, so since you are in the high risk category I would definitely eat a heart healthy diet.

What you can eat is fresh fruit (not juice), fresh vegetables including potatoes and fresh or frozen beef, fish and venison. You can eat nuts. The only oils you can eat are Olive Oil, Avocado Oil, Coconut Oil, Butter and Tallow.

You can't eat at any restaurants, you can't eat any processed or prepackaged food because they aren't going to be compliant with your diet.

You should also walk 1 mile every day or do 2 miles every other day.

I basically eat like this and I lost 100 lbs. For breakfast I just have unsweetened tea or coffee. For lunch I have fruit or nuts, today I'm having Pineapple but sometimes it's an apple, an avocado, berries or nuts. Then for dinner salmon, baked potato and broccoli. I make a lot of soups, chilis and "burrito" bowls where it's just beans and things you would put in a burrito but no tortilla and it's in a bowl. I never had diabetes or even pre-diabetes because I never ate sugar but if you eat like this your diabetes will go into remission and you can get off the medication. You should try and get your diabetes in remission because the medication only treats some symptoms and does not reduce your all cause mortality where eating healthy and walking will.

That's some pretty solid advice for Evo.

Definitely. I minimize my sugar intake and avoid processed foods as well. Almost 40, and I weigh less than I did in high school and feel fantastic and in great shape. It just takes discipline.

But ask Dan S. and it’s impossible to avoid sugar and processed foods.

Curious to hear the heist story.

And the heart attack story.

Welcome back, cumming soon.

where to begin...

so Saturday the 14th i think i was, i was going to Winco with Katie, and all of a sudden it felt like someone punched me in the back, my elbow hurt, and my pinky and ring finger were tingling, and i started sweating a little bit... i kinda knew what it was, but i kept telling myself it was just a panic attack...

never said anything to Katie, who deals with this crap every day, which was very very stupid of me...

so the following Thursday, i was going fishing with my buddies, woke up at 1:30 and my vision was absolutely jacked, thought i had gunk in my eyes so i rubbed one eye to be able to see, went piss, and back to bed... woke up 2 hours later to go, everything was fine...

got our limits of nice coho relatively quickly (still cant figure out how to post pictures), came home, did the fish, took a 1 hour nap, went to the store to get stuff to cook some of the fish, everything was fine...

had a beer, and Katie gets off, and all of a sudden im seeing double again, it was like my eyes crossed, and was turned counter clockwise... so she gets home and we go to the hospital at like 8pm at night...

get to the hospital, and it happens again, entire ER department erupted and freaked out, called a code, ran me back and started sticking things all over me, IV in, had to to a CT, MRI, and one other thing i cant remember...

my blood sugar was at 300 , my A1C was a 10.8, and the heart thing... well your Troponin levels, which is the protein thats released by only your heart, generally after a heart attack, or if you have heart failure etc, normal ranges are from 0-27 for a normal person, mine got up to 1280 at the highest point in the hospital...

they initially wanted to keep me for 5 days, but started seeing that i was actually OK, and thought it was the Diabetes causing everything, so they sent me home the next day afternoon... i was super hungry in there, and they gave me eggs, oatmeal with brown sugar, and orange juice, and i thought i was eating sh!tty yet healthy hospital food... good thinking process right?

wrong...

i came home and continued doing that for a few days, eating oatmeal, and eggs for lunch, and drinking orange juice, no pop, no candy, nothing... well i tested my blood one night, and the sugar levels were at 398, then 405, and Katie was like WOAH, but i felt fine, so i went to bed...

since then ive changed everything, almost zero pop, and only Coke or Pepsi Zero if i do have any (yes, i know artifical crap is just as bad, but im working on it), and its usually just a small glass with lunch, zero candy, zero fast food, which i was eating pretty much 25 days out of the month, then taking Katie to Dennys for breakfast every Saturday...

to bring my sugar intake into light, i would drink a 20 oz of Pepsi afer slamming a Ultimate Cheeseburger, or McDonalds equivalent, then at night, slam another half a one, and stuff my face with chocolate and candy .... every... single... night...

i told the hospital i was 250 pounds but i was likely more around 235 or so, i went to the cardiologist and weighed 228 a few weeks after being in there, and i weighed myself yesterday and was 217.. i do walk a mile or so per day, if im spoon fishing that can be jumped up quite a bit because i like to cover water, then cover it again, and a gain, and again... plus my backpack weighs 30 pounds so...

with changing my eating, while my BS isnt dead on perfect right now, a couple weeks ago i spent a whole week with a fasting BS level of low 120s, and got it down to 115 one day after eating and walking a sh!t ton...

i just eat salads, a protein shake for lunch, maybe some cottage cheese, then dinner, which is usually chicken or maybe tacos with low carb tortillas (1 gram net), fish, more fish, chicken, blah blah... kinda boring but it is what it is i guess for now... ive also done it all with no medication whatsoever for that...

i do have high blood pressure, and have, so i have to take Metropolol, and have a doctors appointment next week and will likely have to start taking Losartan because my baseline blood pressure right now is like 145/93 which is still way too high....

after changing my diet tho, all the pains i used to have, are gone for the most part, now its just some lingering BS from beating my body up and whatnot, but i feel really good now and am going to continue to keep doing what im doing because everyone has said im on the right track, and they are actually pretty impressed with what ive done which makes me feel good about everything...

ahhhh, the burglary...

im not even going to go into detail with all of it publicly, dont need his friends or family thinking we are the reason their dipshit son wont be getting out of jail for the next 15-20 years, but lets just say, if Ferguson would have done his job, and Inslee would have done his, it wouldnt have happened... but it did... it was also on the news.... atleast the detective is cool...

nevermind, figured it out...

Your blood pressure is a little high but not way too high. Prior to 2017, the old guidelines for blood pressure categorization were as follows:

Normal: Less than 140/90 mmHg
Elevated: 140-159/90-99 mmHg
Stage 1 Hypertension: 160-179/100-109 mmHg
Stage 2 Hypertension: 180 or higher/110 or higher mmHg

These old guidelines were updated in 2017 by the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology to recommend a lower threshold for blood pressure diagnosis, specifically 130/80 mmHg for adults of all ages. There are criticisms that these standards may be overtreating patients as the SPRINT study that these new guidelines are based on failed to replicate in further studies in Europe. Which is why the European Society of Hypertension and European Society of Cardiology recommend being under 140/90 mmHg. So if you take the less aggressive treatment that we used to do prior to 2017 or that Europe still does now and the studies are inconclusive about which standard is actually best then you are real close to getting down to normal blood pressure.

Yeah cheese, particularly low fat is good, but some people are lactose intolerant which is why I left it out, if you aren't it's fine as far as diabetes or heart health is concerned. Again with the chicken, some people have problems eating it but if you don't, go ahead and eat it.

I'm not sure whats in the protein shake or low carb tortilla maybe they are ok, maybe not. Just a caution on the salad. Salads are great but every single dressing at the store has industrial chemicals in it. So make you own salad dressing out of olive oil and wine vinegar, you can add other ingredients as well.

Beef, particularly lean grass fed beef or venison is also perfectly fine for you. You can even buy New Zealand ground venison pretty cheap at Grocery Outlet.

I'd cut the soda to zero but as you said you know and are working on it. You didn't mention alcohol so hopefully you cut that out as well.

Sounds like you are on the road to recovery.

Kept it brief as usual.
