The bad news that has been delivered to me by my doctor is that I'm pre-diabetic.
I am only pre, so if I cut out refined sugars and carbs for a long stretch, as in three months minimum, I should hopefully be able to walk it back.
And if I wind up diabetic, it's not the end of the world. Still. One of those "you're 45, Charlotte, can't ignore it" things.
Anyways. I can cut candy without a sweat, but I'm going to need to research low-carb foods and how to prepare them, and that's gonna be fun fitting into my already overly fussy eating habits. But I did learn the joy of cooking this year; I'm sure there's good recipes for me out there.

Oh and they recommend 5 days of exercise a week, but that's a given already, I already do 20 minutes on a stationary bike with two days on and one day off

Well, about 50% of my favorite foods are on the avoid list, and the other half are on the enjoy list. I guess I better really start enjoying the taste of fish!

Aright, it's not quite as bad, I can still have carrots and I can have (a little) (low-fat) cheese, so ham and swiss on rye is probably my new go-to for the foreseeable future when it comes to an easy lunch.
