Saved enough from smokes to do a trip to Whistler next week for my first ski trip in eight years. Stop in Chilliwack to float for some Steelhead. Next step is to get back to karate.

Congrats to you!

55 and going through similar issues. See your Dr. have him refer you to a dietitian and I would sure be getting blood work done. Possibly a referral to a hypertension specialist. Started a weight program with an excellent trainer that’s 57. He’s been great at keeping the training to fit me. Haven’t been this healthy and strong in probably 15 years.
I’m much better off than as few as a few months ago just go easy and consistent is the key. If your Edmonton and interested in chatting with my trainer pm me. Good luck..

Have you considered using a Naturopath to do a food sensitivity test?

All the diet books in the world won't work if they are telling you to eat foods that you are sensitive to. Even though the food is generally considered to be clean and good for you, if you're intolerant of it it won't matter. I know lots of people who have done one and it's cleared up allergies, helped with weight loss, migraines, stomach issues etc etc. I did one 2 weeks ago and get my results on Friday.
FYI - I'm NOT a naturopath. just trying to eat a little cleaner but like most i've plateaued and am trying to lower cholesterol a little. Eating clean didn't move my cholesterol levels one iota so i turned to a Naturopath to see if i'm eating stuff i'm intolerant to, and is my bodies reaction to raise cholesterol. We'll see over the next few months.

Re naturopathy from Wikipedia...
"Naturopathy or naturopathic medicine is a form of alternative medicine that employs an array of pseudoscientific practices branded as "natural", "non-invasive", and as promoting "self-healing". The ideology and methods of naturopathy are based on vitalism and folk medicine, rather than evidence-based medicine.[1] Naturopathic practitioners generally recommend against modern medical practices, including but not limited to medical testing, drugs, vaccinations, and surgery. Instead, naturopathic study and practice rely on unscientific notions, often leading naturopathic doctors to diagnoses and treatments that have no factual merit.

Naturopathic medicine is considered by the medical profession to be ineffective and possibly harmful, raising ethical issues about its practice. In addition to accusations from the medical community, such as the American Cancer Society,[10] naturopaths and naturopathic doctors have repeatedly been accused of being charlatans and practicing quackery. Over the years, many practitioners of naturopathic medicine have been found criminally liable in the courts of law around the world. In some countries it is a criminal offense for naturopaths and naturopathic doctors to label themselves as medical professionals."

Edit: I may have gotten a little heavy handed with the blue highlighting there

Also, spontaneous weight loss for no apparent reason is generally regarded as one of the best reasons to GET YOUR ASS TO A DOCTOR!

I can attest to the impacts food sensivities can have. I had the test done a couple years ago and cutting out the foods on my list was very beneficial to me, particularly with regards to digestion and my immune system. Good luck with the changes going forward, the first week is definitely the toughest, depending on what sensitivities you have, and eating out may be challenging. After cutting out the foods I am sensitive to for several months I have been able to reintroduce the foods in small amounts without issues.

I try not to workout that much or excersise as the wife doesn't need another reason to jump my bones. It's like sometimes she doesnt even know that I have feelings and that I am a human being. Not just some play thing.
