They're actually very good, like every week. Thanks for taking the trouble...
1. Do you have an exercise regime?
I do, I work out probably 5-6 days a week, in the gym. Have been going for many a year, but I only started noticing some improvement recently when I switched to hitting every body part (chest, back, legs) twice per week. My diet is still insufficient but I draw the line at eating half a kilo of chicken every day. But I'm ok with where I am right now, quite close to where I'd like to get as far as results go.
2. Have you ever been diagnosed with anything serious that made you change your lifestyle/scared the **** out of you?
Ermm...actually, it's not serious, even though it has caused a deep anxiety for a number of years, I have PVCs (Premature ventricular contractions) or a "skipping heart", which started some 15 years ago and has steadily progressed. Over the years I've learned that it depends on what I eat or how stressed I am (last year it got quite bad because I think I was overdosing myself with protein? My theory anyway, difficult to tell but I cut back and it has gone done significantly). Anyway, that made me quit smoking some 7 years ago. Apart from that, fit as a fiddle!
3. When last did you see the doctor (for Covid reasons, this includes video visit)?
Not counting the gazillion covid tests I did in January, I think it was in December, I had some sort of canker sores at the back of my throat? which I wouldn't have gone for but it kept happening for a month or so and since it's the throat, y'know. Turns out it was just an acid reaction (eat a lot of citric fruit at all hours).
I go to the doctor quite frequently, which is unfathomable to the rest of my family. If I have the least bit wrong with me I go, screw waiting, that's what they're there for. Plus I have great insurance so why not?
4. Ever been hospitalised?
Apart from the tonsils being taken out, just had one other "minor" surgery...khm...better not say what it was about. Nothing very serious tho.
5. What's your alcohol intake like?
When I'm alone, like now, zero. When I'm with my partner, we split a beer before dinner. And of course if we go out or meet friends for dinner I drink, that happens maybe once per month. Not a big fan of alcohol. I can drink wine but my preferred choice is a good cocktail.
6. Name one thing you do that you know is not healthy, but you do it anyway and have little to no intention of stopping.
Well I've cut out beef almost completely, but I just can't quit pork. I love spanish jamon too much, and various other products (chorizo, guanciale etc). Chinese and Vietnamese cuisine are rather heavy on pork and I love both so...whattayougonnado?
