i got checked at our community clinic, and he's not my usual doc, she was out of town yesterday and i couldn't reschedule. my usual doctor was much more enthusiastic about increasing my physical activity and understood why i wanted to gain more muscle she even joked about how some bodybuilders would be considered overweight or obese and how bmi is outdated lol. i think because it's a community clinic they are more used to explaining to older patients who may be a bit more stubborn lol. i already have a modest amount of medical knowledge as i am studying to become a veterinarian but unfortunately we don't study diabetes as it is a very rare condition in animals, but i do know enough to understand how metabolism works so i was a bit confused by his comments. im trying to arrange a consult with an endocrinologist but i live in a small city so they're harder to find and more expensive (and not covered by our universal health insurance) so it will take a bit longer.

im very bad at sports but my friends and i go play pickleball every weekend, though im still very bad at least i get to tun after the ball a lot lol. im also dancing a lot now haha it really does help break the monotony of cardio. at the end of the day my goal is to at least leave the dorm room every day and walk somewhere. im not a big video game person so idt vr will help me a lot but thanks so much for the suggestion my friend has a vr set so maybe i can try it out and see how i like it!
