I AM GETTING YOUNGER
Allright; If I disregard how my body is feeling after weight trianing, boot camp x 2 and then kickboxing this morning I am announcing that I have added some years to my life. HOW, by exercising and healthy eating of course, which has resulted in 18kg loss since Jan. About 5 years ago I was diagnosed with severely high blood pressure and an enlarged heart. There were a few times when the Dr threatened me with hospital fearing I would have a stroke. Since then I have ben medicated. I had to try a few but ended up on some very high dosage of meds. These meds succeeded in bringing the BP down some but not low enough to not be considered still dangerous.
Today I went to the Dr. Now, I only go when I run out of meds. My Blood pressure was in the normal range!!! I am so pleased to finally see some concrete improvement in my health. Of course I am still on medication and want to see that reduce in future. So exercise, as much as it hurts, and healthy eating, does bring about it's own rewards.
He also told me to ignore the goal weight and just try to get to a weight I can maintain; about 65kg. That took some pressure off! I know I may decide to get lower if/when I get to 65 but at least I do not feel pressured to do so.
So this is a HAPPY DAY!!!!!!!!!
