So I'm here with my follow up doctors appointment. It went GREAT! My blood pressure is now on the upper end of normal, which is "safer" than where it was.. GO ME! It means that everything I am doing is definitely paying off :D He wants to see me again in a month to make sure it is still down, and if so, I will be ok! As long as I keep doing what I'm doing :) He almost seemed surprised that the scales showed a loss (although not as much as I HAD lost).. which was satisfying lol
Anyway, as far as working out today goes, I have done only one treadmill "run". I walked for 30 minutes, burned off 222 calories and walked a total of 2.95 kilometres. I was contemplating a second one, but to be honest, my legs are stiff and tired, and I just don't want to push myself to the point where I can't do it. So I think I need to be a little easier on myself until my body gets used to being pushed more and more.. I haven't exercised in SUCH a long time, so it's going to take a while. I will just play it by ear, and push myself further every now and then, just to see how I cope.
And as a reward for my success, I bought myself some workout clothes! No, I didn't have any.. I have been power walking in my pajama pants LOL The only problem with the pants I got, is that they don't have a pocket, so I have to tuck my iPhone into the band, and it keeps falling into my pants! So I have to rectify that problem, somehow!
So I just thought I'd share how all of it went, and to say I'm pleased is an understatement :D
I'll check in tomorrow with more!
