After a visit to my doctor on Tuesday (16/2/10) I've made a decision to change my lifestyle. I have to get rid of 40-50 kg's. I have to get fit. I have to get my blood sugar levels under control. I have to get my cholestrol under control. I have to get my heart working efficiently again. I have to get my blood circulation circulating again. I have to get my blood pressure to normal. Either this, or my time here will be severely limited. Fortunately it's almost 5 years since I stopped smoking (9/8/05).
I had one heck of a skrik when my doctor told me she is worried, because she never admits to being worried. According to her, my heart sounds a bit tired....
My blood pressure for the past few days were:
16/2/10: At doctor's rooms: 150/110. Not good.
16/2/10: PM: 179/92
17/2/10: AM: 152/96
17/2/10: PM: 147/96
18/2/10: AM: 137/76
18/2/10: PM: 148/88
19/2/10: AM: 152/94
19/2/10: PM: 148/90
I'll be posting my BP every day. At this stage the scale shows me as over 151 kg's, so I'll have to wait until I'm measurable again before I can add that to my blog as well.
Please pray for me...
UPDATE: 16:00
Doctor phoned to confirm Tuesday's appointment. She received the result of blood sugar level tests, and sounds concerned... (Again...)

You sound determined and that's good!! You know what, don't go on extreme diets and deprive yourself from anything - yes,eat the slice of cake, have a beer...BUT not every day and cut down. It's a process of getting use to eat differently and smaller quantities. And don't try to focus on what you eat...the more you handle this in a natural way, the easier it will become.
Keep it up!!
