A new beginning

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...)
