Visited my GP this morning - he suggested (drum roll, please!) that we do a trial of no blood pressure meds!! Woo hooo!!
I also discussed my back injury with him, and he said I was "lucky" because it was my middle back and not upper or lower - so it'll heal more quickly.... but did tell me that I needed to stick to "brisk walking for two weeks, which shouldn't do much damage to" my progress.
But really. Read that first paragraph again. Since I saw him in July, I've lost 1 1/2 stone, 4 inches from my waist, quit smoking, started running... I feel like I've been handed an award! lol
Happy Birthday to me!
Repeat after me: I am a runner 🏃♀️
Running makes me happy 💃💃💃
Congratulations to you! You must be feeling so good right now! And rightly so! 😀😀👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉
Yay! Good for you!!!! The less medication the better, and as you get healthier and fitter, you should hopefully be free of it completely.
Your hard work has paid off. Once you get into the idea of eating healthily it becomes second nature, and the more you keep running, the less you crave unhealthy food. Well, that's the plan. As runners, and being more active in general, we can manage the occasional treat. "We can always run it off!
(I soooo cannot "run off" what I'd really like to eat on some days - my stamina just isn't there for a marathon yet!! lol)
Thanks, Flossie
I do - I really do.
