The hidden numbers of health

[SportyGirl75]

So I was a bit disappointed in maintaining this week on the scales. However, sometimes we need to put things into perspective - having just returned from my 3 monthly GP appointment to monitor my medication. My lifestyle changes of increasing exercise and eating more healthily meant that even after cycling the 5 miles to the surgery my Blood Pressure was lower than 3 months ago when I drove to the appointment. She was happy and I left encouraged. Obviously I cycled home - pretty much all up hill and completed the 10.5 mile round trip in an hour.

Wow fantastic cycling uphill I would have enough concentration to cycle in a straight line.

You are right I too maintained this week but put into perspective and getting back on track where as before I would have given up with a weeks no loss but not now.

Brilliant your BP is lower just shows it's not all about the scales.

Good luck hope you have a fab day. 👍😊

Brilliant news and massive well done. Keep it up and don't worry about maintaining; easier said than done, I know that from experience. However, maintain is actually a good thing - it means you did not gain!

Sometimes the results aren't always on the scales and lowering your blood pressure is just as beneficial to your health in the long term as losing weight - well done you!

To me, the improved health is what it is all about and seeing the proof in front of you really does bring it home - well done on the cycle ride as well!
