I recently got a bit of a scare from the doctor. My blood pressure is too high. So, in order to get out of taking any type of medication, I have to do that "healthy thing".... lose weight, get more exercise, and find ways to relax, de-stress, and control my anxiety (which has really gotten a lot worse in the last year or so).
So, I'm back online on My Fitness Pal again, tracking food and keeping myself accountable. I'm going to lose weight, for sure this time.
I stopped at Saje, and picked up some essential oils to help with the stress and anxiety, and help me sleep better.
I read up on my vitamins, and re-jigged my daily vitamin routine... taking more B-vitamins, and a calcium-magnesium to help relax me.
I found my acupuncturist who is now working at a clinic closer to home than she was before, and have booked a Saturday appointment for next weekend.
My hips have been sore lately, so I've already been seeing my chiropractor on a regular basis, but I will continue to go to him, and not put it off so often like I usually do.
And I have been in the pool, and not just floating about. I'm treading water and doing laps. In fact, I'm trying to move more... in the pool, in the garden, at home, at work.
It's going to take a lot of hard work to get where I want to be. But, I'm determined not to go on medication. So, I need to do this, and get results, otherwise I won't be able to convince my doctor.
