Flushed Away

DAY 9
Kilos lost ????

Woke up this morning with my throat swollen.  Thought I would go to the doctors to get something to get rid of whatever lurgy I had picked up fast so I could keep going with the fitness!  What a mistake that was!!  I was given a huge slap in the face by reality and am still a little bit disturbed by the fact that I am no longer young and resilient!  It probably doesn't help that another birthday is rearing it's head! lol

The reason I have been so gung-ho on my exercising and help is that I have been battling with high blood pressure most of my life which has slowly gotten worse over the past year or so.  I have always joked that I am just a high performance vehicle but I guess now I will have to take things a little more seriously.  I found out that my throat (along with my feet, fingers, hands and ankles) is retaining too much fluid because my kidneys are not working properly.  Mix that in with my blood pressure and my high stress levels and my reality check is not too pretty!

Now it is the time to definitely get my life in order and make some changes.  One thing I know is definite - no more wine until my kidneys are working properly (omg - that is going to be torture!!)  The rest I guess I'll work out with hubby when he gets home from work and I can get my head around it.

All I can say is "watch this space" I feel big changes coming on!

On a positive note my Tower 200 is waiting for me to pick up from the Post Office, I now have the door and I'll soon have the gym!!
