Def will do, just want to educate myself about before I do that, I'm yet to find a doc that I can call my own and build a medical history with so I feel like their main aim much of the time is to be a drug dispensing machine so they get kick-backs. I don't trust them to give me the best solution all of the time. Diet and exercise are easy things to change in the meantime. Thanks.
Had a quick look and can pick them up for $50 or so, never would have thought of that, cool.
Well I
feel like I'm relaxed, yesterday it was with a gym instructor doing a health check so I have no idea why I'd be anxious.
Will do!
AWESOME! That's actually one thing that I have changed, I did use to drink a glass most nights but I haven't for quite some time, and I figured not drinking alcohol was a good thing so let it go, my wine collection has been growing too much and I recon it's time I cleared out some space in my wine cabinet!
Gym membership is another area that has changed, I stopped doing what I was doing (3-4 times a week) in April as I was no longer enjoying it and not getting the results that I wanted, within myself I feel as though it's had a massive impact, I'm not at all comfortable with not exercising and have but on some weight. I've been checking out new gyms and have a trial for a new one tonight, hopefully it's a go-er, if so exercising every day won't be an issue.
Don't smoke, dunno what sodium is in, don't have a high fat intake but have been inactive lately which has impacted my weight as stated above. I have also started taking birth control, which I guess may be having an impact =/ I do think stress is a major factor but other things are clearly having an impact.
Agree completely, I miss not exercising.
Olive oil, fruit, fibre, relax, wine... check.
Wicked, thanks! I won't do fish oil, cause of the vegetarian thang but the DASH eating plan looks good. Exercise helps me with stress so getting back into that will have an impact in that respect.
Nope.
I'd always prefer to avoid medication, but sometimes it is the best answer.
Awesome, I can do that in my sleep!! Poached eggs on a muffin for breakfast, lunch and tea is teh best!
- Will get my own monitor.
- Join a gym *fingers crossed it's the one I go to tonight*
- Eat more fresh fruit (watermelon when possible)
- Go over the DASH eating plan so it can be included in my diet
- Hug my kittens more often to reduce stress
- Drink a glass of wine approximately each night
- Eat more eggs
- Learn what sodium is
- Increase olive oil in diet
- Follow up with a doc if it doesn't come down and then consider medication
THANKS guys!
