Dr here i come... I guess....

-
went to eat lunch at my mom and dads.. and after i ate i started feeling sleepy... like my blood pressure.....we dont own a blood pressure machine. .. so i was just curious to see what it was.... I could feel my pressure "dropping"

over the next 30 mins i took my pressure reading..
the first was 95 over 54 (which is what i usually run... my walking around blood pressure)
less than 10 mins later it was 72 over 49 ! yikes!
I ate some salt and took it again and it was 85 over 60...
then it steadily started to drop again.... my last reading was 75 over 50

I have never tracked my pressure... but now i know for sure this is what is wrong with me...
I just did some reading about what causes it..... and I know for sure that I dont eat enough salt ..... (esp after that hour and half workout this morning).... so until i go to the dr.... gatoraid will be my new favorite drink.

wondering whats "normal" for you..
heres a chart


i am off to sip some gator and hope i feel better soon (after i hang the clothes on the line :)

18 years of Choosing to Start Over

-
Welcome to were it all started, this space I created in January of 2006 to help me navigate my journey to personal health and fitness. I have come a LONG way from that first post 18 years ago and I am so grateful for all I have learned along the way. I will be coming here a lot more often over the next weeks, months and years as I have decided to begin writing, journaling and sharing here again. I hope and pray you might find inspiration here to help you along your own path to health and fitness. Please note that this 18 year journey consisted of several things I learned that did not work for me, others programs, supplements and others ideas of nutrition, health and fitness. I am leaving all these as is, so you can see my journey. I will be talking more about the different things I tried thru the years and what I learned about myself and what works for me along the way. If anything this blog chronicles my story of starting over and making hard choices to be who I someday dreamed of ...

Happy to say I am not very saddle sore from the bike ride last night.. think this ole tush is getting use to riding again:) it was nice to get up this morning and get to workout.. I did three b's .. squats, leg extensions, dead lift, leg curls, bi curls and then I decided to throw in some abs cause I didnt do them last night.. :) I am feeling stronger and stronger and that feels nice. I am also getting leaner.. today I notice above my knee caps was CUT!.. I am not going to complain here.. because getting rid of fat is getting rid of fat.. but why.. I ask you .. does it come off my knee caps, and my shoulders instead of my baby belly or my bottom? .. its just not really that funny but I cant help but laugh.. what do to.. but to keep going.. and some day I will have the nice lean increadably cut knee knees I have always dreamed of. :) hehe.. Happy friday! taking the kids swimming today.. first time this summer. have to run and get suits for them.. they keep growing out of theirs! ho...

Beautiful Monday and Weekend food hangover

-
it was a beautiful morning at the track.. temp in the 50s and no wind! I walked a mile with a friend, then walked jogged 1.5 for total of 2.5 miles this morning.. We came home and I did some burpies with the boys then planks, leg lifts, sit ups, and leg side raises. Those burpies are hard.. I am so sloooooow at them.. but i managed 5. This weekend was free for eating.. I gave that meat a try and its interesting how my tummy reacted..I also had a few cokes.. Isnt it funny how when you dont drink them for a while and then start drinking them again they dont taste near as good as you remember :) anyway.. I am back to veggin it today and looking forward to some green smoothies as soon as i go buy some more spinach :) I am so happy to be seeing muscle showing up in my legs again and really hope this means burning off the fat is not far behind :) I am off to make some breakfast.. decisions decisions.. whole wheat or oatmeal? hummmm
