Walking back to Happiness

I got out for an hour and a half walk this morning, looked at forecast and it showed that all day was going to be wet so just bit the bullet, was soaked but felt better for it.

Fantastic result  your doing brilliantly.

moomy I hope you will be able to stop worrying soon and hubs can reverse all the damage done. 
Well done to everyone for everything you’ve achieved today xx

Oh Moomy, that's awful!! Let's hope he makes a good recovery and I hope you've shouted at your GP a lot!

My mother died of medical negligence in 2014. I had to go to the GMC and have him struck off.  Worryingly, it was at the hospital where I will be having my operation in two weeks!

Well done on the weight loss too and the exercise. I am even more determined to lose some more weigh before my op after my assessment. It made me feel like the lowest of the low. Anyway, I'm not one to stay down for long, so I will continue to tackle the issue! Just done another 35 mins cardio walking, even though it nearly killed me!

Nice garden, I have a yard, which is full of building rubble at the moment, so all my walking is indoor!

Thanks Santababy, I've got a looooong way to go!  I had to go for an appointment today and I was so desperate to do some walking I didn't even mind the rain... true it was only from the carpark to the building, but, how I wish it had been longer!

Well done everybody on weight loss. I can feel the difference since starting calorie counting otherwise known as curbing my eating especially the high calorie stuff. Agree with Violetsniff that we need a treat. I usually manage with some dark chocolate daily too but went off the rails this past month. There’s  still Christmas stuff in the cupboard but I’m only allowed a slither.. but not yet...not until I get a bit more weight off and then it will be weighed and eaten only if I have calories available.

This morning caught up with the rest of Adriene yoga session I didn’t complete the other day. The afternoon plans went a bit Pete tong as had to sort out my flat car battery so no walk but I have the option of hoop/hiit.

Kwissy in Feb last year my friends house was on fire and four of her cats died and it was a right mess! The next day I had a very strange chest pain so rang 111, who automatically wanted to send me to hospital. I knew I wasn't having a heart attack so they compromised and sent an ambulance to do an ecg on site. They discovered my blood pressure to be almost 200 over 90 and my pulse to be under 50, so they took me in!  I was in the ambulatory care unit as apart from that i was feeling much better.... I sat there for four hours while they did ecg, which was normal, bloods, chest xray etc etc. They came out every so often and didn my bp which went down each time. By the time they let me go it was 120/80. I think I do have white coat syndrome or anxiety over my bp. They took it four times today and the last one was still high, but she said it had come down each time she took it....... Maybe the fact i have cancer and i have to have anaesthetic even though im hugely overweight and petrified, might have something to do with it? lol im determined to lose a bit of weight and increase fitness before the 26th xx

When I went for my pre-op I was exactly the same as you @rebblespad with regards to raised blood pressure and I felt that they were sceptical when I told them I had white coat syndrome!  Your anaesthetist will speak to you before your operation anyway and will take very good care of you. You are being very determined at the moment -keep it up and you will have done all you can to help the situation.Wishing you a good outcome from your surgery.Hugs xx

Re blood pressure and white coat syndrome, a friend of mine has that too - she now insists that she is given time to do some deep breathing before they take her blood pressure - and then it’s fine! The mind is a strange beast. 

Middling walk today, persistent rain but still glad to be out. Not sure the dog was though! Looks like it might be better tomorrow so will get her out for a decent walk then. No photos today. 
Joe Wicks is back again tomorrow at 9am if anyone fancies joining me! Love to all, HFxx

Thanks Kwissy that made me feel better. Another reason my bp could have been up is because as i was in the waiting room at the assessment centre, my boss rang to tell me that someone i had worked closely with on Friday had tested positive for covid! I work ppe and was hand washing etc so im sure i will be fine, but it put me in a bit of a spin to say the least!

Yes @rebbelspad that could affect your BP.When my best friend from work got COVID I was a complete stressbonb! I am glad now that with better meds and immunisations we have hope.

my BP has always been extremely low.I made sure I told the Anaesthatist when she came to see me prior to my op.As it was I was told afterwards that they had been very worried about me post—op( DIEP) I always wondered why..nobody ever said x

have been doing my dance steps and today went for a local history walk.I have just read a book about my local history and want to try and find a place on it.am old Sweet ahop.Fortunately Inthink it was still there...at least the nearby okd buildings were.however there is s new build and I am wondering whether they pulled it downxx

I love history! I'm so getting into this fitness malarky now, im even thinking of doing couch to 5k as soon as I am fit after surgery! Working my way up to it in small doses first!
