BP -- frustrating
Thanks for sharing, sadly I have no solution only my own quandary.
Disclosure: I have NOT lead a healthy lifestyle. I have phases where I'm good- but that's it - phases. I am 5.11. 47 yo. At my high I was 265 pounds some years back. I've been as slow as 227, and currently 247. My diet with 1 being terrible suicidal to 10 being Whole Foods poster child.........I am a 5. I do eat fast food - once a week. I eat a donut most mornings. Some days I'm great like today - egg whites, 3 fruits, a huge salmon salad with avocado and tomato. Other days - yep, it's Whopper Time.
I'm on Ramipril and Amlopidine. Yet I keep getting high readings.
DOC - is visibly frustrated with me , I dont blame him. Last week I brought up BP and he was masking exasperation and just said "nothing More I can do on drugs....it's about weight and belly fat....IF you decide to do it".
So yeah I get it, it's on me. BUT I'm also wondering - does this mean that all peoples who are fat - never ever have normal BP even with drugs?
Exercise: I do 25 min walks - 4 times a week. Yeah, the other 3 days I fall off wagon. Of course - all of a sudden this week my darn feet and legs are so stiff! It's an effort to walk around the house I don't know what this is.
I'm scared.
Dang I love food and I'm trying. But i'e been "trying" for years and I need to do better. It's just - well - if you gave me a choice between a night with Miss America AND Miss Universe.....with all activities to be at my discretion, OR -- - a nice quiet Burger King dinner - I'm sorry, but I swear on anything - - yeah I'm going for the Whopper meal. I read, watch movies monitor investments, try to occupy myself But in the end I'm still eating too much, and the wrong things.
