Good news today: My blood pressure has been normal for the last two days! This is the first time in at least a year that this has happened. I have acheived this by obviously reducing my caloric intake, and also, by keeping my daily sodium intake to the lowest amount I can. No more than 2g a day.
This has reminded me of somthing very important. This is not just about losing weight. it's about getting healthy. It's about surviving. The days of "I wanna look good in my bathing suit" are over.
It's also very motivating to know that in a matter of less than two weeks, my body is allready healthier. The best advice I can give to any fellow dieter is this: savor, and celebrate the small victories. Every pound you lose is a step closer to the goal of a better life. Every point your blood pressure drops, is a victory. I dont care if you need to lose 20lbs, or 200. Celebrate every step of the way. A win, is a win
As always, I thank you all for reading. Your support means more than I could ever express.
HELL TO THE YES MAN! Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI'm lovin your attitude, Chris!
ReplyDeleteChris that is awesome! So many people do not realize the impact that blood pressure has, whether it is too high or too low. I'm still working on raising my blood pressure to a normal rate (without getting angry, lol), and it's taken me two years! Keep it up!!!!
