Chancellor again

Finally made it up Chancellor again yesterday. My routine has been thrown out of whack with going to the market, Mayaro etc. but I must do something. I'm eating quite a lot of shit as well so need to be more disciplined on diet. At least I get some kind of sweat on the land!

Inactivity

Haven't done anything positive for a while. I was laid low with the flu and subsequent fatigue for a couple of weeks. Then Ronald was here for a week.

Need to get back in a routine soon.

Sick

Went up Chancellor this morning - hamstring pain kicking in, did a little stretch at the top but not much.

Came down with one of my instant colds today - including the chills. Took a couple comptrex severe cold - hope it takes care of it because I want to head to Mayaro tomorrow.

Just took my bp - 140/96, 116 - pretty high but not taken under ideal conditions.

Bought a six month supply of micardis today.

Post planting

After yesterday's seed planting in Mayaro I am just beginning to feel some hamstring effect - I need to get up Chancellor to get a good stretch out.

First reading

Used the omron for the first time this morning - 135/90 pulse 67

Guess I'll take a reading every week

Omron

Made it up Chancellor again this morning - still around 34 min, no real burn but as usual i did some good thinking on the way

Got the bp monitor today - just about to check it out

Back online

The blog was down for a while because it had been flagged as a spam site and was disabled. In the interim I've gone up Chancellor a couple more times and ordered a bp monitor which should arrive by tomorrow.

Taking the micardis without any negative reaction.

Chancellor, BP, tetanus etc

Went up Chancellor again this morning after a lull of a few days - made it up in around the standard 34 minutes but without much of a burn - I guess I need to up the pace a bit - maybe jog the last section.

Got a tetanus booster today - need it for handling the fowl manure etc - should be good for at least 5 yrs (10 nominal)

Roger recommended that I go on medication for hypertension - I was at 130/90 which is borderline and he said that kidney damage is likely to be hapenning. Prescribed Micardis but I've found some negative reviews online.

Chancellor again

Went up Chancellor again this morning after dropping J to school - saw Jizelle Salandy. Good walk - got to think some things through.

Chancellor & savannah

Made a chancellor this afternoon then a savannah - plenty of people playing football, cricket et al. Hope to make it around more often.

First exercise post

When I applied for my heavy T I had to do a basic medical - and my blood pressure reading shows me as borderline hypertensive. What to do? - lose weight, exercise and cut down on salt. I hope to make gradual lifestyle changes that can stick.
