I went to donate blood and during the pre screen my Red Cross tech checked my blood pressure. Afterwards, he sat back in his chair, a puzzled look on his face, and put the stethoscope on his neck. He then asked me if I was a runner or a swimmer! Turns out my blood pressure was too low. He rechecked and I was all good, but it felt amazing for that to be immediately where his mind went. A moderate pace walk was pretty arduous at my heaviest weight - though I’m still not a runner by any means.
I’m still overweight, but out of obesity and edging ever closer to healthy weight! I use CICO exclusively for weight loss, but I do also do daily cardio (25 minute treadmill power walk) to keep my depression and back pain under control. MyFitnessPal is my app of choice, but only really because it knows all my food at this point, lol. I would otherwise probably use Loseit or Fooducate.
It’s taken 2.5 years, with plenty of highs and lows, but I’m down 31lbs, just 10lbs from my goal weight! Hoping to get there this spring and embrace maintenance over the summer.
