I totally miss exercising

[naeljun]

I am getting frumpy, lumpy, tired, lazy, fatter, antsy...I miss exercise. I think I am going to try to walk on my treadmill for a little bit tonight and not worry about the speed or mileage and just get something in.

I am having issues with my heart right now and we don't t know what it is but every time my heart rate increases, I get really dizzy and almost pass out. It happens if I get up too quickly from sitting down too.

Did they check your blood pressure?

You'll feel so much better once you start moving again! I went back last night to kickboxing after being out for about 2 weeks since I was sick. It was awesome!! I feel like a new person

I do have high blood pressure. I'm on medication for it. It started when I was pregnant with DD and never went back down to 100% normal. Always been a little on the high side.

I get the monitor on Friday actually.

Thanks MCC. I actually went yesterday for it and then they told me I couldn't shower for 24 hours so I had to rescheduled for Friday morning. I will get before I go to work.

I am like these too and it's because my blood pressure is significantly different when Im sitting than when Im standing up.

A great tip is to put your chin near your chest as you are standing up so you avoid the "rush". It works like a charm!
