Well I went this morning for a comprehensive physical. My doctor was adamant that I get one. I didn't put up much of a fight on it either.
One thing I know is I need to do something about my weight. I'm 5-9 and 215 lbs. I was down to 195 this past winter and while we were living in the UK I was typically around 205. I lost nearly 20 lbs in the 2 years we lived there but the weight has been slowly coming back on since we moved back last December.
So the physical went well and my doctor concluded I was in pretty good shape. The problem area is blood pressure. They measured several times and it consistently was 130 to 140 over 100. That lower number has been rising this year and that's troubling. So my doctor pressed me about weight and exercise.
This all brings me to changes in me physically. I've not really made any because I have focused so much on the emotional and mental changes. After today that's going to change. I want to be here for the long haul not only for myself but my wife and my children. So beginning today I will restart my walking program. It helped me shed an additional 10 lbs last winter and I know if I stick with it it'll do wonders again. Second is changing my diet. I've fallen somewhat off the bandwagon here and need to get back on it.
