Walking


Maybe if I write it down, put it out there, I will actually do it. We're all aware that my goal this year is to get off the blood pressure medications. I have this goal for a number of reasons, some personal, some not so much, but all relevant.

I've been to the doctor entirely too many times in the last year for my blood pressure and other related issues. I believe it's time for the next step.
I've joined the American Heart Association's Start! program. It's a free program that puts together weekly walking regimens for you based off some questions, which for me had a sobering effect.

I realize I need to be a participant in my health going forward. The bright side is that this'll help with not only my blood pressure and weight, but my anxiety too. Go figure. I bet my health insurance company is jumping for joy about now!

I'll keep you updated on how the walking goes.
