The treadmill has been chugging along carrying on its belt its unwilling passengers. Actually I am the most unwilling to step on it. Kushagra is always ready to jump on the conveyor belt and start running on it. Some days back he ran on it with its speed set to 14 kmph. He ran for almost 2 minutes. WOW!
Anyways, now that I have settled in some kind of routine, the diet and the exercise regimen are not that bad. I have already lost some weight. Yesterday I noticed that I have also lost some inches. A t-shirt that was too tight for me suddenly fitted me to a T. With the excessive weight gone and the muscles getting the exercise they sorely needed, I feel like a new man. I can now hop, skip and jump.
I didn't lose weight this week. That is the saddest part of it. I will keep on running and jogging. Perhaps now the actual battle begins.
My high blood pressure has come down mostly but I still see readings beyond 140. On monday 14th, at around 7 PM, I got the reading of 147 by 86. That explained why I was feeling irritated and angry. On Tuesday 15th, I took the reading at the same time and I found the reading to be 126 by 82. I have to find a way to keep the blood pressure from fluctuating so much. I have now started to drink lemon juice in the morning, especially after taking bath. I have been told that it will be helpful. I don't want to take drugs but I don't want the blood pressure to keep fluctuating.
I have almost stopped taking sugar in my food. The tea that tasted so tasteless last week now doesn't taste so bad. I still get up every night at around 1 AM. From the net, I learnt that the liver makes me get up. It is busy breaking its cell to generate sugar for me. That factoid has made me anxious. Is my diet plan going to hurt my liver?
