Hi all.
In an effort to focus my weightloss goals, I started training for my third marathon - admittedly my last one was 10 years ago - and guess what? My body said no. The doc said my blood pressure is off the chart and we are still fiddling with regulating that. Regardless, now I have a new motivation for losing the weight which I thought would make it easier, but hasn't.
Doctor's orders that I'm still on restriction from cardio exercises due to the high blood pressure and this ex-runner feels a bit stumped as how to go about exercising without disturbing my heart too much. I hear ironing (horror or horrors) is a good calorie burner!
This is [officially] the second day of my program and while I'm not hungry at all, I'm literally gobsmacked at how bady I want to put just about anything into my mouth. I'm left with the suspicion that I'm afraid to go hungry. I'm worried that if I don't eat something, there is some dread that I might feel weak or need to eat in an emergency situation. Has anyone else had this feeling? Talk about a mind game!
I'm glad to find this site. I've been browsing on and off all day and it really warms my heart how much people share and care. I look forward to contributing.
