~My Minute Struggle~ August the 11 my doctor told me that I had isolated systolic hypertension. I wore a 24 hour blood pressure monitor to confirm. Sure enough ! I did have a form of hypertension. My doctor told me that I would be on medication within the year but was willing to let me try to bring it down on my own. So, I dusted off my bike and began riding. I incorporated PiYo and began to get stronger too. Now my body craves exercise ! I also started with reflexology treatments from Doreens Reflexology, acupuncture treatments from Josef Kubinec. In August my systolic was 173, now its 138 !!! Ive never had an issue with my weight. Being slight does not mean healthy ! Ive never been a smoker. The culprit ? STRESS ! My fitness journey thus far has only been three short months, but Im on my way and it is part of my lifestyle now.
