Yesterday, I had a follow up appointment with my primary care physician. Not surprisingly, my blood pressure over the past five months had been through the roof. Seriously...one reading was so high I wondered how I was still alive. Anyway, with the help of one medication, a much more peaceful frame of mind, and my life becoming much less worrisome, my blood pressure appears to be back to normal.
Due to current circumstances I have an immense amount of time on my hands now. For the past month, the alone time has been fine...and I have been keeping myself busy doing things I enjoy...reading, scrapping, crafting, and photography. I have every intention of keeping up with those things but the truth is...I need to get out and "rejoin" civilization. It's not like I have been a hermit but for someone who is used to being out and busy everyday, this being at home thing is just weird. Anyway, I have been coming up with ideas to get me out of the house. After my doctor's appointment yesterday, the most obvious place I should be visiting is the gym. Honestly, besides complete lack of motivation and no desire to go, I have no excuse anymore...or at least not the excuse of not having time. Coincidently, when I took Julia to the orthopedic surgeon, he recommended that she swim a few times a week to build her muscle tone and "tighten things up."
So we are joining the Y in Wareham. Middleboro would be more convenient but the pool is nicer in Wareham and there are other reasons I can't go the location right down the street...at least not yet. I am hoping that the candid discussion I had with the doctor yesterday, combined with the need for Julia to go will be just enough motivation to tip the scales in my favor, so to speak.
