Upstate South Carolina

This is the first day of the new exercise regimen of walking twice a day for 30 minutes. Today I had a doctors appointment for severe headaches (migraines) that have been fierce for about 3 weeks now. The usual test’s were done with a shocking discovery, yes it is high blood pressure. Now I am one who does not eat salt but loves pepper so when did this happen? It could be just that this is a hereditary condition because just about every adult on my mothers side have the same including Thyroid problems (which I was also checked for).

Pills are not something I like to take if I can help it so I have 30 days to try alternative methods such as diet and exercise. The thought of also losing the extra 30 pounds I have put on is also a plus. Food however does not seem to taste the same without all the butter, grease and fat. Plain rise with boiled chicken and sauteed veggies was my supper tonight and without all the good stuff, there was really no taste at all, just BLAH.

Oh well, I will have to get used to it and so will my family because if I can’t eat it, it will not be in this house. Have a great afternoon today everyone.
