Living Healthy(2)
So, about the weight loss,https://yettysbits.com/living-healthy-1/ I had decided that I needed to lose weight and doctors also had told me that even though I did not look particularly fat,I had heavy bone mass ,I was overweight and I needed to lose some weight to get out of being pre-hypertensive.
I remember vividly my conversation with one of the doctorsππππ I had gone for routine check to keep an eye on my blood pressure and to also make enquiries about family planning. When I got in, the doctor was a young and pleasant looking man,after exchanging pleasantries and going through the usual questions,he then asked me to step on the scale,by then I was already chuckling, when I climbed the scale,he started muttering to himself,so I asked if there was a problem,he said,” this scale is broken,I need to get another one in here” ππ,I asked him why he thought the scale was broken,he said “it is showing over a hundred kilograms” ,I said yes,that is what I weigh,he looked me over and said “how?you do not look fatπππ” it still makes me chuckle till date,he had an incredulous look on his face for the rest of my consultation with himπ.
That doctor was probably the one that got me thinking about losing some weight,but I didn’t get to it till my birthday last year,I guess it hit me that I was gradually pushing mid thirties and I needed to be as healthy as I could be and we were also not considering having any more kids,so I decided there was no better time to start than now(mid last year) Moreover,I was feeling quite sluggish and heavy,so I got started by taking stock and writing out my ‘game plan’.
