I had my blood pressure checked this morning. It's still on the high side (130/90 although sitting in the waiting room with lots of coughing and sneezing must raise it a little) but is better than it's been for a long time. Also I'm only 500g heavier than I was 6 months ago (I was wearing boots and a sweater this morning!). Previously my weight has been sneaking upwards each time and my blood pressure's been around the 145 mark. Something's doing me a lot of good and I think I know what it is

I've actually started looking in the mirror and liking what I see - I take more care in deciding what to wear rather than grabbing the first thing that fits. We're half way to a new life and it's looking good.
