Well, I passed my medical tests without even studying...it seems that my blood pressure and heart are ok for my age, risk levels are low, no signs of cardio disease....Yes!
So what was wrong with me.... most likely, dehydration and stress.... Anxiety is a strange little bugger....
Steps to take are starting a low sodium diet and facing situations and overcoming them.....
On the DASH diet, which I started a month ago, I have lost 7 pounds, accompanying this with thirty minutes of serious walking. I can't run, cause my right ankle is the size of a tennis ball from old soccer injuries, and I hate treadmills and rotary bikes are boring. Besides the walking gets all the muscles up to speed.
And the new school year is on, baby.....I have a generally good bunch of special ed kids this year, with true educational needs....not like the thugs I had last year....but even though it's still only the first week, the sense I get so far is that these kids will be a lot of fun.
Too hot to play any golf in the Mississippi Valley, ....even when temps are in the high 70's the humidity can be at 95, and that is at 7:30 in the evening.....
I long for the fall...I'll be out on the links then..........
