Well it’s been a while since I blogged, no real reason, just never enough time these days.
Having been diagonised with a heart murmur a few weeks ago has made me think about what may have been if I was still sitting here at 109kgs, scary thoughts enter my head. My ECG and treadmill have come back normal but the echocardiogram of my heart shows a narrowing of the right valve where the blood exits the heart from. For now it’s just monitoring but the last few weeks have been a little scary. I still have questions for life going forward which will hopefully be answered when I visit the doctor on Thursday. I am guttered that I haven’t been able to run, not being able to train for the Auckland Quarter marathon has been a little hard. Before the murmur I wasn’t too phased but now, now that I haven’t been able to train for it, I’m guttered. I still plan to do it, just at a slower sedate pace now.
My goal of 68kgs is still eluding me but my food has been really good and I am proud of the choices I am now making, and the conscious decisions I make not to buy something like looks oh so tasty, or to accept something like a big box of chocolates that someone kindly gave me the other day at work. Well in saying that I do accept the gift, but then I give it away so I am not tempted.
