Day 52: still getting after it, and other updates!

It’s day 52 of my workout routine, I’m still getting after it – even if I’m not updating you fine folks on a daily basis.

Today’s workout was 45 minutes and consisted of 4.1 miles on the stationary bike over the course of 20 minutes. I also worked the bag with punches kicks and knees. I lifted some weights and did some push-ups.

I’m still nowhere near where I want to be as far as my weight goals go, but I have lowered my blood pressure significantly over the last few weeks.

When I first became aware of my consistently high blood pressure, it was February 6th and my blood pressure reading was 175/102 with a heart rate of 86. This morning March 15th, my blood pressure was 125/77 with a heart rate of 66.

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve done a stress test and an echocardiogram at my cardiologist office. I don’t really know anything about the results yet, but I do have a follow-up appointment next Thursday where I hope to get some details. Of course, I will share this information with all of you – be it good or bad. I’m hoping for good!
