Your Day (apart from gardening) - what took place?

@woo Thanks,will try and spend more time trying to look after myself more instead of everyone else

@"M" and @shiney i reckon it is since Mr Kandy has retired that my BP has gone up now that he is under my feet so to speak 24/7 365/366 days a year Perhaps I ought to encourage him to go back to work full time and then see if my BP comes down a bit

I very rarely drink apart from xmas/birthdays,my cholesterol is down to 3.4% VitaminD up to70 so only my glucose levels to sort out as they have gone up a tiny bit since the last time I was assessed

I didn't realise about those Garmin tracker thingies so will count them out.I do have a new BP monitor bought since the last time my BP had gone up.As there are strokes/heart attacks in the family I don't want to be like my dad and end up having a stroke and dieting aged 61 although my Dr will be desperate to get me on more pills

I did a work out on my trampet before Mr Kandy got up this morning but my first reading before we went walkabout (3miles)was high but my step count is very good at the moment

 

@Kandy I noticed your mention of 'Joint Problems' in your post.
Try taking 'Active-juice', it was recommended to me over ten years back and honestly, Ive never looked back!
You can get it on-line from Holland&Barret and others . . .

 

Cleaned the shed out on Sunday and have refiiled it today with timber to re vamp veg beds. Also put together new table saw ready to start making staging for greenhouse.

Now making toad in the hole for dinner.

Again, at different job sites, or in the office.

 

Been to watch my 3 year old daughters carol service. Now stuffing my face with mince pies and tea.

 

Wow @Kandy 9000 odd steps I have the same app and only do about 2000 need to up my game! The stress test is hilarious.. I'm normally at the "bad" end of the chart! Good luck with it

My 3 yr old son and neice done their first nativity on Tuesday, its so cute to see them all dressed up and being so brave in front of all the mams and dads enjoy your tea and pies!

 

Yes it must be very scary for them. I enjoyed the pies so much
, I need to get some more as I ate the whole box.

@David E Peacock i will have to have a check on that active juice because somethings you can't take if you are on certain meds as they might react so will research it more

@Linz that steps counter is one that is built into my phone so handy for counting the steps but have to remember to carry my phone everywhere and some of my clothes don't have pockets in if I try to wedge the phone in the waist it often falls down the inside of my leg and pops out near my foot

I saw a good fitness watch on the net but when Mr Kandy looked into it you still have to carry your phone with you so that is no good as I want to get away with having to carry too many gadgets around with me as that is more things to lose.I am going into hospital at some point next year depending how my assessment goes next week so won't be doing much walking for months so need to get things sorted before that day comes Glad that the nativity went off ok,I think they all look cute in their little outfits

Anyway did my 24 hour BP monitor stint so didn't sleep well that night and after having to go and see the nurse yesterday she has given me a 5mg tablet to try as my levels were slightly raised and as one of the lower readings was 139/59 she wants to trial me on the tablet but if the lifestyle changes and tablet makes my BP go too low and I start feeling dizzy etc then the nurse will decide what to do in the New Year when I go back to see her.

 

food shopping, organizing my ingredients for baking Christmas stuff tomorrow. laundry, supper thawing out, filling bird feeders, empty dishwasher.

 

Seen this and thought of @Scrungee

For 1p less you get 17 more kit kats.. of course I picked one up
