improve my health

Yesterday I went to the blood center to try to give blood. I was getting calls every few weeks asking me to come in, so I did finally.
They took my blood pressure, and get this, it as TOO LOW. It was 86 over 50. I said, that can’t be right. Try this other arm. So she did and it was even lower that time. So, she rejected me to donate! She said I would probably pass out if they drew my blood with my blood pressure so low.
I came home and looked online to check out possible causes of low blood pressure. Generally it’s a good thing to have low blood pressure as opposed to high. I think I was probably just dehydrated.
So now I must make more of an effort to stay hydrated. My sister told me to eat more salt, too. So that’s cool, I can go eat some chips!

Status check on this goal:

Exercising in the morning before work, check. Elliptical trainer.

Eating salad every day, check.

Taking a multivitamin and calcium every day, check. With orange juice. Vitamin C. check.

It’s been a while since I’ve even had a cold. So maybe it is helping.

Today I did nothing healthy.
I got up too early for a weekend and then I drank coffee and ate banana bread. That’s about it.
NOT healthy. :)

I am so bored today and trying to keep my eyes open at work is a real challenge. I keep thinking about food food food. It is annoying. I have nothing healthy to snack on. And I need to wake up!!!!

Today I did 30 minutes on the elliptical trainer. I need to get motivated again about exercise. In a few more months it will be bikini weather!

I ate cheesecake today for the second time in two weeks. Well, a week. Last Friday, and again today.
I NEED TO STAY AWAY FROM THE CHEESECAKE!

I am counting calories and trying to get more exercise. Today for lunch I’m having celery sticks, butternut squash soup, and the evil cornbread. YUM YUM

It seems like I’ve been sick all winter long. This must stop.
I started taking vitamins and I’ve got to do a better job getting enough sleep every night and continuing to exercise enough to reduce my stress level. Also I have to eat better!!!! More veggies please!
