B/P update

Good Morning Beautiful People 

Yes I suppose you could be forgiven for thinking 'what is going on with the fuel company?'

Sorry for the confusion.....I am talking about my high blood pressure drama (B/P) 😉
well actually the lack of it....
Yes would you believe after being told by several health representatives that I have high B/P and couldnt go in the gym ( 😢) until I had seen my doctor, I have now been given the all clear

I had my B/P monitored for 24 hrs...which involved wearing a monitor for 24 hrs including sleeping with it (😒) but all worth it...my readings were then printed out and 

HEY PRESTO....my blood presure is normal....

( and that probably the only thing NORMAL about me 😘)

with 49 readings ranging from 137/69 - 97/63 ( which was when I was sleeping )

giving an average of 135/85 day and 120/70 evening

Another thumbs up for my yoga and body balance ...

(I'm not saying for one minute that it will cure everyones high B/P ..but it will certainly make you the BEST YOU  😃 )

Have a fab day......

Now that is amazing

Good afternoon   😃

So its the weekend...and got to say this week has fled by..

I swear if I would of blinked I would of missed it... ( but people say as you get older times goes quicker !!! on that note ... there's nothing we can do about it so enjoy and make the best of it😉)

 So it has been quite an eventful week for me..

6 days at the gym..doing either body balance or yoga 😊 , in concession  ..now I must say thats new for me

had annual check up at GP... told me I have high blood pressure..

yep thats new for me too...

And apparently  I am now nearly 5ft 3inches ( nearly 1.61544 metres)...and thats definitely new for me   ( because Ive always been 5ft 2 !!!! )

And apparently its the yoga thats done it 😉 ( hope thats not the cause of the high B/P  😕) lol

And I'm damn happy about that ( no, not that its the yoga...the fact that I'm taller!!! yes I know its only half an inch...but its half an inch taller..NOT shorter...😊🙌)

So by the end of the year I should be 5ft 4   right? 😜

I always wished I was taller....

So onwards and upwards as they say 😗

Body balance and body jam...Body exhausted

Good morning

So I am feeling motivated at the moment ( ok..and a little bit mad )

I have done classes every day this week and its fair to say I feel exhausted  ( in a good way..if thats possible )

one particular day....I had a fab body balance class

...and I thought ( ambitious little so and so...) that I could do the body jam which was running immediately after!!!!

Well...I have never done body jam before ...and it is quite fast...with lots of left and rights..and arms and legs!!!! 

Nothing wrong with that...I hear you say...

BUT anybody who knows me ..knows that I am going to struggle!!!!

dont know my right from left...co-ordination not fab..never done it before....already exhausted!!!

yep..u getting the picture.....

It was a disaster...lol

But ..I will try it again...once I've recovered!!!!

No pain ..no gain...right?

And this is the 5th day in succession that I have got to the gym!...

And I am feeling very motivated....

So must fly... Body balance awaits.....

What ever you're doing...have a fab one 

And remember

be the best you can...

old peoples care homes

so yes I am still very shocked at some of the scenes that i saw in my old job!!!
And yes there is a constant reminder with all the media attention at the moment about the state of our social services... 
the dire state of our NHS ...
which is having a profound affect on our sick and aged population
( and yes this is in the Uk !!! )
So all the money that our poor old folk ploughed into the system over the last 60/70 and 80 years has already been spent!!!  daylight robbery I'd call it and nobody to answer the crime!!!
which brings me back to my blog.....
how some ( and I know that it is NOT right across the board) of our old folk are living 
the care homes that some live in are awful to say the least, smelly, cold, boring ( and I mean by that , no stimulation, ) old people sat there staring in to space, sad, rocking, shouting for help, or just a little conversation... food down there clothes
and believe me this is just the tip of the iceberg...and a very brief description of reality...
And this is just what I witnessed...so so sad
       Dont get me wrong I Know this is not true of all care homes...believe when I say...that i went into some really lovly ones
Tables beautifully laid for lunch.....Hairdressers at the ready...our old folk doing jigsaws and playing games... smiling faces....clean sweet smelling homes....
I am not an expert and would hate to estimate which is more probable in the uk...( but I have a good idea!!!! )
But shouldnt all our old folk be treated to a nice care home with all these luxuries...
And no I dont have the answer..I wish I did....I wish I could just wave the magic wand        
And every credit to the fantastic staff...because where would our old folk be without them...and most of the staff I met in my job were lovly caring individuals 

I live in hope that one day all our care homes will be amazing places for our old folk... they deserve it

March is marching in!!!

Wow...dont know bout you, but I cant believe its march already

Its seems like we've only just took the xmas Decs down!!!

so look on the bright side

   

   

  

Have a beautiful day
