The Quest to a Healthier Life Style

Not really :D
The quest to reduce my high BP has become my goal in life. In a way, I still struggling to achieve this.

I used to be a sprinter in school. I ran the 100, 200, 4*100 relay. Since I was in Primary school. When I reached form 4-5, I had to stop as my mom said I needed to concentrate on my studies instead and that was the most trying time for in my school years.

After that I never touched running again except for that one 1/2 semester in my sophomore year where I have had to take the stupid cross country class... almost died running hahahaa. Kidding. It was WINTERRRRR what did you expect?

I have been going to the gym at my office since nov/dec 2008. I was going off and on way before that but lack of motivation really didn't help either. You could just imagine the frequency. But I was more regular when the dr told me I had to start exercising or risk getting all the diseases which came with high BP.

I started off really slow, Just walking for 30 min and then on the cross trainer for another 30 min. As of Last month, I had tried to add some running. But i noticed I couldn't go beyond 10 mins running straight at the speed of 60-70 depending on which threadmill I am using. Yeah some of them are like broken.. sorta. My goal is to at least raise it up above 10 min. So far no luck yet. But I want to. I do that I m able to endure this and perservere and increase it bit by bit.

Wish me Luck and loads of motivation
