70Kel Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 So happy two WOOTS in one day, firstly I finally scored good form with DL & Squats something I have been working on with a trainer for the last four weeks (flexibility probs) & secondly I'm officially ceasing my blood pressure medication after 5 years, got the tick off my doctor today, yippee! Even the dr said this doesn't happen often! I'm so so happy:) 'Don't quit, two words, that's it' :-) Link to comment
vintageenvy Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Double WOOT for the win! It's incredibly impressive to be able to work yourself off BP Meds, and I am all in favor of workout as medicine versus putting more chemicals in your system.Keep up the fantastic work!

Agree fully with the chemical thingy, taken me just over 12 months to achieve this goal & I have a terrible family history re:heart disease so was doubly surprised when my dr was happy for me to cease them 'Don't quit, two words, that's it' :-) Link to comment
Cléo Xymore Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 hehe, I know I've congratulated you on this already, but I want to double that here. A year in the making = real dedication!

Librarian of Doom Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 That is so amazing! My grandma is on BP meds, and I know what an endless cycle that can be. Great work!!! Hobbit Ranger seeking balance (and cookies) Current Challenge Link to comment
70Kel Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 That is so amazing! My grandma is on BP meds, and I know what an endless cycle that can be. Great work!!!Thanks & yes it is hard to go off them, I was told originally that I would be on them for the rest of my life, not so now:) Also, I suppose I'm lucky to be young enough to knock this on the head, it would be harder if your older like your grandma. My mother & father are on them & mum still thinks that it is impossible to stop them as she has been told by the dr. But I'm slowly proving that wrong!
