Midlife crisis?

The Perindopril has got the BP down to 159/89 but the doc's still not happy and has perscribed Amlodipine too. The diet has resulted in a 2 Kg loss of weight over the last 6 weeks, I'm down to 90Kg from a starting point of 92 Kg on the 4th Sept. I can't eat any less food so I'll have to start exercising again!

Have sent email to various people to test the water re: interest in Welsh 3000s Challenge. Hopefully this will encourage me to get fit again. Started by doing Moel Eilio on Saturday, 1hr 5 min from car park to summit. Chicken Pot Noodle was consumed at summit with 2 cups of tea and a packet of fruit, nuts and seeds. Pot Noodle doesn't like being 'cooked' at altitude.
Optimus petrol/multifuel stove worked flawlessly as usual.

Tried to join Sky Gym, was told that it shuts on the 6th for 2 months for refurbishment. Outstanding timing.

Purchased grapes and apples from Tesco for night shift nibbles. Could have bought 20 donuts, a custard slice and a choclotate eclair for the same price.

Legs knackered after weekend's little walk, I'm walking like a John Wayne immitator who's shat his pants.

    As for a pot noodle, there are better choices, cheese and piccilli for one.
