The beginning-Monday August 24th, 2009

I started this blog as I begin a new phase of my life. I'm 53 years old and the ravages of middle age are starting to affect me. I have been told I have high blood pressure. I am trying on my own to get it down so I don't have to go on medication. My mother is presently in the hospital because of multiple medical complications resulting from a non-active lifestyle. She had to have a leg amputed due to complications from diabetes and is suffering from COPD. She has been in three hospitals since May and is now in St. Michael's in Toronto. She will never be able to handle living on her own again and will have to go into long term complex chronic care.
I hope to avoid some of her mistakes by getting my butt in gear and going to the gym. I am also revising my nutritional lifestyle. I am even considering taking the Nutrition and Health program at Ryerson next year. Hear goes. I'll be limping off to the gym this afternoon.
