Updates and a new direction.

Ok so here goes, things haven't been good in a while something I like to hide away even though I keep saying I want to be more open about it. So this is another fresh start, I had a routine GP appointment Monday to check on my asthma. All is going ok at the moment they are pleased with everything at the moment, my current medication seems to be working and my peak flow is returning to "good for me" my chest sounded OK! And my BP was good so all happy. But I was told I need to me put my efforts in, I need to do more exercise and loose some weight.

Both of these things are difficult for me, so I've decided my new way forward is my blog, like a name and shame type process, if I had to post what I'm doing then theres the motivation to do it not to cheat, I talked with gp about struggling with exercise , I've been told I have to monitor and learn to difference between breathlessness from my asthma and what could be breathlessness from basically being unfit, which I felt a bit harsh but hey! I his basic advise was to start small and simple and to work upwards in intensity and duration. With the more you do (and try) the easier it will become. 

So here's to the start of a new challenge and plenty of blogging of my eating and exercise, any pointers , motivation & telling off more than welcome !!
