Dreams of being the ultimate picture of health!

The other day we were measuring our blood pressure, pulse, and blood glucose levels at college. And well, needless to say, I am not exactly a picture of health!

I had a resting pulse of a whopping 119bpm (that's beats per minute for those non-medical folk out there) without the use of caffeine or any other stimulants, I wasn't in any overwhelming pain (just the usual headache because all that knowledge just doesn't have anywhere to go! *chortle*) so really there shouldn't be any excuse as to why my pulse was that high! 

I came to the conclusion that I was just really, really, really, incredibly unfit!

So today  I decided I'd do what any unhealthy and unfit person would do... I went to the fish 'n' chip shop, and bought myself a deep fried fish, and a jam wrap... then I felt overwhelmingly guilty and  went for a half hour run (if you could call it that!) and needless to say, it turned into disaster! 10 minutes of running I felt as though I was going to throw up pass out and surely die!

My run soon turned into a light jog... a walk....then a mere dawdle! So much for that idea!

I think I may have been just a tad over ambitious for my level of fitness! And not to mention I don't think eating a fish (not the healthy sort) and a jam wrap beforehand was such a great idea... actually come to think of it.... perhaps eating food from the fish 'n' chip shop isn't such a great idea at all!

A lesson learned today... and hard lesson to learn at that!

I'm pooped!!

p.s. Did you notice I labelled my blog this time? Oh I am so clever!!
