On Saturday I woke up with a VERY red, hot left foot. I went to the walk-in centre and got antibiotics but as the afternoon went on it kept getting redder and hotter, spreading up my calf, despite my elevating it as instructed. So I went to A&E, they diagnosed it as a DVT which absolutely scared the hell out of me
They gave me heparin and referred me to the DVT clinic.
My leg was getting worse so I called NHS direct - short long story: Saw an on call doctor who sent me to MAU as she thought I had heart block on my ECG!!!! I didn't, but for a short while I went from being a lazy over weight person who thought it would never happen to me to being potentially a pretty sick lady :(
That was my wake up call, I am so grateful that I didn't have anything too serious BUT its made me see big time that I really need exercise in my life and I have to lose my weight all 5 stone 7lbs stone of it!!!!
So I have started my healthy eating lifestyle, I cant exercise yet because I have to rest my foot, but for two full days I haven't eaten a thing that isn't healthy, I have drunk loads of water and cooked tasty healthy food. So here goes, I weigh in on a Wednesday so don't expect much this week but I'm determined to stick with it.
Cant wait to start training!!!!!!
