My greatest achievement was a much needed weight loss, brought about by diet and exercise changes. At my last annual check-up my BMI was way too high and I was warned that I was in danger of becoming Type 2 diabetic, so decided to do something about it - BMI's down, blood pressure's down. hurray!
What have been your greatest achievements and failures?
Congratulations, you'll find keeping a healthy BMI, etc., should hopefully prevent excessive wear on your bone joints and hopefully avoid unneccessary medication or op, later.
Threat of Covid has assisted many to give up smoking too!
My failure was to go out in my back garden several days ago in just my bed shorts and sleeveless top on a misty early am ...
I thought I'd said goodbye to the last of my mysterious rash, blotches, swellings, spots, itching to my body and burning stinging agony inside my legs, the final two areas were just about disappearing, after several months of suffering!
However, I was attacked by a group of blood sucking type insects, whilst pulling a long bramble from the hedge speading to the lawn, I brushed them off with my hands and showered. Started to swell up.
By yesterday I felt sick and went to bed early, but by this morning the redness and infection looked very serious to both my legs and my wrist to elbow
Doctor has put on Antibiotics and said seek urgent help by 111 if infection spreads further.
My gardening gloves protected my hands from thorns, but shorts & sleeveless top not a good thing!
