after the checkup

New here. Signed up after a routine physical came back with borderline blood pressure and cholesterol numbers.

90 minutes each way on the commute, every weekday, and that hasn’t exactly helped. The doctor’s note was enough to make me rethink a few habits.

Started walking more on weekends and watching the salt. Same hiking trails as before, just paying more attention now.

Glad to be here.

    same boat with the 90-min commute, salt was my first cut too

    ‘Borderline’ numbers do grab your attention fast, mine showed up during a work physical too, and it took the doctor’s note to actually change anything, walking felt manageable since I was already used to those same trails, just slower and more ‘mindful’ of it.

    Thanks for this, watching salt is familiar too

    thanks, I’ve walked weekends for 2 months too

    no commute here, I work from home and still sit until 6pm, kind of the same trap just different shape

    Borderline numbers too. Cut salt 2 months back, trails feel harder lately
