It's that time of year again. Every 6 months I have to see the nurse before I get my prescription for my next batch of contraceptive pills. I have my blood pressure taken and my weight measured. Apparently the pill makes you more at risk from DVT and other blood pressure related things, and the heavier you are the bigger the risk.
I'll admit I'm a little overweight. At a guess I'd say I average around 150lbs and I'm 5'3 tall. My blood pressure is fine though. I get plenty of exercise (I walk 3 miles a day and go to aerobics once a week) and I don't eat especially unhealthily. Despite that I know I will get a telling off from the nurse if my weight hasn't gone down since my last appointment, and I'm fairly sure it hasn't. I relaxed my eating habits over Christmas and I went to Texas straight after that. I'm back on my normal regieme now but losing weight seems to take so much longer than gaining it.
Ah well, best go get dressed and get this over with.
In other, more cracktastic news, check out this Rosenbaum vid I found in
herohunter's journal. It's insane!
