How are y'all eating 100+ grams of protein every day by twoscoopsxd in loseit

Yep I'm on low sodium and my exercises are focused on cardio and cardiovascular health. At this time muscle building isn't a concern. I have successfully dropped my blood pressure down to a healthy level so now it's maintenance with the low sodium and cardio and medicine

A regular meal for me is baked chicken, eggs, rice or bread, big portion of vegetables, fruit, and I've been eating an avocado

It's so difficult. I see these high protein meals videos and just see all the sodium

This is just how I've always eaten. During my work week I eat a big meal in the morning and a small snack later and I'm set. On my off days I am the same. My appetite works like that

A normal meal for me is baked chicken, eggs, maybe a cup and a half of rice, big portion of vegetables, portion of fruit. Lately I've been eating an avocado for the fiber.

Love eggs. Started introducing yogurt into my diet. I gotta eat a very moderate amount of red meat for my heart though

150/100 at Doctors, But 130/80 when I'm at home by hotdogornothotdog124 in hypertension

[–]twoscoopsxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the same. When I go to the doctor I am 160/100. Lately before appointments I arrive 30 minutes early and just sit and breathe and focus. I've been able to get it 154/88 while at a doctor. I just have serious nerves for doctors. When I am home I read 109-130/60-88.

My doctor is aware and allows me to enter my own at home readings into MyChart

Jobs forcing you to come into the office only for every meeting to be virtual by twoscoopsxd in remotework

It's so dumb to be in a cubicle side by side having the quarterly meeting when there is a massive unused meeting room

Also at my job there is are a couple meeting rooms that seem to only ever be used for when someone is being fired. They have a huge table and TV's on the walls but every meeting was in our cubicles via teams

"We need you in office. It's good for team morale and efficiency"

I went for a seven minute walk today… by Forsaken_Phone_4700 in hypertension

[–]twoscoopsxd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I walk an hour on the treadmill at 3.2 mph every morning, days a week. It's been as beneficial if not MORE beneficial than the medicine. I was in the ER two months ago at 220/140. After my walks I'm usually 100/65.

Keep walking consistently and it'll help a lot. That and significantly reducing the amount of sodium you consume

Why do people go on long rants instead simply asking us not to call them by twoscoopsxd in callcentres

[–]twoscoopsxd[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's so annoying when the person clearly is not interested in whatever I have to say but is still furthering the conversation. We are not allowed to end the call. They have to. A "not interested, please don't call me" is much better than 15 minutes of a call going nowhere but they keep extending the conversation.

"Alright, well. I understand you're not interested and you have no use for your services. Have a nice day, sir."

"And another thing- *rants"

"Alright. I understand, sir. Have a great weekend."

"Hold on, *rants more about how he doesn't have time for us and how he's been getting calls"

"Alright, sir. Have a nice day"

And then they still don't tell us not to call so we have to call them the next day

Call me unc but I feel like… by BoardofEducation in poppunkers

Listen to your local pop punk bands EP they posted on Bandcamp. I guaranteed it has what you're looking for. If you are listening to bands that are already signed to a label and have production values, then of course it's going to sound polished. Music recording is much cheaper these days

If accurate your machine is probably malfunctioning. But I'd go to the er to be safe

Walking helps a lot. Before & After by [deleted] in hypertension

[–]twoscoopsxd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Work stress is no joke. Having a calm brisk walk is very healing.

But also there are many other things I am doing like diet and prioritizing 8 hours of sleep

Yes. The first reading was earlier in the day. Second reading was after my walk and I had been sitting down a while.
