"Born To Hand Jive" (GREASE)

In recent weeks, I've experienced a health change. After passing my routine physical exam in November with excellent results, I experienced a lot of discomfort with dizziness and loss of balance in late December through early January. It happened after a brief illness that caused me more mental anguish than actual physical. I went back to the doctor and there was a surprise when my blood pressure had risen. It was at a very severe level, and I started on medication to lower it. I've had family history of blood pressure and diabetes but I was always more concerned about getting diabetes than actually having high blood pressure. I mean I was not stressed or totally physically worthless, but I kept experiencing dizziness that interrupted a normal day and it went on for weeks before we got it under control. So far, the medication has been working and I haven't had any recurrence of those dizziness days. But it was also a realization that I'm getting older and I needed to start monitoring my health a little bit more. Not a drastic change but minor adjustments that would help me out in the long run. I really only had volleyball as my major sport, what other sport could I try. In the diet area, I started slowly and just cut back in my portions and being mindful of what I actually eat. I have terrible eating habits especially for someone who usually gets home at 11:30pm and has dinner, it was definitely a time to change. But a friend told me that it must be proceeded with caution, not too fast. So besides watching my diet, I found another sport (well, sort of)--taking dance classes which I totally love. I've only taken a few hip-hop and jazz dance classes but it reminded me how much I loved to dance. It's another way to help me out as I try to figure out this blood pressure situation. Volleyball may let me get out the stress by hitting on that ball, but it's the dance class that allows me to be expressive and free.
