Six Things About Me Tag

I was tagged by the lovely @seashellies Thank you kindly. 1. I tried to join the British Army Reserve as a medic but I was found to be unfit for military service due to high blood pressure which sucks the big one as I live a very healthy lifestyle (I did at the time anyway). 2. I left a good career in banking to go and work as an anaesthetic assistant because I wanted to do more to help people. 3. I'm colour blind. 4. My wife and I got engaged after 3 months together. We are still a couple 17 years later. 5. Before we had kids my wife and I did a fair bit of travelling but I wish we'd done more. 6. I used to be a Drum and Bass Dj in my spare time.

So my blood pressure is better but it's still on the high side of normal which is a little irritating. I don't drink or smoke anymore and although my diet couldn't be described as perfect, it's far from a disaster. I used to exercise all the time but changes in my work patterns (and a little bitterness at not getting in the army) meant I had zero inclination. But I'm trying really hard to turn that around. In a last attempt to get my stress levels down I'm going to start journaling 15 minutes everyday. I don't know how I'm going to get on. I consider myself to be fairly mentally disciplined but I've never tried anything like this before. Maybe I'll open with a joke? Wish me luck.
