Medical Check-up

I had my Cardiology appointment yesterday, and it was to determine whether I was healthy enough to resume my duties. It seems that I was not. All I could make out from the medical gibberish were to put me on the Heart Failure Team. What does that mean? I do not think my heart is failing, I guess. My wife has different opinions, mostly about atypical heart diseases. I guess I will have to follow through on this.

On a different note, I had my weight taken. This would be a medical scale that is proven to be as accurate as any scales go. So, what has cycling done for me since I started two and a half months ago? I emptied my pockets and stepped up to the scale. Lo and behold, I weighed in at 87.7 kg. That is and approximate drop of 8 kilos (7.3 actually) from my first weigh in at 95 kilos in the late week of December last year. I am hoping the rate I am losing weight will continue progressively and consistently. 2 kilos a month is my target and anything more is a bonus. All I wanted was to lose 12 kilos by June (when MRS weighs me in again) and be at my ideal weight of 70 kilos by my birthday. Hope it comes true.

I have several more doctor's appointments in April, will see what happens then...
