Not So Shabby

Being back on the wagon is going pretty well so far. I'm feeling pretty proud of myself for keeping on track. Especially considering my belly is telling me

EAT ALL THE THINGS!!! 

And I have resisted that urge. Very well, I think. A wee bit of exercise has also happened. I haven't had another long walk with Mom, but that shall for sure happen again. It felt good to walk that much. 

I figure the massive urges to consume an entire Taco Bell franchise will ebb, and things will go smoothly from there on out. Waiting patiently for that day.... 

Back on the Wagon!!

So, after being off the wagon for a very, very long time, I'm back on the health train. Which is for the best, considering the diagnosis I received at the doctor today. Hypertension. That's right, I'm on blood pressure meds at 25.

I think this is the real kick in the butt that I need to actually get myself motivated and doing the right things. Which will be to cut out eating out, first and foremost. After that, it's all about portion control and making healthier choices. Which I can do. I know I can.

I'm also going to have to do some exercising. Which I started on tonight! I had a lovely walk with Mom across the bridge and into downtown. Just the bridge itself is a mile, so I did a little over 2 miles. It felt good. Getting up off my lazy ass is going to be good for me.

All of this, paired with the new Activity Director job....I think things are going to be alright. Despite the shitty diagnosis!
