I just got back from the dr and today my blood pressure was normal. So weird! Last week: 156/71 with a pulse of 87 (high!!!) This week: 136/67 with a pulse of 66 (normal) I think I’m going back next week to see what it shows then, because it seems weird that it was so [...]

After spending several days processing everything, I am finally ready to let you guys in on what’s been going on with me. I debated whether or not to include this information on the blog, because I know that everyone is going to have their own opinions, and while I value hearing others’ views, I really [...]

Every once on a while something happens that shakes up your world and makes you look at your life completely differently. Yesterday that happened to me.

Today is Wednesday – weigh-in day. Nothing new; I’ve been doing this for so long I could do it with my eyes closed. And today I guess that’s the only way it would’ve happened. I woke up late, was flying around the house to make sure I got to work on time for morning [...]

Since I haven’t been very good about working out much lately I thought this post would be a bit more interesting if I told you what I’ve decided to do about this lack of enthusiasm regarding fitness I’ve been experiencing. I’ve been really busy at work these past two weeks, and because of that I [...]
