Week 2 ~

Monday, July 19, 2010
I have one week of success under my belt towards a healthy life style and better me! I feel a need to have a safe place to ramble about my daily nuances of this journey. My hope is I will not go it alone, but others will find me and join in.

I'm Here

Forgot to weigh on Saturday until after I had had my coffee and nibbled. Weighed on Sunday and I was up. No surprise. It wasn't terrible, and I was already sliding back into better choices. As of today, I still have not gone to the grocery store since before I got sick, so we are literally down to condiments. The fridge is so empty, I have wiped down the shelves! I'm making a grocery run this evening when I take my son to work. This has to go better when I have choices. As it is, I've nibbled in search of what it is I'm hungry for, when all I really want if a full meal. Fruits and vegetables have not been high on my list for 2 weeks. I did go get my blood pressure checked today. I hadn't had it checked since I was in the doctor's office 2 weeks ago, and it was 180/110 then. Today, I am proud to say, it was.....drum roll please....120/78. That alone is incentive to not give up on beating my odds. I already have.
Exciting news.....we got a hot tub! We had talked about it for some time, looked at them a while, and finally picked one. It was delivered day before yesterday. It took 24 hours to heat the water to 104 degrees, but as of last night at 9pm, it's juuuuuuuuust right. We put it under the existing deck so we can use it in any weather, and we have a 180 degree view side to side of sky and mountains. It was clear and twinkly out last night. For people who never go anywhere or do anything, this is a HUGE treat!!
