| I had my BP taken a few months back and it registered 198/130. The nurse was shocked and wondered why I was still alive. I started to take a good look in the mirror and stepped on the scale and realized I was at an all time high (246 lbs @ height of 5'11"). At that point I kicked myself in the ass and knew I had to take control of my life or I wouldn't be around to enjoy my family. That was in August and I have gotten my weight down to 210lbs. and my BP to 130/100. I know I still have a ways to go (hopefully another 15 lbs), but I feel better and will continue the battle. I hope that other blogs that I have read, that each will find the strength to make it to their goal. I found writing this has given me a reason to keep going and hopefully my next writing I will be able to report more success |
