Health Alert!

I went to the doctor this morning for my physical and learned that my blood pressure is a tad high. The nurse said it's not high enough to be concerned about but I have to keep my eye on it. I go back next week for some blood work and I'm hoping that comes back normal. I have to admit that I was a little freaked out about it but I've decided to use it for good instead of evil.



I've decided that it's really time to stop goofing off. I tend to put myself last when it comes to everything but I'm not going to do that anymore. Whatever needs to be taken care of will still be there 30 minutes later when I'm done working out, unless it's an emergency situation. If I'm sick or dead, I won't be able to care of anyone. So, I'm going to take whatever steps are required to get myself healthy!

Going to the doctor isn't something many people look forward to doing but, in this case, I'm changing my mindset about that, too. My doctor is there to help me become healthy by telling me what's wrong and how I can fix it. I already know what's wrong - I'm fat, duh! But, I don't know how severe it really is until my doctor tells me what my levels are.

Too much runs in my family for me to be this big. I simply can't afford to be this size and I'm not going to ever be this size again. From this point forward, there's no more "I don't feel like working out" or "This piece of candy won't hurt me". No way! I'm not saying I'm going to deny myself but I'm not going to give in so easily anymore.

With that said, here's to getting healthy and finding my happy place!
