I ain't dead yet....

Ok, so I'm a real shit blogger as of late. I had finals. Forgive me. (of course I passed. who do you think you're talking to?) Anyway, my mom got onto me today about not keeping up the blog, and she is right. I need to catch you guys up on my adventure. So far I am down about 14 pounds. I have lowered my sodium intake and significantly lowered my blood pressure. Yay me! Now my focus is going to be on maintaining the low sodium and also losing more weight. You know, lower calories, less fat, more exercise. Lately the weather here has been hotter than the 10th level of hell, so I am working out indoors. I like that. Air conditioning rocks! I am starting slow and working my way up to the fast paced stuff. I feel good right now, with my weight loss and improving health. I am also impressed with myself. My recent stress over finals did not result in a massive gain, as it has in the past. Also, I attended my family reunion today and got comments on my weight loss! I even managed to skip the dessert table entirely! That is a first for me! I didn't even eat a whole plate of food. I ate about half, and felt full. No more gorging myself like I used to. I really felt good today. Not great, but good. For now I am satisfied with good. Great will come when I am under the 200 mark. Until then, I am keeping with my new regimen and I am reaping the benefits! Sorry I was absent for a spell. I am back now and ready to tackle this weight thing! Come on, let's get to it! I survived my family reunion. I can do anything! LOL!
