I've been quite negligent about blogging. I didn't feel like I had anything of value to say for so long. But I've made some big changes in my life in the last 3 months or so and I feel like taking to the keyboard again. So a little recap about what's been going on.
Well, I've spent the last 6 months or so working on my house. I'm making a little progress here and there. I need to re-motivate myself so I can get a few more major projects done. I just haven't been in a very big hurry lately. I'll get to them when I get to them.
I finally got caught up on all of my bills and have put myself on a budget. I was so sick of that constant feeling of dread. The crappy feeling of ignoring phone calls because it might be someone calling to say my payment was late, etc. So now I just have to stick to my budget and learn to live within or below my means!
I went to the doctor Monday. I'm mostly healthy. All of my lab work came back fine and dandy. But my blood pressure was high enough she wanted to put me on medication. I asked her to give me 3 months to make some changes. If at that point my BP was still high I would willingly go on the meds. So that brings us to today.
Right now I'm just focusing on getting my ass fit! I took some before pictures in the mirror last night. I DID NOT LIKE what I saw. I'm lumpy, bumpy, jiggly and wiggly. I'm not aiming to be a size two or anything, but I would like to be able to wear shorts when it's 110 degrees in my office. And not have to worry if a shirt has at least 3/4 sleeves or is wearable under a cardigan. So I have 125 pounds to lose. Once I lose that I'll still be considered overweight, but I'll be content there. It should put me in about a size 12/14. That's skinny enough for me!
