Today is exactly 3 months ago from when I started this blog and with other stuff going on on the health front it is time for a reflection.
This morning I weighed in at 252.6 and had a BP of 141/93. Obviously the BP isn't where you would want it but it beats the hell out of yesterdays number of 141/100 and then at the doctors office where it was 170/110 and they were very concerned (for obvious reason). As a result of this plus my previously high readings they are putting me on BP medicine, one called Diovan (Valsartan). I have long said that I don't want to be on medicine but I have agreed to be on this because I guess it is better now than after something worse happens and I need more significant meds. That is the dreariness that is this morning.
On the good side though, we are 3 months later and 17.4 pounds lighter. I have to get even more serious about losing weight though and more importantly need to the BP down. I think these 2 things are related though. Goals are nice to have but general one's just don't really do anything for anyone. So I am setting a firm goal of by the end of July, another 3 months away I will weigh 235. That is the same amount of loss as the previous 3 months so I know I can do it, plus I have even more incentive now.

254.8 this morning, not gaining, not losing, still high BP, going to the Doc tomorrow and probably going to get on BP medicine, not what I want to do but if I can't get it down maybe it is the right thing. Hopefully when I lose some weight I won't need it. All the more inspiration to lose weight.

255.0 this morning and I ate pretty good yesterday. I'm starting to think the only way to lose is exercise, diet isn't working, only thing a diet is for is to prevent going up, not to help going down.
