It was a good week overall. My running times are slow and it's hard for me. But I'm hoping that will be overcome in time.

My First Post

If anyone knows anything about me, they know I tend to get obsessed with diet and exercise. I do so for a few reasons in which anybody could guess.
#1- I care about how I look. (Just being honest. Vanity often gets the better of me.)
#2- I care about how I feel. Being healthy is important to me too.
#3- I actually enjoy exercising. Truly do.

One thing I found out this past week is that I have blood pressure that is ranked at stage 2 hypertension. That shocked me considering all my life I believe my blood pressure has been low. What's up with that?! I bet a better diet and a lifestyle filled with good exercise could bring that down. I'm willing to give it a shot before I start a regime of blood pressure medication that often becomes a lifetime necessity.

I'm also really tired much of the time. Considering I have a newborn, there's no surprise there. But even when I do sleep, I'm not sleeping that well. Exercise has been proven to improve sleep and energy levels. Another plus!

I have like 3 boxes of size 4 clothes that I was wearing less than a year ago. Currently I'm like a size 10 or more. Maternity clothes still grace my frumpy bod. That has got to end. And I refuse to go out and buy cute new fat clothes. REFUSE.

Enough bla bla bla. I'm totally ready to get started!

This blog is to help me keep track of my goals and to log my progress. Hope it helps!
