Back again...

It's been a while since I posted anything. I've fallen down a rabbit hole and have just emerged. My schedule has been rather tight but the semester is winding down. I've not been walking as much the last couple of weeks because I hurt my ankle. I have started back again and it's all working out. I have officially lost 90 pounds in the last year and am hoping for the same results by this time next year.

The holidays don't make it easy. It is my firm belief that we eat more during the holidays simply because we can. It will be my goal to continue on without falling back. It is official. I have stopped using my CPAP machine because I don't need it anymore. I had a check up recently and my body is adjusting quite well. Soon, maybe within three months, I will be off high blood pressure meds. My readjusted target is now 180 pounds. The doctor checked my records, and though I want to forget, I have started and failed this journey many times. The most I have ever weighed is 427 pounds about 11 years ago. Much more to go but still on my way.

Beginning again...

Tomorrow begins another week. Another year to lose another 90. I feel a whole lot better. The doctor informed me that if everything goes as planned, I will be off my high blood pressure meds by the end of the year. I can hardly wait until next October 31. I will begin keeping track of this blog on Sunday evenings. Its been a bit hectic as of late and Sunday PM seems to be a good time to update. Another week. Another year. Can hardly wait...
