A little about me

I have never done a blog before, so bare with me! I am wrapping up my current project to even make room for exercising! I’m going through all of my old junk in the garage. Some of what I found were old toys from when I was a kid, and stuff from high school like old football programs. It has been fun, but getting it all organized has been a headache! I tend to be a packrat and had saved a ton of old paperwork I no longer need. I have thrown out several large bags full of the stuff. Luckily we recycle!

I’m not only going to talk about Physical Health and Weight Loss, but also about Mental Health. It is extremely important to keep Mentally Healthy, and it is so often overlooked. I am in a super slump right now, and want to change that. If we pamper ourselves, we will more likely care more about eating healthy and exercising.

A little bit about me, I live in Texas with my Fiancé. We have been together for 10 years. We don’t have kids, but we have two adorable kittens. The girl’s name is Baloo, and the boy’s name is Mel. We are both going to school full time. Money is tight for everyone right now, so I want to figure out how to be healthy on a budget!

I am about 100 pounds overweight, so I really can’t wait any longer to do something about it. At the start of last semester I took my blood pressure for a Phys Ed Class and it was high. It had never been high before, so I was a bit worried. By the end of the semester, it had gone down and is just slightly over normal. I want to keep working to bring it down.

I’ll take and post some measurements; this will help track my progress. It is embarrassing for others to know just how fat I am, but maybe this can help encourage you too! I know we all find reasons to slip up or not stick with it, but hopefully this will be a way for us to work together and encourage each other to be healthy! Let me know if you are on a similar healthy transformation, and we can help support each other!

I don’t have a lot of knowledge about the right exercises to do or what I should eat. It seems everything out there is so contradictory, but I will start blogging at the start of my journey, and you can learn from my adventures or mis-adventures as I try to figure it all out!

I am not a doctor, and this is just information I am figuring out for myself, so I would suggest talking to your doctor before starting any program.
