Today was my weigh in, and I'm down to 241.9 lbs! Last week I was at 246.8, so this is was an awesome feeling. Needless to say that lit a fire under my ass to get to the gym, which I did today before work. But seriously, now I've lost over 10 pounds and I'm ready to lose more.
I had my check up today for my blood pressure. The nurse at school had been monitoring it over the past three weeks, and it's been everywhere between 140/70 and 166/80. Today it was 142/70, which is okay, but the 142 is still hypertension. My doctor said under 130 is ideal, but with my right diet and exercise it should come down. With that said, he still wants me to see the cardiologist next Monday for precautionary measures. He said there could be something underlying that he hasn't noticed, and he wants to make sure everything is infact okay. They may have to run tests, but I'm confident those numbers will come down with exercising and dieting. I can't wait to see what happens the next eight weeks. This has definitely been a confidence boost.
