Getting close...

Well friends, it's almost "Weigh In Wednesday", but I thought I'd put a brief post about how the week has gone so far. I have to say that putting how much I weigh out there for all to see and then saying, "I'm gonna lose weight" is a HUGE motivator! The faces of those of you that are following this blog cross my mind as I'm making choices about food and exercise. And when the dreaded alarm goes off at 5am for my workout, I hear you all saying "Go girl!" And because I know you want me to succeed, it's makes me want to succeed even more...people pleaser? Yes probably. Whatever it takes folks!

I wanted to squelch any worries about my blood pressure. I'm mostly writing this for my MOM because she flipped out when she read that I heard the words high blood pressure at recent doctor's appt. Now, with my current weight it would not be surprising at all if I did have high blood pressure. But, I don't! In fact, this morning at the doctor, my bp was PERFECT! So, cool your jets Mom! I was just a little nervous at my last doctors appt. (which was when I heard those three words) because they were about to come at me with "instruments"...and I don't mean violins and cellos!

I know we'll find out a NUMBER on Wednesday as far as weight progress. But, I'll tell you this much right now...I feel motivated. I feel energized. I'm working out. I'm eating less. Hopefully it will show on the scale, but definitely it shows in my spirit! Thanks for cheering me on...I need all the help I can get!

**PS...I know many of you well, and I know you might be asking yourself, "Why two recent doctor's appointments." Nothing is wrong. Just was in the market for a new doctor and therefore had to have a couple of appts. That's all!
