While the year was not a resounding success, I am still happy with the progress I have been able to maintain. As long as I am moving forward, the future looks bright. I see areas I need to adjust and work on differently to enable success, and so I will do just that.
The biggest area I have already started to make strides forward is my diet. Being part of a "fuel in" group ( that's what I am calling it) has made me much more accountable and aware as to what I am actually putting into my body as fuel. My blood pressure is down to almost optimal for me according to my my Doctor ( statistically ) and my weight is headed in the right direction. So Yay me!!
I have never really published my weight and blood pressure numbers as they terrified me. Now I see the gains I have made and it makes me want more!! So here are my numbers (yikes, this is hard to put in print)
Start of Year of the Dragon (Feb 10, 2024)
💓blood pressure 154/89 OMG!!
😨weight 229.2 lbs again OMG!! Most I have ever weighed
Start of Year of the Snake ( Jan 28, 2025 )
💓blood pressure 128/79 Getting there!! ( my Doc wants me below 140/90 at all times - done!)
😌weight 222.4 lbs Slow and steady - I want 200 by the end of this year!!
So there you have it, and so there I have it, slow and steady, know my limits and reach beyond them, no quitting, I have a plan and I am sticking to it. I want to look back when I am 90 and say...I remember when.... Oh wait, I'm already doing that!!
