I'm just about 4 months into this thing called hypertension and I feel great!
I feel as if January was so long ago and I've been dealing with this for a while now. My attitude has changed my diet has changed and in the process my weight has changed. I'm not depressed about food anymore. I feel as if I have new taste buds. I don't want processed foods anymore. I've been reading labels, I've always been a label reader but now I'm a maniac! Making sure most of the ingredients are real food and not chemicals. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I don't eat any processed or chemically packed foods, I'm just saying I'm eating them ALOT less. My eating habits are changing and I'm happy about it!
Another thing that changed is I am now taking a medication for the hypertension. I'm hoping with my continued weight loss, my doctor will help me to get off the medication. My next appointment is June 19th...we'll see!! Apparently, the medication I'm taking has protective properties for my heart...okay! I'm okay with that, for now!
I haven't been exercising as much as I should! I started exercising with a beach body DVD...I got bored! I walk...sometimes and I dance with the Kinect! Hopefully I will find my groove with this exercising thing!!
I've been reading weight loss blogs that are inspiring and seeing pictures of their journey amazes me! I know I can do this, I know I can become healthy again. God says I am his masterpiece, beautifully and wonderfully made...I need to start acting like it! I need to clean out the temple!!!
Lord Jesus thank you thank you thank you for giving me endurance! I know I can do this with you. Thank you for loving me so much that you died for me. Father help me to continue to make wise choices and please be there when I fail. Help me to help others, give me a special blessing of your grace Lord thank you for your grace and mercy. Amen
