Procrastination

Well, looking back at my last post on this blog makes me a little sad.

That stress test and cholesterol test I mentioned I am finally working on.  I had the cholesterol test last week, and everything came back normal.  I go Thursday morning for the stress test.  I also recently had x-rays to check for arthritis in my right knee and both elbows - yeah that is all I need.

I've been thinking a lot about this blog lately, and the time that I have wasted in not pursuing my goals related to health.  It seems that my education and career goals are easy to pursue, but the health ones I struggle with.    Strange that the one that keeps me alive is last on the priority list.

Well, I suppose it is time to stop procrastinating.  I have a new doctor who is a specialist in genetic obesity.  He seems to be pretty optimistic on the future.  He used to weigh more than 500 lbs, and now he is around 200 lbs.  Making this a priority is what matters most to the future, so here we are.

I've lost two pounds in the last week just by changing some basic eating habits.  I'm about to start a 2.3 mile walking regime daily.  My goal is to lose 25 pounds by my birthday.  I usually do pretty good with achieving goals.  Here we go!
