Renewing Friendships and Losing Weight

Start with the weight... been in the gym and really watching my food intake the past 2 weeks - PAYOFF! Down 3 pounds ... that's 3 of the 15 -20 that I want/need to lose... the bloodpressure came down also... still need to see a bigger drop in the bottom number of the BP, but good start...

Now the friendship piece - went to lunch on Thursday with my friend - WOW! She showed up and my jaw hit the floor... what a beauty! Would have loved to have taken the rest of the day off with her, but it could not be...

She's taking more time off later in the month so I'll try to play hookey one afternoon and spend time if she wants - Letting her make the choices. So far it's been fine by me and the results have been awesome.

Some Progress....

Small steps - since my physical at the beginning of the month I've managed to drop about 5 pounds... it's a start... blood pressure is still too high but I haven't had the chance to get back into the gym or start a running program yet.

After being sick for much of February and then my family being sick most of March and April, I think things are settling down a bit...

This should give me the chance I need to get moving more and drop a little more of this weight and get to that 185 mark.

The HelpDesk Turnip

Last week at work... rough start to the week because of a bunch of problems caused by AT&T nationwide. Network crap. Oh well - some things are just out of your control.

One of my co-workers and I came up with an idea that I should leave a big, ol' turnip on my desk when I leave.

Why?

So that people can be reminded that whoever takes over my position will have to squeeze BLOOD out of the damn thing!!!

Good luck to whoever that is...

Serenity...

Quiet day. Not much going on.

Taking it all in and relaxing. Blood pressure is good and things are calm...

Turning out to be a very good weekend so far. Tomorrow will be rougher though because of what I have to do at work. Anyway - I'll enjoy it while I can.

Off to go do some reading and to relax some more.
