I have not gone anywhere, and I am just as focused as ever to continue down the healthy path. Here are this week's, last week's, and Novembers numbers:
| June 2 | May 26 | Nov 2007 | |
| Weight | 219 | 221 | 267 |
| Blood Pressure | 126/82 | 133/83 | 160/115 |
| Heart Rate | 73 | 64 | 103* |
I had a few Memorial Day bratwursts and burgers, and, combined with an inconsistent workout schedule, I did put on a pound from May 19 to May 26. This does not bother me at all, because the trend is still downwards.
The heart numbers are also holding strong. I still can not get over how much the blood pressure has dropped. I am almost at a healthy level!
Addition to the Equation
So now that my six month layoff is officially over, I have to manage my time so that I still can fit in workouts. This is going to be difficult because the gym does not open early enough for me to workout in the mornings, and I am going to be getting home around 6:30 every night. It is significantly easier to work out when you don't have anything to do during the day outside of watching King of the Hill on FX.
Now that I am talking through it, perhaps the challenge isn't time management so much as motivation and drive.
My motivations:
- An October 4 wedding
- Not having a heart attack way too young
- Actually, not having a heart attack at all
- Being able to buy more smaller clothes
