www.extrapounds.com is another really good site. They have tools to help you track weight and inches, with handy graphs to see your progress and problem areas. They also have blogs.

I gave blood this morning and my BP was higher than it ever has been. The nurse said it was elevated, but for me, this was radically higher than what I normally see. 150/90

and my normal is around 124/70.

Ergo, now looking seriously at my salt intake and increasing my walking regimen (read this to me stop being such a lazy a$$). I've got no excuse not to get my tennis shoes or walking shoes on at work, we have lagoons and ponds and ducks and loads of pretty areas to walk amogst the buildings. Plus, I live in a walking city, I have a gorgeous park 1 block from my place (up a semi steep hill) and do I walk up that hill to tour the park, nope.

Waving bye bye to sea salt at the table, and bacon as well kalamata olives (in extreme moderation).

Just the kick start I need to get me moving.
