I'm a young, vivacious woman with terrible health. I'd like to blame genetics and situations beyond my control for this, but I know it is partly my fault. I decided I was sick of feeling like "twenty five is the new fifty two," so I changed my diet and lifestyle to help fix my declining health. No one my age should have a blood pressure of 190/110. This is where I write about it.

9.7.10 Review
So for the food that I actually had numbers for, I consumed 1,480 calories yesterday. Let’s bear in mind that this does not include the two cups of popcorn I ate around 10am, the peanut butter pretzels at 8pm, and the nosh-fest I had when I came home between 12:30am and 1am.
I think it is safe to say I hit, and probably surpassed, my 2,000 calorie intake. I’m not terribly disappointed though, because the majority of what I ate was healthy. The only things I am going to aim to avoid for next week are:
- no peanut butter-filled pretzels at the bar
- no eating when I get home
I have found a good way to avoid eating when I come home at night is to brush my teeth right away and take a tylenol pm. Nothing prevents you from shoveling food in your mouth better than being stone-cold passed out.
