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.

I am blaming Nine for my cookie craving, because he got me started on them last night and I have been wanting one ever since. I am justifying it for several reasons:

  • I only ate half
  • The soup was healthy, low-fat, and I didn’t even finish it
  • It contained walnuts, which are good for my blood pressure

I should have listened to my instincts that told me to throw away the stupid baguette portion right away. I forgot that they give it to you, or else I would have just told them I didn’t need it.

A little over two more hours of work. I am supposed to go work out with Andy tonight, but I only nabbed about four hours of sleep last night, which is leaving me feeling quite zombie-riffic right now. Meh.
