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.

Getting my tattoos done today.
If getting permanent artwork on your body isn’t great motivation to stay in shape, I don’t know what is.

I woke up early today and made some delicious vegan fajiats for lunch, so I am kind of stoked to eat that later!
I feel like my life is kind of sad when I am looking forward to eating. I need to be really good about my diet this week, though, because I made an appointment to get my tattoo on Saturday. I am mildly concerned because it is going on the lower part of my stomach/hips which is one of my problem areas. I am hoping getting this will motivate me to keep it in shape!
