Even though the buildup to Halloween is one of my favorite parts of the year, there's something else that trumps it just a little bit. What is it, you ask? The countdown to my birthday! It's only one month and 9 days away, and despite the fact that I can't even fathom being 24 years old, I can't wait!
It sort of ties in with my motivation topic for today. I'll let you in on a secret that I'm pretty embarrassed about- this summer before I started seriously thinking about changing my diet, etc, my doctor put me on blood pressure medicine since it was too high. Definitely not my proudest moment. I went for another checkup about 3 weeks ago, and it had gone down a bit. Yay! :D I'm still on it and have a while to go, but I have a final yearly checkup in December and they told me to lose at least 10 pounds and see where that gets me.
I have faith in myself that I can do it! But it does make me sad that I'm so young and already on medicine like that. So a really big motivator to be healthy is so I can be free of unnecessary medicines. I don't want to have to take any pills that I don't need to, and once I lose my goal weight for May, it's extremely likely that I can get off of it!
You know, once I sit down and think of all the benefits, motivators, and the like, it makes me wonder why I'm only just now taking action. But at the same time, hindsight is 20/20. I'm wiser now, which is a good thing. And I'm slowly on my way to making a big change! Later, lovelies.

By the way, I have had an awful case of the Mondays! Our toilet over flooded today. Needless to say, it was not pleasant. One of my cats got stuck in our attic and I had to pull her down while standing on a chair. What do I get in return? Scratches! Then I was carrying my dinner to the table and somehow managed to drop my entire plate on the floor. Ughhhh, get here fast Friday!
