Update: 208.8lbs
Alright, so not great news from the doctor - my bloody blood pressure is up again, super super high. It's a good thing I am back on the exercise bandwagon, because that is definitely a sign that I was off of it for a long time. My left knee is feeling really good right now (hopefully I don't jinx it), but my right one feels a little weird. I am just going to have to make sure I stretch quite a bit and try my hardest to keep my legs/feet in-line when doing anything from now on. I may even have to find a running specialist place to get my gait looked at to see if I need some fancy hydrolic shoes to keep me all balanced out. I have a feeling those babies would be very stylish.
The doctor didn't even look at the bloody knee because 'one issue per visit please' - except I know for sure that other people don't follow that rule because the appointments were almost an hour late! Freaking hell... not a good start. Anyways... I have a physical scheduled in a month's time where I'll have to get the gambit done - pap (ekk), breast exam (man it sucks being a woman sometimes), weight/height, BP, hopefully a blood test. So that means I have a month (and three days to be exact) to get myself back into the swing of things, my blood pressure back to my normal high-normal and hopefully put a little dent into my weight.
Appointment: April 24th
34 days to get in shape.
I thought that today my gym might not be open, but indeed they are - only 10-2pm, so I must get going!
Have a great Easter ladies! Maybe I'll actually comment, instead of just lurk in the corner!

I'm sending some "lowered blood pressure" vibes your way, Briana! And to rant a bit...these new docs have their nerve, don't they? One issue per visit! How about seeing me as the whole person I am, you fool! Oh, well!!! Good Luck!
Hi Briana Indeed your MD’s attitude "one matter per visit" is horrible and so wrong....wishing you great success and lot’s of good energy in your quest of “reining” in the blood pressure issue. As you may have noticed, I deleted my weight blog but my knitting blog is still up and running .
