About Me

I am a married mother of a 14yr old son, 7 yr old daughter, and my furr baby Lola who is 2 (cat). My family has a history of high blood pressure at very young age. I too am following in my families footsteps. Currently am under doctor supervision and having to take weekly readings and log them to be reviewed. I have been charting since April 2011. My next apt is in 6 months and Dr. told me to lose 20lbs. He was about to put me on meds but offered give me 6 more months.. ( of course if HBP gets worse I have to contact them and get on meds ). I want to live a Healthy Long Life, Want to still be around for my children, Want to have those "golden years" with my hubby and Tired of hating how I feel in photos and in mirrors!

Looking forward to getting to know everyone
