Best NSV yet!

I've had a few victories, but none as good as my most recent!

Here's a little back story: I first realized I needed to start on this journey in February. I knew I was getting bigger, but when my boyfriend and I went to donate plasma, I was having issues being accepted because my pulse rested at about 111 bpm. O.o! I had to sit there with a cold water cup on my wrist for 20 minutes to get it down too 100 which was the maximum accepted pulse. Also, my blood pressure was sitting at 143/95...just getting into the unhealthy ranges. Again, I knew I was getting bigger but I didn't realize what I'd really been doing to my body until that point. I finally sucked it up and started my journey for real in April.

Last week, then, I was injured at work...had a burn on my arm and had to get it treated at the hospital. While I was there, they checked my pulse and blood pressure as usual. I am happy to report, as of 2 weeks ago, my pulse is a steady 70 bmp while resting and my blood pressure is a perfect 120/80! While I still have some weight to lose, I am so excited that I've gotten some of my health issues in check quickly and all it took was watching what I put in my body and some exercise!
