Scared out of My Mind

A week or so ago my mom was told she had high blood pressure..A.K.A Hypertension. I know this does not sound as bad as maybe cancer or some other deadly disease..but it really is just as bad. My mom is one of those really tough women who never cries over anything. She is the toughest person i know and i have always looked up to her. The high blood pressure is causing her to feel dizzy and nauseous. I really cannot stand to see her this way. It hurts sometimes and i try not to show it because i know my mom does not want me to feel bad for her. How could I not? She is my mother and I love her more than anything in the world. I do not know what i would do without her. Such a stubborn lady she is...LOL. :) I guess i am scared out of my mind because i can see that she is getting worse. The medicine they prescribed is not working so they have to put her on a different medication. I do not see the medications doing anything for her. I am trying to help her stay on a low sodium diet. It is quite difficult though to find low sodium foods. I think i will check out some place online.

The weight has finally been lifted...i think..

Well, I had the most amazing two days of my life. :) Yesterday and Tuesday were so awesome because I got to experience fun again. It had been awhile i must admit. I have been so busy working and getting ready for school. I got to spend time with the man i love. :) That was the best thing about the last two days. Oh there is one more thing...my boss Heather is leaving us. She is going to run the theatre in Lawton..:) I am so excited! I know i know...what a terrible thing for me to say right? Well, no..she is such a depressing woman. I tried to befriend her but she is a really hard person to get along with sometimes. Anyway all of us at work are super excited about this and cannot wait!! :D I do wonder if Julie will be promoted then..if not..then what will be end up with? Someone who is even crazier than Heather? Is this even possible? I would hate to find out. Just sayin......

The turning of a new leaf..

This Sunday it will be two weeks since I started my diet. I have lost 8lbs. thus far and intend to lose many more. My ultimate goal is to lose 60lbs. My current goal is to lose 10lbs. I am almost to that goal. I have really been pushing myself and I have been trying to push others as well. I want everyone in my life to be healthy. My mom is supposed to be doing this diet thing with me, but she is having a much harder time than I am. I told her tomorrow we will really push it. I haven't cheated at all. I am very proud of myself. I have never been able to motivate myself like this. It is invigorating. :) I cannot wait until my body slims down and i can finally fit into some of the clothes i haven't been able to wear in years. I will be logging my progress each week. Sometimes each day..it just depends on how i am feeling that day. :)
