However, recently I was diagnosed with pre-hypertension, whatever that means; my blood pressure is either where it should be or it isn't! I'm a big girl (no pun intended) and can handle the truth! I think some of these descriptors aren't helpful and might lead to false beliefs about one's health one way or another -- more on that some other time. The important point is with this warning signal from my body, I'm ready to revamp my motivation and think I will find kindred spirits here.
I started running last November and just this month, I have opted for less meat in my diet. As it stands, I haven't had meat for the past two weeks but have consumed many good veggies and fruit, tofu, beans, and to ruin the wonderfulness of my list, a few beers. Yes, I like to drink beer and wine -- this is (sometimes) my biggest struggle as I love good drink.

At any rate, I just wanted to say "hey!" and look forward to becoming part of what appears to be a friendly community.
