a personal journey toward fitness for life

A Brief Explanation

Here's the short story. I've neglected my health for nearly a decade. I'm using this Weblog to document my efforts toward better fitness. Here's the opening post, which pretty much explains it all. I've taken as my motto the words of Dr. George Sheehan. "First, be a good animal."

it's been creeping up, and i have been feeling some pressure the past few days, so i took 80mg of diovan today for the first time since july 2nd

i'll keep monitoring each day and see whether or not i need to continue with it

probably ought to get in to the doctor before long just on general principles too

wrapping up 2-week liver cleanse...haven't noticed any effects

no alcohol for nearly a month - the main thing i've noticed is a slight weight loss, but that may have more to do with the cleanses and eating habits going along with that

i'm going to let up for a week - then start focusing on diet and exercise again next week...i may do another cleanse somewhere down the line...probably won't bother with the liver cleanse again...i think the whole body cleanse was better for me
