2008 off to a Rough Start

I am so glad that each year doesn't start off the way 2008 has. On January 4th I went to the doctor with high -- VERY high -- blood pressure. It was scary. The doctor put me on all kids of medicine to keep me from having a stroke. Needless to say, this was enough to scare me into chaning my life style. I joined a gym and am working out with a trainer 3 times a week. I am also seeing a nutritianist and am tracking "points" at WeightWatchers online. Anything I can to do live the longest possible. Between January 4 and Janurary 21 I have already lost 4 poiund. Many more to go, but it's a start.

Makenna as had problems all month with her Asthma, has had strep throat and now has pink eye -- We are only 26 days into the year. Ugh! Croup and Chicken Pox are also going around her school. Fingers crossed we don't get those too.

Any way -- Check back for health updates. :)
