I decided to start writing about my mental health and physical health here. I’m going to try to be good about it. Today started rough, I reacted to something I shouldn’t have when my girlfriend got upset about the pest guy coming to the apartment and we left some stuff out that we shouldn’t have. :/ I got mad, she got upset. I didn’t mean to get upset but it was more so at myself then at her. I have to work on these things. I don’t want her to walk on eggshells like I have my whole life.

Fuck This

Fuck this feeling deep in my chest

I can do without it for this test

I wish I could just turn it off

Flip a switch and I'd feel aloft

First Post

Ok. So I decided to document my health journey. Maybe I’ll stick to it if I feel like I’m being followed, IDK. So, I’m a 5′3″ woman, age 29, currently weighing in at 210 LB, which means I’m down 10 LB from a few weeks ago. I’ve been tracking my food intake via My Fitness Pal (MFP) which has been helping me keep on track. I’ve also starting walking around my block to get some exercise. Running, when I can. Currently, I am without a car and haven’t been able to hit up the gym which has been really really bad for my waist line!

I’ve also been using this App on my phone called “Home Workout” which allows you to work out without any equipment. That has been fun.

What has been hard about this journey is that I’ve been having a lot of back pain and recently just woke up with pain in my hip as well. I’m not sure why...I’ve been experiencing the back pain for about a month or more now. I really need to get it checkout.

I’ve been really stressed lately and dealing with my depression and anxiety which comes and goes. This is one major issue that has kept me overweight. It’s really hard to do anything when you are so depressed that it’s a challenge to get out of bed or the house. One thing that has pushed me to do this though, is the results I got back from my doctor during this past physical exam....I have prediabetes so I gotta change this! I’m fucking stressed out about this and don’t want it to turn into full-blown diabetes. I know what that disease yields and I don’t want to deal with it.

So, yeah, that’s about it for this post, follow the hashtag #GoJo! for more updates on my health journey and to maybe cheer me on? Thanks for reading! :D
