New week: Day 8

Had another tough night avoiding the booze last night. Really just yesterday afternoon. Got past it and got some work done around the house. I guess I kind of let it sneak up on me. Nevertheless, I'm still on track. I suppose nobody said this would be easy. My weight this morning, post poop, was 204.5. That puts me right at 5lbs in a week. I expected that; however, before I went on my walk this morning I checked my blood pressure. Came in at 136/72 with a pulse of 60 bpm. Now then, I quit taking my blood pressure meds on Monday. I figured it would come down if I ever sobered up, but I had to know if it was because my body was working properly or because of some crack rock the drug dealer at the clinic handed me. Well, my genetics and my doctor can kiss my ass. Looks like my heart is just sensitive to rediculously unhealthy living. Go figure. Guess I'll have to cinch the belt up live healthier the rest of my life.
This is getting easier every day. I'm pretty amped about today's workout. It's roughly a million degrees and I've got some sweatin to do.

Dude, you have no idea how awesome that is!! I'm on the verge of tears over here. Having first hand knowledge of how hypertension can destroy your body, I am so stoked man. How about when we get done here, we just quit the beer totally. Unless its when we go see cody up in NM and have an IPA such as Ruination! I love you man!
