Scared to death (of death)

Weight: 235? (haven't weighed yet...I'll update when I do)
Activities: walked 5 miles around Town Lake
Food: tilapia with butter and herbs (the box says 80 calories), 1/2 roma tomato sliced with sea salt, 2 white cheddar rice cakes (super good!!), diet dr. pepper

So, today, I walked 5 miles with my friends, and by the end, my extremities were totally numb. From my wrists to my fingertips, I was totally swollen. In fact, part of the time I walked, my fingertips were purple. The 3 outside toes on each foot went numb along with my cheeks, lips, and nose. Ultimately, I finished my walk and now I'm back to normal, but I have to say, I was scared.

I really didn't realize I was that out of shape. So, I need to really do all the things I've been planning to do for so long. I'm going to make better food choices, and I'm going to be more active. If not, this will eventually kill me. I'm not going out like that.
