The good news is we haven't been to the ER since Friday night! WOO HOO! More blood work in the AM though.
The bad news is I need a new scale. Now it is hovering between 220 and 230 and of course there is no possible way that is anywhere near accurate as much as I want it to be. Even as well as I'm doing sticking to healthy choices and 5 of 7 days within my calorie range (the other 2 days were 1666 and 1768) even I know it is time to get another scale. I am so bummed! Now, even if I have lost this week I don't know how much and even worse, I don't know what my starting point was. I'll have to get over it. Don't want to throw a wrench in everything with something that is truly trivial in the long run.
Back to good news! I got batteries and BP is a little elevated but that is because I stopped taking one of my meds. It started making me feel really weird a while ago and since I've stopped taking it the elevation is not significant 130-140/70-80ish. I could only take the Terazosin at night because of the weirdness but decided to stop when I woke up to go the the BR and had to support myself against the wall to get there. My sugars aren't too bad either. I need to get them down about 30 points before breakfast, but the weight loss should take care of that. Cardio should help too and my plan is to start that tomorrow. The lady downstairs is gonna love me! I got a walking DVD but it is basically marching in place, so she's going to think a herd of elephants is invading. I could walk outside, but I don't have the confidence or stamina that I think I need to accomplish what I want to do and know I'll have to break up my 60 minutes a day into 10, 20, or 30 minute sessions at first. Besides, I can't use weather as an excuse with a DVD!
