Yesterday

I was able to get in with my doctor yesterday for that follow up, after I seen my case manager. Turns out I was a bit premature on that follow up, to be fair I was so shocked she had an opening same day that I just had to take it. The bad news is my blood pressure is still, in her words, over the roof. She increased one of my medications, I again have to follow up next week, if it's not in control by then she may add an additional medication!

Me and my friend went walking yesterday, it was the first truly warm day, I was sweating like crazy! I also was feeling sluggish the entire walk (which might have been because of my blood pressure). We decided we are going to walk every day this week pending weather. I'm not sure about it honestly, my feet were hurting during yesterday's walk and are still sore today, I'm not sure if they are up for it, but unless I absolutely can't stand the pain, I will walk (pending weather).

Yesterday for breakfast I had a bowl of weight watchers cereal, I fasted until dinner and for dinner I had two baked chicken breast tenders, a cup of mashed potatoes and a cup and a half of mixed vegetables. I consumed a grand total of 815 calories, and burned 287. Now I know that grand total is quite low, it wasn't intentional, had I gone with the hash browns (I considered it) I would have been in my regular range, but I wanted to get those mashed potatoes out of the way, and that one cup contained 1,222 sodium, when combined with everything else I had I was just below my sodium goal. My hands were tied, but I was full, and didn't have any issues with hunger later in the night.

Today

I've already been to today's dermatologist appointment, unfortunately it appears I have some kind of chronic skin condition that causes these boils, it can't be cured, but it can be controlled. Two more prescriptions were added, I've lost count of how many I'm on now. The good news is the antibiotics the doctor put me on last week have helped a lot. Not much on the agenda, walking this afternoon, its a chilly, grey day, looks like rain or a thunderstorm could roll in a any moment so we will see.

Smooth Sailing

The week seems to have just glided by, it's almost over. I've been sleeping well, this morning however I woke-up feeling kind of out of it.  A recent comment mentioned going down in shirt sizes, that's interesting because my therapist has been saying I should do this for weeks, new clothes, it's a touchy subject. I'm not quite sure there is enough of a difference to warrant me getting new lower sizes. As I told my therapist (whom thought I was being ridiculous) I've laid in these shirts in so many different ways and contorted them that it's really no telling if weight loss  has anything to with this appearance. So I really don't want to go down lower in sizes and be disappointed, and then wouldn't going down in size make me look bigger anyways? I know the logic in that last bit is odd , but it just came to me, I can't rationalize it, but it seems valid as if this sentence. Mentally I'm mostly stable, however that picture of me by the campe...

I Watched Some Picture Films

-
I always like when people refer to movies as "picture films." I actually watched some movies over the weekend several days in a row. I even watched one this morning called The Loft , yesterday I watched The Account with Ben Affleck (so good). Its been really nice getting caught up in movie worlds for a little bit of time again, especially the horror ones, I really love a good spooky film. I watched one called From The Dark that was really good and I actually have a few to watch tonight so that should be scary fun. I got some Canadian bacon because I was told this was better for me than regular bacon because its considered lean or whatever, I also got some peanut butter 2 that I'm planning on making on an Instagram story video thing maybe today, its basically this powdery peanut butter you add water to that turns into normal peanut butter that has less fat and calories than regular peanut butter, so if you're following me on Instagram be looking out for that. How ...

Boot Camp Week Day Five

The final day of boot camp week is upon us. Today the exercise goal is to complete the four mile challenge, which would give me a new miles per week peak. The food goal is simple once again, and the consistent goal of the week. Stay below 1,800 calories. I got news yesterday that my oldest nephew might be coming down for the weekend. That's pretty awesome news. His spring break starts today, but he'll only be here the weekend (versus the entire break previously), but   it wasn't set in stone so I'm not expecting anything.  He has been getting all A's in school this semester so far so I'm really proud of him. Today I'm getting blood work done, and will likely schedule  that follow up appointment.
