The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Yesterday

I had several appointments. One with my general care doctor and another with the podiatrist. The first appointment was early, it was my follow appointment since being placed on high blood pressure medicine. Well unfortunately  my blood pressure was still high! I don't understand it, I was honestly hoping she'd take me off it, that she see that there was no big deal and that maybe my high readings were isolated incidents, but that didn't happen. What happened is she put me on two additional medications to help control my blood pressure. In addition to that she said I was lacking vitamin D, and put me on something for that. Also I had some weird bump formations on my arm that she put me on antibiotics to take of! Ugh!



The podiatrist meeting went better, he took X-Rays again, this time the system was working, and now know luckily I do not have any bone spurs or fractures in my feet. We began the casting shortly after, it took about 30-45 minutes, and then I was out of there. It'll be over a month before my orthotics arrive. A few hours after my podiatrist appointment, my friend arrived to take me for our walk at the park, but as soon as we entered the parking lot, a huge thunderstorm arrived, so sadly we did not walk, but we were going to, but the weather didn't permit it.

For breakfast a bowl of Apple Jacks, and then fasted until dinner. For dinner I had baked chicken breast with peppers, mashed potatoes and 2 cups of mixed vegetables, I enjoyed it quite a bit. I later snacked on some Cheezits and Wheat Thins. I consumed a grand total of 1,055 calories and stayed below my sodium goal.

Today

I discovered a few days ago that my depression medication would run out far before next Friday's appointment with the psychiatrist, I informed my therapist who informed some other people, and got my appointment fast tracked to today. So today I will meeting with my psychiatrist for the first time, that should be interesting. Today nothing else much on the agenda honestly, just to follow the calorie and sodium goal.

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.
