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.

Move Along Move Along, Just To Make It Through

The title, lyrics from one of my favorite bands and one of my favor songs, The All-American Reject's Move Along . It randomly popped up in my head at just the right time. I'm not going to give up, I pretty much see how sort of ridiculous my feelings have been the last 48 hours. Lifestyle changes are not easy, it took me 27 years, 27 years of gradually weight gain to put me here, and its not going to be lost over night, not even in a year, but a lot can be done in a year, more in two, and so on, and so on. I have to keep sight of what I want, and that is to be thinner, happier and healthier. Going back to work will be a new obstacle Ill have to adjust to, Ill have to endure the looks, the stares, the embarrassment, Ill have to live through my worst fears all over again, but I know these are the last of them, these are the final years of these bad experiences. Because I'm going to continuing losing weight, and the people and actions that intend to bring me down, will, but won

Boring Weekend Nears Its End

-
Yesterday was rather boring, I watched movies, most of them not very good ones. I ate a bowl of cereal for breakfast and fasted till dinner (I think the fasting will be a regular now) . For dinner I had some rather bland barbecue turkey meatballs, my experience with turkey meat is either it's good, or its bad, there is no in between. Anywho, I downed those with chips which is where the bulk of the days calories came from. I consumed 2,185 calories in total. Going in to this next week Id like to stay below 1800 calories, or even 1,500. Im curious about tomorrow's weigh in, wondering if it will go well. I'm concerned about maybe gaining weight somehow. It's way too soon to see the numbers go up. My goal is still to be out of the 500s by mid April, actually, let's just say by May. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow morning that should be interesting, just standard stuff this time. I'm planning workout boot camp for the coming, in -door miles every day u

Weigh-in: Seeking Redemption Cove

-
So here we are, it's Monday. Time to weigh-in, after a week of overindulging on calorie packed bakery cookies and skipping on exercising and not to mention Saturday in its entirety,  I have come into this weigh-in with realistic sense of dread. Last week I weighted 357.6. This week I weigh 354.4 . So that actually turns out to be a loss of 3.2lbs. So how did this happen? Well I honestly didn't eat dinner for the last four days, so that probably plays a slight role. Like I said a in previous post I've been in an odd place mentally, and I've taken some steps back depression wise. I decided to skip dinner since Thursday part of it was because I was trying to compensate for the damage I'd already done throughout the week, and another part was just the depression making it too easy for me not to have any appetite. The plan for the week is still to reach R edemption C ove , I'm quite uncertain if this is possible to be honest. I'm quite unmotivated and still men
