If I have to take one more pill!
Well… I got good news over the weekend. All of the "fat" I thought I had gained was indeed "fluid."
The bad news is - there’s a pill for that! Now my blood pressure is wacky. It’s been everywhere between 90/60 to 148/101 today. Grrr… My blood pressure has always been near perfect. But "fluid" pills are also blood pressure pills. I’m just not sure why it’s going up?
Don’t get me wrong - I am very glad to get rid of the fluid. I’ve lost 14 pounds since Sat., which I had thought was all weight gain. My extremities were in serious pain and are better now, and I actually FEEL like working out. I’m very proud of those things.
It’s just frustrating that everything seems to help one thing and make another worse.
Anyways… that is enough pouting.
I’ve done pretty good on watching my food, but I haven’t worked up to an actual "diet" yet. I may start that tomorrow, though.
My smoking resolution is wavering, but I’m going to try and rally myself back up tonight.
With all of this excess fluid leaving my body, I actually feel like working out. That’s definitely a step in the right direction.
I guess we’ll see what tomorrow brings…

You can totally do this. Remember baby steps you don’t want to freak out your body. I’m glad you’re feeling better and I look forward to hearing about your workout tomorrow.
