Thursday Weigh In

  The other day I blurted out my weight hoping it would be motivation enough for me to do something about the extra pounds that are also wreaking havoc on my blood pressure. I think it worked!!! The bummer is my blood pressure is still high so I had to back to the Doctor today to get the dosage of my meds increased. I admit, I got a little carried away by the low blood pressure numbers. I went out and bought a shrimp platter one day, and then fried myself five pieces of "low sodium" bacon the next day. That caused my blood pressure to shoot up to 141/100...Not good! What possessed me to do that? I have no clue, but I've learned my lesson and won't do it again. I'd love to get off of the meds and I'd surely like to see my little "buggars" have some little "buggars" on day. In one weeks time I lost three pounds. I've been walking two miles a day at a brisk pace and I'm limiting my sodium intake. Weigh-in from this morning:

    My mother struggled with high blood pressure when I was growing-up. It was really hard for her. It sounds like you are making great effort to control yours, good luck! I saw your post on bloggy moms and following you now. I look forward to your future posts :)

    Great job! Do you have support around you for your weight loss journey? That's what I am currently struggling with-- I don't have a good group of IRL friends to share with so I try to connect online. I use myfitnesspal.com to connect and track and all that. -- Becky

      Thx! I sorta have a good support system. I have family members that are also on a weight loss journey so we try to encourage each other. I'm headed over to that website now, I really appreciate it :)
