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:

  3. 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
