Lovin the Results.

Weighed 170 this morning. Down 8 lbs. BP low enough that I stopped one medication. Monitoring my numbers twice a day to make sure I don't need the second drug. Looks like I can lose about 3 lbs a week on this plan. Very nice.

My blood pressure dropped to 98/74 this morning. Tomorrow, I am going to try to remove one of the medications and see if I stay in the normal range. So glad I gave this diet a chance again. The note book is keeping me on track.

GOOD NUMBERS

I put myself back on the dash diet. I bought a notebook and everything. This morning my weight was down to 172.6 and my blood pressure was 110/78. That is the best reading I have had in four years. I may be on my way to getting off of the medicine, finally.

I think almost anything can be turned into a salad.

I am going to try an experiment with salads. I made fajita salads from the left overs of last weeks and this weeks dinner. Low carb, high protein, lots of veggies. Perfect meal. No I just need to try to make salads out of all the other stuff Larry makes. Get rid of the starch add the veggies.

This week I am adding ten minutes per day on the wii fit to my house cleaning 10 minute schedule. If I miss a day, no problem, just pick it up the next day. There is no making up for missed work outs or house cleaning. I am not punishing myself anymore. Today I set out to do ten minutes and ended up doing twenty. That does not mean I have to do twenty tomorrow. Tomorrows goal is also 10 minutes. Everydays goal from here on out is ten minutes. If I do more great. If I miss a day no problem.

Dropped down to 170 but cannot remember my pin for the ticker. Durn. Now trying to remember what I ate yesterday. fajita salad; chicken, peppers, onion, cheese, and sour cream, pork rinds and salsa, then chicken soup homemade with lots of celery and cilantro.

A it turns out eating better is easier than working out. In the past three weeks I have made on permanent change. I clean house most days for twenty to thrity minutes. Seems small, but for me it is huge. I set the timer and work on laundry for 10 minutes and reset it and work in the kitchen for 10 minutes and then reset it and work someplace else in the house for 10. The place looks pretty good and I think I have set a habit pattern. One week ago I went back on diabetic diet. My weight hac fluctuated as high as 177. It is back down to 172.6 this morning. Bec has the diagnosis, so I better make the life change now or lose a toe. Hopefully in 3 weeks new eating behavior will be a habit as well.
