Tomorrow Will Be 30 Days.....
.....since I first went to my new PCP.
After doing a check-up, refilling my meds, doing blood work....I came outta there feeling like shit.
For 2 or 3 days, I felt like total HELL....even had to leave work early one day.

Since then, my body has gotten accustomed to the meds (somewhat) and with watching what I eat and doing my morning walks, I'm proud to announce:
03/16: BP - 184/116
04/15: BP - 117/90
Blood glucose level: 03/16 100 - 180 range
04/15 80 - 120 range
Weight 03/16: 243 pounds
04/15...............................................
..........................................
Wait for it..................................................
..........................................................

The BEST part of this whole thing? I FEEL GREAT!!! I can do a 15-minute mile walking!! And I LOOK FORWARD to my walks!!
Thanks for the support! And remember...If I can do it, YOU CAN, TOO!

A GREAT DAY.....Or So I Thought...
Went to the track this morning, and thanks to my friend Mandi for suggesting some new music to walk to, I BOOKED it around the track. Easily a personal best!
After my walk, I went home and had my usual breakfast - a "braised" egg, a slice of canadian bacon, and my cup of coffee. Checked my numbers and they were all GOOD!!
Then, to work......
Really good, productive day. Finished reorganizing the stockroom and the display cabinet we keep 50 mls in, and the afternoon was VERY steady!
Bossman coming in to close.....4:00? Not there.
4:15 he shows up, then proceeds to tell me about EVERY sale he had the night before. Now, here's the thing that has irked me.....
When I went salaried, I told him I "wanted" to get out of there close to 4:00 so I could get my afternoon walk in, get home and shower, fix supper, and eat.
Needless to say.....his tardiness and "gift-of-gab" cost me 45 minutes! So, that would make me having supper at around 7:00 - much too late for me.
We WILL have to talk. Salaried or not, unless he pays my insurance, I'M going to take care of my health!

Walking Tips
When I started my walks, I loaded a bunch of songs into my mp3 player and set out.
Which was all fine and good, until I realized that my "Healthy Pace" steps (ones that help you lose weight) was too low.
Took me a week to figure out that some of the music I was walking to, was toooooo slow (Uptown Funk!) So, I reloaded songs and hit the track again.
Today I realized, I had two REALLY fast paced steps one after another and I about had a coronary.
Sooooooooo......I've got to reload my mp3 with a correct blend of fast-paced and REALLY fast-paced songs to walk to.
Once I get it down, I'll let you know.
BTW.....it's disco heavy!

Back With A Vengenance
Dealing with personal issues, so I haven't posted in a few days, so here's a recap:
I'm averaging 800 - 1000 consumed calories per day. Now, DON'T think that number is too low, because I eat/snack frequently and I'm NEVER hungry. I'm just consuming more nutritional things - AND tons of water!
MEASURED calories burned (sleep and steps) is running around 800 - 1000 a day, also. So ANYTHING I do extra only adds to the calories being burned.
I'm AVERAGING 40% carbs (it's that damned YOGURT!), 7% fat, and 53% protein.
Blood pressure average - 123/82
I'm STILL out of glucose strips because I ordered the WRONG ones from Ebay.....but new ones will be here soon.
I'm holding back telling you what my weight loss is until the 16th - a month from when I went to the Doctor.
Keep on truckin'!
