Been Awhile

     Well hello again. Wow, well my weight loss started off strong, then fell in the crapper. No, I am not cheating or anything, I just cannot seem to drop it. I do know that I am all bound up and may be walking around with extra pounds of crap in me, lol. Yep, I'm full of shit, most of you already knew that. (I crack myself up)

       I have managed to drop 11.5 in two weeks. I have also tackled exercise, gasp. Oh yeah, my chubby butt walked 5 miles twice then did a 3 mile walk. Ask me do I feel more energized, go ahead, ask. The answer is NO! Pondering why not, I discovered, I have a heart condition, duh. You know the kind that makes you feel like crap no matter how much weight you drop? Now, I know as I drop more my heart will not have to work as hard, but man do I feel like a limp noodle.

       One task I am getting irritated with is.....menu planning. I have no problems with breakfast or dinner, it is lunch that I want to drown in a sea of hateful words. Remember when you could slap together a sandwich and some chips? Sorry sister, you can't. So while my stud muffin was taking his test, I decided to throw something together. Really, just threw it together. Grabbed some left over spaghetti squash, diced up a zucchini, garlic, green onion, and yellow and red bell peppers. In another pan I seasoned up some pork chops, then chef worthy, plated it. Not bad, I have to say. It was only 119 calories, which is why I may still be hungry, but Beefy liked it. (Note to self, more spaghetti squash)

       Dinner will be grilled steaks, grilled potatoes in a pouch, and some veggies. We will see how that goes.

I may have hit a wall

       Well, it looks like my daily weight loss may have come to an end. Today I stepped on the scale and no change. I should be glad that I did not gain, but this is where I struggle. I know I cant lose everyday, but now I have gotten discouraged.

       I went to my new cardiologist yesterday. The visit was good. He seems nice and seems like he cares for my wellness. He has increased my Lasix to everyday as well as my potassium. He is also thinking of putting me back on Lisinopril to help repair the heart damage.

       Yesterday and today, I am more tired than normal. I do not know if it is due to the weight loss, or maybe I am not eating the right foods. I will try a smoothie this morning and see how that goes. I feel like it is a couch day. My chest has been hurting the past few days, which I suspect is because I have not taken my potassium.


Off to make a smoothie
