3 lbs away from 100 lbs lost!
Aug 31, 2011
I went into the clinic for my blood pressure check today. My doctor had moved me down to half a pill of metoprolol a few weeks ago. My bp was excellent today actually better then what is considered normal. 114/68. She is going to pass the info onto my doctor and I am guessing she is going to take me off of the bp med. She said if my bp was good at half a dose then she would take me off of it. I got weighed in and I am 278! Just 3 lbs away from 100lbs lost. Crazy! I have almost lost almost half of what I was hoping to lose. That definitely makes me see what a dent I have put into things. I know I still have a long ways to go.I really want to get some exercise equipment. I'd like to get an exercise bike and/or a treadmill. I know they would be very convenient having them in the house and it would be good to use them especially in the winter when I probably won't be as motivated to go out and exercise. We have also been contemplating a gym membership. We have some exercise clubs called Fitness 19. I'm not really sure what types of equipment they have but they are very reasonable in price $17/month. I just don't know if I would feel uncomfortable exercising in front of skinny people. If I'd feel self conscious and uncomfortable with it. I also don't know what kind of equipment they have. But I have a coupon for a free month of membership there. So it might be worth checking out.
I've been looking at maybe changing jobs. Considering finding something full-time. I feel like I can handle and do a full-time job now and it would be nice to have the extra money. We haven't heard anything back yet on Marvin's ctscan. Hoping that we hear back soon from the surgeon. I left him a message on Monday but haven't heard anything back. I know they aren't in the office on Wednesdays so I am hoping we will have some sort of news tomorrow. Next Monday is Marv's birthday. We are going to go out to eat this weekend to the Texas Roadhouse. We haven't eaten out much since my surgery but we have once or twice and it went okay.
