Friday's -

Headache is mostly gone, but AF is still hanging around.  

We've got no plans for today.  I'll go out and mow before a week of rain starts tomorrow.. picked up some turkey burgers that I'll throw on the grill with some ff cheese tonight (and maybe lunch, too.. who knows).. hope to get some laundry and vacuming done, but we'll see.  Just a quiet day around here.

Start: 229
Today: 224
Loss: 5lbs

1c oikos w/fibersure
salmon fillet
1c oikos
chicken and ff cheddar flatbread
new protein bar -- didn't care for it at all

1154 cals  27.5g fat  77.5g carbs  154.75g protein  18g fiber

30 min hardcore elliptical, and not much in lower body weights (free)

I figured out that I get a BP drop after doing squats using a davis bar (it's a bar in a track that you put weights on the end.. it's safer than just a normal bar and more versatile).  I did my calf raises no problem.. go to do the squats and have issues after each set.  I don't know if the machines have the same effect.. I'll find out tomorrow and rework my weights accordingly (it's time to rework them anyway).

The first is my cross post from another accountability thread for Monday's food with an excerpt about my test.. the 2nd is yesterday's food.

I'm alive.  I wish I were still asleep, but I'm alive.

The test started out ok.  I had immediate reaction, but figured it was due to not eating (nausea).  BP and HR were fine, though, so I really assumed it was cause pouchie was empty for too long.  6 min in the nausea got worse.  8 min in and I was really feeling it.  10 min in was not cool.  11 and I crashed.  They ended the test at 12 minutes with a positive reaction.  My systolic went to 71 (from a start of 118), which was way lower than my HR (which had started to speed up around 8 min).

Ever try passing out standing up but strapped down?  It's not fun.  Pretty clausterphobic.  Good thing those damned straps were on well because I was clawing my way through them before I finally went under.  They put me back flat (actually, mor eof a head stand), and all was right with the world within 3 minutes.  Except now I'm exhausted.  At least they didn't need to use medicine to cause the reaction.. I'm always trying to do things on my own yannow (dry humor).

So what does this mean?  Well, I get a new medication to my ever-growing list.  Soon as Katy-bit wakes up from her nap, we're going to go fill it.

So thanks for the thoughts.  It means alot to have such a kind and caring family.  My other board is worrie bout me, too (which is ironic, knowing where it is.. most people hate that board), so I'll do my accountability and check up on posts later today when I feel alive again.

My day's food started out late.. but I ended up getting quite a bit in before I headed off to bed.  I don't know if it's cause AF is on her way, or the test, but I'm on day two of a migraine.  I've started some triptans, so I hope I'll at least feel human by lunch.

No excercise.. went to get in the car and the spare tire we had put on from the blowout on the way home was flat and I didn't know where the valve was to  put more air in it.  I'm going to get new tires today, and I hope to also either mow or head to the Y this afternoon.
