Yesterday, June 6, I started on Day 1 of my diet/healthy eating. My starting weight was 191.17. I weigh at night, and tonight I was down -1.77 pounds. I will put up pictures of how I really look now, as soon as I can figure out how to do it. I need it on the left of the screen, with my weights below the pictures. Maybe I'll muddle along and find out how to do it. Maybe I'll find a nice blogger who will help me on some of the blog design that has me scratching my head. I will make Sunday my weigh-in day.
My new Bodybugg came today. I am so glad to be able to go back to using it and not having to guess what my deficit calories are. I had forgotten how easy it is to record what I eat.
I'm still not sleeping at night after going off Ambien CR a week ago. But I feel better. One of my goals is to get off all meds. All I have left that I'm taking are two high blood pressure drugs and Prevacid that is OTC. My doctor prescribed me 4 addditional prescriptions that I'm not taking because all of them gave me scary side-effects. One of my biggest problems has been the drugs that doctors have put me on. They are all poison for me. He took me off Xanax in March. I went into shock 2 weeks later and was in the ER and then the hospital for a week. I was on Clonazepam in the hospital and since March. All of my doctors are new since we moved to the Ft. Worth/Dallas area. And they don't have a clue. I have taken Xanax for years for muscle spasms and migraines. I googled Clonazepam and wasn't too happy to see that it didn't seem to match my needs. The curse of my existence is the medicine that doctors prescribe. I think I'm repeating myself! I want to be so healthy that I take NO drugs.
Last week I noticed that I was itching all over my body. Last night it was dreadful and kept me awake all night. My ankles were swollen badly and still are. I had a rash on my lower legs and they felt feverish. I'm sure these are side-effects of the drug. Almost all drugs cause me such bad side-effects that I can't take them. My doctor said to discontinue the Clonazepam. I was afraid it would be like Xanax and I would have to decrease gradually. I'm so thankful that I've been able to discontinue with no apparent problem. I expect to be feeling much better very soon.

To add something to your sidebar, go the the "customize" section of your blog and go to the "page elements". From there you'll "add a gadget" then "picture". That should give you the opportunity to add a picture with a caption. You can go in and edit to change your weight as you lose.
ReplyDeleteKelly, thank you for the help! That is very helpful indeed.
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny, I too am struggling with weight problems after health issues so I'm interested to follow your journey. Don't be in a rush, look after yourself and your body (1200 calories is really low). If your calories are too low it can cause other health issues. You can find me over at http://inbelladonnasgarden.blogspot.com if you are interested. Good luck.
