I recently changed my outgoing voicemail to an automated message vs. my own personalized message because Dave is getting calls on my phone until we get a home phone… I was supposed to take her to her eye appointment this morning and called her around 3:00 p.m. yesterday to confirm what time I would arrive at her house and she said “Since I couldn’t reach you I asked Debby to take me” I had taken the morning off just to take her and we had numerous discussions about it! I was upset with her and hung up on her. I also called Debby and let her know I was not happy the situation but that she could take her. So instead of taking her, I opted to go to the pharmacy and got my hair cut. I arrived at work earlier then they expected me but got scolded because I had forgotten to write down an appt. in my appt. book. Oh well what can you do…
Did well on food over the weekend except I waited too long in between meals and got kinda shaky around dinner time last night. Did not do any “formal” exercise yesterday but did a lot of moving around lifting and pulling.
I need to contact my doctor about my blood pressure. While I was at the Pharmacy, I saw a blood pressure screening station and she took it and it was 108/60 and the last time it was 118/68. I think that is a little low. I am on two different blood pressure medications so I am wondering if I need to discontinue one. That would be good! My goal is to ditch ALL the meds I am on.
Well I hope the rest of the week turns out better then this! Until next time…
Sucks about the mix up with the app-ppl can be weird. Hope tomorrow is a much better day.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry things got confused with the appointment. Those things happen. Hopefully it'll blow over soon.
ReplyDeleteBut onto the other news, it's great that you might be able to get off one of your bp meds! It really does show what a difference eating healthy and moving more can make. You're doing great, Katie, and you'll be med free in no time!
Hard work - those papers, cards, memories -
ReplyDeleteBut something we all seem to face sooner or later in our weight-loss journey. One thing at a time, eh?
The good thing is when we learn we can now do it without the drama - the bingeing, acting-out, procrastination.....etc.
I'm still working on it, too!
I'm sure they would let you get off one. :) My Dr said as you lose weight most people forget to lower or get rid of med until they are so tired they can hardly walk and wonder why. lol
ReplyDeleteCrummy Monday, but at least you got your hair cut! I got to stop taking my BP meds after about 50 pounds were gone so yeah, you are probably not needing them (or as strong of a dose, anyway). Good deal on that!
ReplyDeleteSorry you had such a bad day.
ReplyDeleteI hope tomorrow is better!
ReplyDeleteSorry for your sucky monday, but congrats on possibly getting off one of your meds!
ReplyDeleteYou got your haircut at the pharmacy?
ReplyDeleteSorry, I couldn't help but smile when I read that :)
Blood pressure is nothing to toy with, get the doctor's advice is the right thing to do.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the medicine needs to be adjusted.

Hi Katie. Oh dear! Really hope the rest of the week goes better for you.

Hi Katie,
ReplyDeleteYour blood pressure is actually really good. Old American Heart Association guidelines used to say that 120/80 was the best BP, but in the past few years they have revised it to 110/70 and now say that 120/80 is borderline hypertension!

monday's are teh worst! I agree with Sweet Tooth, I got mine measured last week and I was 109/70something and everyone says that that is amazing.
ReplyDeleteNow that sounds like a case of the Monday's. I hope that today (Tuesday) is better for you!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for kicking meds to the curb! :)
