My Blood Pressure was NORMAL!

So, my blood pressure was NORMAL today when I went to the dr.  110/70!!!  That is what my pressure was like BEFORE I GOT SICK!   I'm thinking that I'm going to have to invest in a arm cuff reader.  Wallgreens online has them for under $50. Apparently the medicine is working.

I called the dr office (my primary, was at the ob this morning) and asked if I needed to worry about if its going to go lower and what I should look for for symptoms.   Light headed, dizzy blah blah.  All things my medication  has already been doing to me. BUT I do remember the yuck feeling that I was having when I was sick before, so I'll keep an eye out for those feelings.
Went to costco today.  Hubby had ONE request.  Breaded chicken patties.  *ugh* So, my cart was full of strawberries,tomatoes, avocados, spinach, eggs, shrimp, and motz cheese.  THEN there are the breaded chicken patties.  Its almost embarrassing.  Like when I go and buy pasta roni and crap that he wants.  *meh*  Its slowly becoming less and less that I have to mess with the pasta roni and stuff, but its still there.  I'm just glad I have no temptation to eat it. 
Sad that I couldn't find macadamia nuts again today.  Probably for the better, but I've been craving them.

I am amazed!!

I wasn't hungry when I got up today, walked down to the bus stop, came home and tried to read a few emails and ended up back in bed. Woke up to a phone call from my daughter letting me know that she was sick, so I asked if she could make it till her brother got home, because I was headed that way anyhow. Fell back asleep and then was woken up again by the lady who is working with us to do our short sale! *YAY*
Great stuff! I've got a pile of crap to print and sign, but its ok. It would be great to get rid of that. I'm tired of it hanging over our heads.

So~ NO food all morning,  scarfed about 5 bites of leftover hamburger and veggie mixture at about 1 and headed to immediate care because kids were sick, and cant get in to see our dr. Son has a rash, daughter has a virus. 3 hours in the dr office with two kids that were hungry... TOO MUCH! I thought I was going to go crazy. *sigh* BUT I never really lost it like I would have before.

BUT~ My whole point. I had ZERO feelings of low blood sugar. Very few feelings of actual hunger, and my blood pressure wasnt as high! *YAY*  138/88 is way lower than 157/98.  I really wasn't too hungry and came home, had some salad with avocado and then had a chicken sausage and some mashed squash with butter. Almonds and chocolate chips for a snack. I'm more than satisfied. Really, ready for bed.

Waiting for kids to go to bed first though.

Habit~ Its a good thing!

I have found that it is becoming habit for me to eat things that I have outlined for myself!!
I dont reach for the items in the fridge that are non primal, items that are not so good for me or have piles of sugar.  I dont choose to eat refined and processed foods.  I view everything I eat and cook as a way to fuel my body in ways its never been fueled before.  I know the carb counts of everything I eat, and know about how much of each item I can eat and how much I cant. 
I'm very pleased with myself.  I feel better and better.   We even went out to dinner tonight! I had a nom cob style salad from Red Robin with avocado, chicken, bacon, eggs, tomatoes and olives.  I had them leave off the blue cheese because its YUCK!

I've felt a bit woozy since starting my new medication.  It will get better I'm sure.  Its just that I have found that its hard to tell when I'm really needing food because it seems to mimic low blood sugar symptoms.  I haven't had those feelings for a VERY long time.  Not pleased.

Adding a new medication has made it difficult this weekend to get much of anything done.  I have to start sewing tomorrow to get a few items finished and start cutting out other items for my lil show/vending thing.  I've designs in my head and on paper already!

Must head to bed.  Its late, and even though I don't have to get up super early because Brocc doesn't have school, I would like to be out of bed before noon.
