15 lbs in 5 weeks...

I've lost 15 lbs in 5 weeks, my electrolytes that were off were mucho better... but sadly my blood pressure raised a bit... so I am back on a new BP medicine... I will have to go buy a cuff to check my BP since the last time it went too low and I passed out...

I've been sticking to my low carb eating, and I have been keeping super busy... so busy, I don't have time to blog...as I had planned.  That's the problem for me in my life, I have weeks I can blog every day - then I have months I can't even write a good email to a loved one for the lack of time.

Buying a Blood Sugar Meter

I'm going to buy a blood sugar meter... just for my own sanity, as well as, ketone sticks... Hopefully, my doctor will provide me with a prescription for the meter sticks, so I don't have to pay the outrageous cost of those little sticks... as IF... they rake in the money on people's illnesses - I imagine in another country they cost pennies...

Oh well... off my soap box...

So... I'm going to start checking my blood sugar in the mornings just to see if my way of eating and exercise are lowering it all sufficiently... if not, then I will be forced to start seeing a dietician...

I've lost weight... but won't know the exact poundage until Monday morning...

I'm excited...
