Health and Weight

Today I am trying something new – I am creating my post in Word to put on both blogs. The updates are something I’d post to both and this will make it easier, I think. This is just a quick update to kinda where I am – I have so much to blog about on my health but it’s all going on the pathway page.

I ‘ve seen my doctor again – June 9 to be exact. I had gained 17 pounds and it was obvious that it was all fluid in my legs. Reason for that, off and on meds so much because of the other problem. Somehow, related or not, taking all of my meds (both blood pressures and the diuretic) seemed to make the bleeding so much worse. Now, the doctor didn’t understand why that could be happening, but he wasn’t too worried about the gain since it was all fluid and would come off soon enough. This is a process of getting a problem resolved and I will not be too discouraged.

I am so enjoying the CSA box I get on Wednesdays. Last week we had snow peas, new potatoes, broccoli, lettuce, green onions, white radishes (and boy were they hot) and another quart of strawberries. I have enjoyed every single morsel!! And really looking forward to today’s box – I believe we will have squash and maybe even some green beans!!

My grocery shopping two weeks ago has done well. I did buy a couple of Healthy Choice dinners for the “I’m tired” night that works much better than stopping at McDonalds!

Now, is there a twelve step program for McDonalds? I do believe I am addicted – I will wake up in the morning thinking that a sausage egg mcmuffin would be great for breakfast – especially since they are only $1.00 right now.
