Day 13- wow time flies!

i didn't even realize that so much time has passed. i have been so focused on work, working out, not fighting with the kid, looking for a solid job and eating ok that a week has passed since i was last here.

at least i am staying busy not sitting in front of the tv and making sure i am out doing things. going to the gym and just in general staying busy.

the blood pressure is up and down. not as bad as it was thank god but i can tell i am a long ways from where i need to be.

eating more hit than miss. one day at a time with my stomach. tonight for dinner...fish chowder. mmmm and healthy!

age: still the same (unfortunately)
bp: don't know
weight: don't wanna know
how i feel: like i hate winter

Day 6: nothing new

i worked out today. Yeah! 10 min on the treadmill and 15 on the elliptical. it actually was very hard and tiring. i just can't believe how week i am. but i am taking one day at a time and working towards being stronger.

also been really good about eating better. do have to say due to total laziness had pizza for dinner one night. but made up for it by having (mmmmmmm) crispy chicken salad. but i feel better. my blood pressure is down.

my heart....it still does a couple of skips, jumps, and, hiccups but if i just keep going to the gym it will not have a full on jump fest in my chest.

Day 3- good tired

I went to the gym today and did 10 min on the elliptical and 10 on the treadmill. I feel really good but tired and can't wait to go to bed tonight. still having problem with my stomach wanting to not let me eat anything but thats ok cuz i am doing shakes and soft foods so getting through the day.

funny side note: thought i was heating up mashed potatoes (soft foods) but it actually was egg salad. so i'm eating hot egg salad. little weird but what the hell.

no heart issues today. not even a glimmer!

i'm excited to go to the gym tomorrow!

Day 2- in the right direction

i feel better today already! i still can feel the balloon effect on the brain but it is less...if you don't count the headache.

little bit of trouble with the stomach today so could not eat very much. even had hiccups with cereal! but thats ok. had egg salad for dinner with protein shake so will get back to what i need.

no problems so far with the heart! cross fingers, legs, and anything else i can find. I did go to the gym and got a 7 day pass and i am meeting a personal trainer tomorrow for an hour. i will be buying a membership on payday.

so begins the sweatyness! yeah! i do love to work out you just wouldn't know it to look at me.

Day 1.1

still teary eyed. trying to not get to worked up about not having heart medication but its really hard. afraid to go to sleep tonight. my heart might decide to go galloping without me.

my heart hasn't even hiccuped today but my head feels super pressured and my hearing is off from high blood pressure. hoping it will lessen by tomorrow. not sure i could handle even a bit more psi on the brain.

good note. didn't sit around all day. went to granny's and the store. then went for a walk. really cold though and the wind was blowing so didn't stay out to long. actually my legs are tired from walking.

Lunch- some cheddar cheese and triscuts. not super hungry

for dinner- grilled salmon with onions and mushrooms, salad, and cooked spinach.

gonna try a new breakfast cereal recipe- TVP Oatmeal

Day 1- the scariest day

last night at 4 am my heart woke me up from and wonderful dream to another life scare. with no insurance and no new doctor since i moved here and really no way of getting the prescription to the heart medication i need, little to say, i was scared.

what to do...wait it out and hope my heart stops, not like that, but stops beating at 200+ minute, and vibrating in my chest?

it occurred to me during this moment that i could have prevented this moment.

if i choose to not lie to myself and quit caring more about the money (aka bills) and really worry about whats important in my life...the true thing i really own...my body. and the family i created.

so today is my first step to health. hopefully my blood pressure won't pop my brain and my heart will not try to kill me. how scary is that...to think i did this to myself...so stupid and vain, to think i would live forever being fat and unhealthy.

so the plan today is to get a membership to a gym. regardless of cost. and take a walk or maybe treadmill if i can do it.

breakfast- coffee, protein shake, and eggs.

still a little teary eyed...
