Week 12

This week has been a long week.  I am so tired I think I could just fall asleep all the time.  But you don't want to hear all about that.  I am so close to losing 100 pounds.  Just 4 more pounds to go.  And since I am so close I keep on going to the gym to weigh myself.  The plus side is I exercise more.  The downside is the scale has not changed in a week.  It is so frustrating!!! But I have to be patient.  It will go down in its own time.  

I also adjusted my blood pressure meds this week.  I am hoping that my blood pressure goes back to normal soon.  I cannot stand being dizzy and tired all of the time.  Hopefully now that I am on the lowest dose I can get off of them soon.

As I sit here eating my stew that I heated up I am reminded why I should not eat while I am distracted.  Whenever I get full I can feel it.  I have a little bi of pressure between my rib cage.  If I eat to much I get all stuffed up and a have a runny nose or the dreaded hiccups.  Thankfully today I am just stuffed up when I get the hiccups it feels like my stomach just wants to rip itself out of my chest and it is very painful.  So I usually make myself eat with no distractions.  Mindful eating is what they call it at the clinic so I do not have this problem.

Finally,  I had a funny but painful eating experience.  I cracked one of my teeth eating a raisin.  I am still waiting to here if my benefits will cover the entire cost of the tooth or if I will have to pay for it.  Hopefully they will cover it.
