It's official....I am OFF BP meds! My BP was 108/82...too low and my pulse was 62. Woot Woot!! Ha! I am so freakin happy! I told my doc I would like to get of the cholesterol meds next. He said I would probably always have to take them cause he would like my LDL below 100 (it's at 119) and that not many people can get it down like that...I assume he means once they have been put on the meds. So I accepted that challenge! Said I would do it and he said, good...prove me wrong! He was very excited about the progress I have made in just one year. I have eliminated 2 medicines and cut a 3rd in half. That is my next goal. Kill the statin med. I've read so much about them and how they can counteract good healthy practices and hide/cause other issues. UGH!
So tonight, I also took my mom to the grocery since I got out of work early...no Saturday this week...yay! That tested my patience. I did better than usual, but still barked at her a lot. When I got done, I was so hungry and I didn't want to get anything from the store or any drive thru. Told her I wasn't eating any crap cause that's not what got me where I was today...dropping my BP meds. I didn't feel like cooking and I grabbed my beer while at the store (I really wanted to crack one open while with her...I probably would have been nicer). So I was kinda bad, but not like I normally would have done. I've had 2 beers and hit hot head burritos for my rice/bean/chicken bowl. I feel swollen already, but I don't care right now. I could have done much worse from stressing with my mom but held it together not to go too overboard. AND I can sleep late tomorrow morning!! So I am actually relaxing for the first time in a while. Hell, I even stressed when I had friends over to cookout on Sunday cause I was running behind. UGH!
Anyway...I will read how everyone has been doing in the a.m. Can't wait cause all of you....my buddies...are so full of positive energy and I love hearing all the wonderful things you do!
