Ugh. You and me sister. Go ahead and go to the doc. Controlling bp is

very important and you can monitor it as you eat healthy and exercise so you

can lower meds (with doctor's guidance) as needed. My bp was dropping too

low when I was down 19 pounds and exercising regularly. Unfortunately I

fell off the wagon and it jumped right back up. I'm not doing a good job

controlling my eating right now so I need to start exercising again to do

something positive for my health.

I'm stressed this week. I'm trying to get so much stuff done that was

neglected with my 2 trips. This weekend I'm making the 4 hour drive to

Dallas again to help my sister pack up her apartment. Next week I should

have some catch up time. I haven't even started on our taxes. STRESS! I

think I'll just file for an extension this year. I've never done that

before. I cashed out IRAs this year so we're going to have to pay through

the nose. BLECH!

Spring and Summer are easier for me in dieting, perhaps because I just naturally want to eat lighter. Hopefully it will be the same for you! Either way great support here, as you already know! Just keep trying and keep posting! (HUGS)

Faye,

Please go to the doctor. If not for yourself for your partner and those that care about you. This will the first step in taking better care of yourself. You need to either get on the move and get those numbers down or get on meds, don't mess around with this stuff.

We want you to stick around and have fun with all of us so I will be waiting to here about the date and time of your appointment (that means call now!)

Joyfully,Lee Ann

Faye make it a point to make that appointment. You can do it. Just because the scale is not moving you have been making better choices and that can do great things to your numbers.

The big irony of an extension? My understanding, when I worked at the IRS, is

you

still have to do a 'rough' of your taxes - /and pay/. It seems it'd just be

easier to go

ahead and do your taxes the first time out unless you've got something

outstanding,

or a loooooooooot of itemization to do.

Faye,

We can do this - I always start with good

intentions but so far ugh! I have gained more

than 1/2 of the weight back and am facing 300

(depending which way I wiggle on the scale) and I

need to take control - so far just the water and

even that is nowhere near the levels I used to

do. I made 6 minutes on the stationary bike

Monday - what a joke but it's a re-start.

I have another month or so before my next follow up. I did get my BP's down

into the 120/60-something range, but then life happened and they're up in

the 130's again. Probably when I return to my exercise schedule Monday (I

*hope* I do - this foot is aching really bad the past few days!) it'll go

down again.

>Eating well and exercise, I know could bring the numbers where

Exercise is *so* important in all 3 of those! I'm avoiding taking the new BP

med he prescribed just by getting in my exercise and finding activities I

enjoy doing for stress relief. Now I have some dirt to play in, those apron

patterns I finally got around to ordering came in, and with summer weight

fabric as cheap as it now is, I'm hoping to get a few Big Shirts made for

this summer, now that my neck neuritis is behaving itself so I can sit at

the machine again.

> So, it's spring, the weather has been beautiful,

Wait until next week! We're going to hit the 70's! To me, that's hot enough

and I wish it were like that for the whole summer.

Thanks for being here! We feel the same about your posts!
