I have decided to only update the blog once a week because it can become quite boring listening to what I eat every day etc., etc.. Last week being Thanksgiving what was I thinking about getting a doctors appointment. He always schedules labs for Friday but he was closed on Friday so I will get an appointment for Friday this week. I haven’t had any signs of too much potassium like funny or rapid heartbeats but I do want to make sure. Plus I really want to work on my blood pressure to try and get the top number lower. I am feeling quite well and happy, I am still tired but not as bad as I usually am. I had a few cravings for cigarettes this week but I am still wearing the patch. I am beginning to forget about the habit of smoking so I really think I can start to reduce the number of milligrams 21 to 14 in the patch. I pretty much stayed on my diet except for some animal protein, turkey and ham and since I could not control the portion size I ate all they served me. I only had 1 piece of cornbread however. Blood sugar is doing great I didn’t take my shot last night. I will keep you posted on my insulin. I am running short on nettle leaf but ordered some this weekend so it should be here next week. I only had one cup of coffee last week. I did however have some drinks but since stopped again. This weeks weigh in was the same as last week as my weight has not dropped but as soon as I see the doctor and run it by him that I want to reduce my intake of calories to 1000 per day I do not think I will drop much more weight. I am urinating more and more frequently and I hope that means my kidneys are responding to the treatment. I have gone from going once or twice a day to maybe 6 times a day. I have stopped getting up to urinate at night.
Hope you had a great week. Until next week…
