What a day

Today was spent spending; that's the best way I can put it.  A trip to Walmart, CVS and Kroger.  I took my mom to church.  I consider myself to be a spiritual person but not religious so I don't attend mass.  I read out in the car while waited.

I had 3 gifts to make a get ready to ship out on Monday and got that accomplished along with making a little something for myself.   I have a few mopre things to learn with the sewing skills and then I am going to have some business cards made.  Between the sewing and the jewelry, I think I might be able to get something together and moving.  We'll see.

My food has been very good for the last 3 days and I have been to water aerobics and on the bicycle for the 2 of the last 3 days and have gained 3 pounds.  I'm pissed because I could see at least staying, but the gain has got me really depressed.  But I'm not going to cave in and go against my surgeons instructions.  They tell me I'm not losing because I'm not eating enough.  My blood pressure has been all over the place and Im gettng frustrated.  Right now it's very low, 100/46. 

I think it's time to take off the makeup and go to bed.  I Hope you all have a great evening.

Colleen it's good to hear you are out shopping and enjoying yourself. I haven't been able to do that yet and I realy need clothes because nothing fits but I don't care. Anything I buy I'll just have to discard in a month or two (I hope) and  I don't want to waste the money. I'll probably shop in June for summer clothes before we go on our vacation.
I wouldn't worry about the weight gain, it's probably just fluids. I'd be more worried about the low blood pressure. Does your doctor know about it? You should tell him ASAP. Blood pressure changes should not be taken lightly and that 46 worries me.
Take good care of yourself.

Colleen, sounds like you are in the right frame of mind.  Do not get discouraged.  Share pics of your projects, always love to see other's talents.

Take it easy with the orthostatic hypotension. 

I have been at work nearly as much as at home the last 3 days.  Planning a  good long sleep tomorrow, really this am.  Dennis is working day shift and will not be around to dusturb the sleep.  Rest well yourself.  Hugs

Don't let it get you down Colleen. I have been reading that exercise can cause our bodies to hold onto more fluid because the muscles need extra then, so it is probably all water weight. Just keep going, you are doing great. Be careful with that BP though! Check with your doctor and find out what's up with that. We don't want you passing out!
