pandasmom's Journal, 15 Oct 16

Dr. visit yesterday. She was very pleased with blood work numbers, I'm now in "normal" BMI range (even fully dressed, in fall clothing). BP medication cut in half. Might be able to reduce it more, but because it also controls my heart rate, she wants to take it one step at a time -- will see the cardiologist in January and if BP stays down, he may be able to adjust more at that time. I am really fortunate to have doctors that listen to me, work together, and don't want to do drastic things that may or may not work!! She even said that I didn't really need to lose any more weight, but I still think a few more lbs. won't hurt. And I need to start working on muscle now, especially on the arms -- pain in both shoulders have limited upper body exercise for the last month, but better now so I can start doing some weight work, but still need to take it easy so I don't re-injure them.

Yesterday was terrible diet-wise -- MH was honoree at a charity golf tournament and lunch consisted of hot dogs, chips, soda and soft ice cream! I had one hot dog, passed on the chips, found a bottle of water, and had a tiny bowl (condiment) bowl of ice cream. I did manage to keep calories under control, carbs under 100, but sodium was high -- drank more water when I got home and will watch the sodium for the next several days (I do not use added salt at home, so should be able to flush it out in a few days.) And it does make me feel good to know that his efforts are still remembered although he has been gone 2-1/2 years already!! My, how time has flown!!!

He must have been a good man, if he is being honored 2.5 years after passing!

That's worth a hot dog and ice cream. Nice group of people showing mercy and kindness as they pay it forward. WOW!

Thanks, everyone. He was a pretty good guy (after all, I trained him for 47 years!!! lol) and it is nice to have his work continue to be recognized. He never looked for recognition but was simply a "worker bee" who was always there to help when needed, and the benefactors of this golf tournament are the mentally handicapped, which was one of the programs he felt most strongly about.
