mines Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 You're doing great on your new lifestyle journey :) so happy for you. It's so difficult to make lifestyle changes, even though it's "one day at a time" it's still hard! Especially during this holiday season when temptations seem to be on every corner. Happy to hear about your progress!!! You rock!!! 1 Link to comment

Seraphim Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share Posted December 5, 2019 I am tired of green leafy things. Link to comment
ThatwasThen Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Then have something that you really enjoy. You are allowed to live after all. Just don't do it everyday but do give yourself permission to have something other than green, leafy for a change. Link to comment

Hopefully that helped the carb intake. Link to comment

Seraphim Posted December 21, 2019 Author Share Posted December 21, 2019 Blood pressure still lower than what the dr wants on half the meds but I feel better on half. 111/67 today. Link to comment
Seraphim Posted December 31, 2019 Author Share Posted December 31, 2019 [video=youtube_share;3DxS-CIJFj8] I made this soup. I remember being on this type of “ diet “ in the 80’s. Anyway the soup was really delicious but I added curry to it which made for a really nice flavour. I could eat it forever. Link to comment

Seraphim Posted December 31, 2019 Author Share Posted December 31, 2019 Why does he have you on blood pressure meds if your blood pressure is that low? Because I almost had a stroke it was 190/145. Link to comment
ThatwasThen Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Because I almost had a stroke it was 190/145. Well, I'm no doctor but your BP is at fainting level now. (at least for me anyway. At that low, I would be rather light headed) However, if you feel okay then who am I to question it. Happy New Year, Seraphim. Link to comment
