Had a visit with one of my doctors yesterday. According to her scale, I'm down to 202 lbs. That's a drop of 16 pounds in 4 weeks (136 lb in 9 months). That's the good news. However, at my current weight, to lose that much per week, I'm clearly dropping muscle as well as fat now (especially since I've been gaining body water pounds.) Its her opinion that I definitely need more caloric intake, which is problematic, since my Nephrologist wants me to limit protein. But, at my current level of exercise (I'm burning over 3,000 Kcal per day), I need to take in more like 1,600 - 1,800 calories per day instead of 600 - 800. Logically, I knew that, its just scary to try to mess with a diet plan that has been so consistently successful. In the end though, its time to start moving slowly towards an end game; easing towards a permanent maintenance eating plan. So, I'll be raising my caloric intake, while trying to limit high-glycemic carbs and excessive protein. It'll probably take some tinkering, but I'm sure I can figure it out eventually. Another kind of good problem arising from the weight loss and exercise is that despite having cut out one of my blood pressure prescriptions several days ago, my BP was 81 over 53 at the doctor's office. So, I'll have to monitor that and possibly get my cardiologist to cut some of my other BP meds down, as well. Anyhow, I hope that everyone has a great week.
