Holy crap I lost 2 lbs! Guess I ate less of it (crap, that is) than usual!
My sister was the host for our Christmas Eve dinner and I was able to eat pretty much keto/low carb friendly. It was really good. I made a keto cheesecake, which unfortunately my mother did not seem to like very much. I say unfortunately because her birthday was on Christmas day. At least she liked her gifts!
I was experiencing some trouble with my oldish car (about 10 years old), but it was mostly about getting the car doors closed in the cold. Unfortunately on my way (but still far from) home in the middle of the highway, my car died. So I am in the process of getting a new (but expensive for my budget) car, because my little town is less walk-friendly than I thought! What does not help is that the guy in charge of financing in the dealership I was able to walk to is a jerk and I am stuck dealing with him until I actually get the car.
All this unnecessary stress certainly did not help with my blood pressure reading because it was very high yesterday morning! Close to 140 systolic compared to 110-ish before, higher pulse than expected, but it still surprised me. I was afraid to take a measurement this morning. I will have to take it again at some point because, just like my weight, if I stop monitoring my blood pressure for too long, it goes high no matter what I do to control it (and I never forget to take my medication, I take this very seriously). It is frustrating because I can't always have my medication increased every few months or I'll be dead by age 50, which I would rather avoid if possible.
Well I should stop complaining, because the new year is coming up and I am on vacation!
Happy new year everyone! :)
