Wow, I gained a lot of weight! I make it sound like a lot, but 2.2 lbs is quite a lot for a week. I have almost not exercised at all this week because it was too hot. And I made some lemon ice cream (Diet Doctor recipe) and I ate it a few times. Maybe that explains it. Also I am in maintenance, so my weight has to go a couple of pounds up and a couple of pounds down.
And of course, when I gain weight, my blood pressure decreases. I hope there is not an inverse relation between the two. However, back when I was 180 lbs, my BP was not significantly lower and I still had to take 2 meds.
It seems that my body got slightly used to the heat, because my BP got lower this week, but still with a high pulse -- in the 130s on Sunday, but 120s during the week. Today: 110/72, with a pulse in the normal range for me (77). I hope this is not a fluke! And it is not as hot today, which is a relief!
I am a strange one, but I am not a big fan of high temperatures with humidex. Plus I don't have AC and I have to work from home. This might be a long summer if temperatures get over 30C (around 90F) with 40C+ humidex (over 100F) often. But then again, summer does not last that long around here. And I like sunny days, hot or cold. The humidity is what I don't really like. I can ride it out, especially since the windows at home (that I rent) are not suitable for a AC setup. Thankfully, I have many fans!
I am still waiting for a call for the embolization. It is supposed to be in a few weeks, but I don't know the exact date. This would be useful to know in advance for work planning, but what can I do? I will have to take whatever the hospital gives me.
Times flies fast, already the end of May! Have a good weekend people!
