Again that 2-pound variation, this time a weight gain. It was predictable because I have had more appetite this past week compared to the previous one.
I even made (and ate!) a tiramisu-like type of cake from an online recipe. Very good, but there was too much salt (1 teaspoon!) in the recipe. And I made the mistake of adding a bit of cherry extract even though the recipe does not call for any extract... I thought it would be a perfect match with the chocolate, but instead it tastes funny. Still a good cake. Next time I make it, I will add only a quarter of a teaspoon or so, and no cherry extract, maybe some vanilla extract or none at all.
My morning blood pressure has gone back to the 110s systolic, even below 110 sometimes! Also 60s or 70s diastolic. I still do not dare taking a reading in the afternoon or evening. Whenever I have a BP reading taken at a health establishment, it is always very high (150s to 160s systolic, 99-100 diastolic). The only exception to date was when I underwent my fibroid embolization at the hospital; it was in the 130s systolic before and during the procedure and even went into hypotensive territory right after (below 100/60 plus low pulse), which scared the medical staff! At least I survived and my BP eventually went back up.
Weather-wise, it has been nice and sunny since the last couple of days, and it still is. It is even abnormally warm for the month of November (up to 15-20 C -- 60-70 F), usually it is below the freezing point at this time of the year. Of course all the snow that fell last week has thawed a long time ago! I have heard that a very snowy winter is coming up in my area; I guess I will see in January.
