Gained a pound. I have noticed that my weight works like investments in the stock exchange (without any new addition of capital), but in reverse: I have a couple of very small losses, then large gains, with an overall gain in a longer period. Ten or eleven years ago, I used to weigh something like 135 lbs! However, I also weighed a bit over 180 lbs 4 years ago. This makes me realize how important weight monitoring is.
I did snack this week, about the same amount as last week, but not the same things! Last week, I finished some homemade low-carb ice cream with nuts inside. This week, I ate some nuts, cheese puffs and some small low-carb cookies bought online. My guess is that the low-carb cookies have more carbs than the rest and they are not homemade. My breakfast and lunch remained the same (eggs/cheese/bacon or keto coffee for breakfast; ground beef mixed with mushrooms for lunch). I also ate some chicken wings two evenings in a row.
My blood pressure was higher last Sunday, but otherwise it was normal all week. Still glad I don't need to have my medication dosage increased!
I have my appointment for my first shot of vaccine tomorrow! I picked in the Quebec appointment registration system the same vaccination centre my friend got his shot on last Sunday. The earliest appointment I was able to pick up was one for tomorrow in the afternoon. My friend got Moderna, so I hope I also get this one, or Pfizer if they have it. They said in the news that there are no more AstraZeneca vaccines left, but I still saw some "AstraZeneca 45+" notices for some vaccination centres. I just hope that where I am going, they don't have some AstraZeneca left and pressure me to take it! Based on my latest blood test, my mean platelet volume is higher than normal, but my platelet count is on the low side, so I don't want to be exposed to the rare side effect of blood clots caused by viral vector vaccines.
Today is the darkest and the rainiest day of the week, and this week has been pretty overcast and rainy! It is supposed to get a bit better tomorrow, which is both Mother's Day and the day for my first shot! I can't wait!
