Wow, I lost the 3 lbs gained last week! Not too sure why, as I still snacked a bit (maybe not as much) this week and I ate the same food as usual. I did not have as much takeout food this week, which may partly explain the loss. My period also started earlier this week, but I don't think I lost that much water weight. At least my body seems to be going in the right direction.
My morning blood pressure has been fine all week, the highest systolic being 120. The diastolic remained pretty stable in the low/mid 70s. For some reason, my BP rises when there is a heat wave or when the outside temperature is 30C/86F or higher. Optimal BP for me is when it is 25C/77F or lower outside, but I can't control the weather. Maybe it's just my body getting older.
I was finally able to rebook an earlier appointment for my second dose of COVID vaccine! My new date is on July 4 (impossible to book earlier) and I am supposed to get Pfizer once again, but there is a Pfizer supply shortage coming up in Canada for the entire month of July. Also, people who got AstraZeneca as a first shot are recommended to request Pfizer or Moderna for their second dose. Plus, I have read some stories about women experiencing menstrual issues after getting Moderna. So in short, I am worried that by the time my appointment comes up there won't be any Pfizer shots left, that I will get Moderna instead and that I get period problems afterwards. Or maybe nothing will happen because Pfizer and Moderna are the same type of vaccine (mRNA). I will have to wait and see.
