Feeling really tired....

Last night, after supper, I took my PGX, some kelp (to help my hair grow), and my furosemide. Furosemide is a diuretic medication that I was originally prescribed for my intracranial hypertension, was taken off of once I had a shunt put in, and then was put back on when my blood pressure was high. I have not had to take it in quite a while as my blood pressure had returned to normal and all was well. That said, my doctor said I could still take it if I found that I had a lot pf "puffiness". For years, my hands have swollen up, and often times my face looks "puffy" (a term my mum uses). Last night I was feeling a little on the puffy side so I took the diuretic hoping that I would feel better. And I did.

Then just before I went to bed I started feeling nauseous. I was ok a short time later, but then woke up rather queasy again this morning and have been so on and off all day. I am feeling really tired and weak today and thankful that  it's raining and I don't have to force myself to go for a walk. In all honesty, I would be perfectly happy curling up on the couch with a good book and a cuddle from my Vaeh.

For breakfast I had a 390 calorie breakfast of one sausage and one biscuit from Tim's. (The only reason being that I was on the road heading to a shoot and was starving). I also ordered a large tea with 2 milk and 2 sweetener, but I could only drink half (38 calories for whole cup).

Lunch was an individual can of yellowfin tuna in olive oil = 130 calories and approximately 30 wholegrain vegetable thins crackers = 200 calories.

I have been trying to drink all of my water, but this is rather difficult. I am 500ml in with a litre to go. If the water isn't ice cold, I simply can't do it. So, I have added some Crystal Light mix which makes my water intake  a little easier.

Supper... I cannot decide. It's just Nevaeh and I and I have about 750 calories left. I think I would like some wholewheat pasta with veg and chicken. This will certainly make Nevaeh happy as she loves all three. I think a stop at the grocery store will be in order on the way home.

P.S. Followers... keep your eyes peeled for an exciting new addition. I am hoping to add some video footage of weigh-ins, measurements, and work outs once my brother, Dustin Widger, and I start our daily work out regime.
