Sorry that my latest update is a bit late again. Tuesday is weigh day and this weeks weigh-day didn’t just have my weight at the heart of the session.

Last Friday whilst working from home I had a migraine again. It had been a bit of a week but nothing really untoward. As I sat here in front of my computer things started to go a bit odd with my vision. I noted that my peripheral vision had disappeared and I started typing gibberish (not in the same way as I do normally!)

It cleared up in about 40 minutes or so but I was left with a splitting headache which eased but didn’t go for a few days. Meanwhile I managed a cinema trip and a night literally on the pop (I was driving). 

I tested my Blood Pressure after the event. It was might be termed as flipping high. 196/101 was recorded on Friday afternoon. I had Monday off work just as I wanted some time off. I tried to call the doctors in the morning as they wouldn’t give me the time of day on Friday. I couldn’t get through so spent most of the day on the sofa. Eventually, with much cajoling from Alex I called them at about 4pm. The rang me back and I’ve been put on Amlodopine to try and bring it back down. So far and five days in, my BP is 136/96 so getting there!

I have had an iffy week with my health and I’ve been a bit worried about my lady friends health. We had been together for a month or so again and it has been quite lovely. However, she has decided to remain just friends and that I suppose is fine. 

The tale of the scale.

I must admit that I genuinely thought that I had a good week. No alcohol had been consumed this weekend and I hoped that it was a good week. There were a couple of slip ups food wise over the weekend however. I did have Fish ‘n Chips for Friday dins and Loaded Fries on Saturday night. So it wasn’t great but I had hoped that there would have been some sort of loss this week. 

Standing on the scales of doom however told a different tale. I didn’t lose and I didn’t gain. I managed a maintain this week which was a bit disappointing but then I should have expected it. 

To say that I’m still struggling is a bit of a misnomer but I bought a 12 week Countdown so I’m committed to the plan until April at least. 

The Plan….

It’s a case of just trying to remember to log things and keep an eye on syns. I certainly don’t plan on drinking again this week. If I do go out this weekend then it will be Diet Pepsi’s all the way.

I will also try to get out for a walk too. That has been missing from my schedule for such a long time. Even if it’s just the Thornhill mile then that needs to be done. They gym will be opening soon and that will also help. 

I’m aiming for a loss this week. Two pounds would do me fine to be honest, heck, half a pound would be great.
