115/65 this morning. What a difference! Just changing the time when I take my blood pressure meds made a huge difference in my morning reading. This is the lowest reading I've ever gotten after just rolling out of bed. That is usually when I am at my highest. I sure hope it lasts. I feel better. No feeling of pressure in my head or headaches. I feel much calmer too. When I started taking the Lisinopril my readings were good and then all of a sudden they started going up, up, up so I hope that doesn't happen again. I like this feeling of calm.
I'm not thrilled about the a few of the side effects of this drug. Actually, there is only one that I don't like. It's the swelling or rapid weight gain. Just what I need! Swelling or rapid weight gain. Kill me now. I will try and counteract these effects with healthy food choices and exercise(a la Fucking Agreement). I know Richard would tell me to ignore these things and keep working hard so that's what I'm going to do.
I'm off from work today (Yay!) and I am going to Joy's early yoga class so I need to eat a little something now so that I won't crash after class and eat everything in sight when I get out. I do need to stop and get some groceries when class is done and I've noticed that when I don't eat breakfast I have absolutely no will power to say no to things in the market so I'm off to grab a small bowl of oatmeal. That should hold me until I make it home with fresh fruits and veggies for lunch.
I also need to get in a cardio workout today so I'm thinking that a little Disco Sweat or Party Off The Pounds (Hi Laura) is in my future. I'm outta here....
