I just cut into chunk sized pieces a granny smith green apple, put it on med-low heat with a squeeze of lemon juice(that way it wont brown) and cinnamon in a small sauce pan, and cook for somewhere around 10-15 minutes till its soft.

well michelle,
the odds are FOR me getting it lower. It is such a reality check on WHY Im doing this. She is really proud of my progress, as am I, but it almost depresses me to know I 'may' have to be on this for the rest of my life. I guess Ive always been resistant to the idea of drugs. Dam genetics. gee thanks mom and dad!( aw, i love em)

Setback. Sort of. My afternoon in a wheelchair.
Not any problems with eating luckily. In fact I havent eaten since my last entry. I embarrassed myself at my D's school. Ohh man, thank goodness for the kindness of strangers!
I was standing there, outside the school, talking to my other D, and ALLL of a sudden BAM! I fell to my knees. I kinda scraped them a bit, and one hand, but it was because both my blood pressure and my pulse dropped in like a minute's time. I started sweating profusely, sick at my stomach, and all the noises around me got to sounding really strange like in a tunnel.I was horribly thirsty.
I tried to get up, and as I did, as asked older D to get Younger D from the class line. I attempted to walk to my car, when BAM, down I went again right on my butt and right in the dirt. Next thing I knew a teacher and the school nurse were helping me into a wheel chair. I was soo disoriented. Nurse thought I might be diabetic and handed me some juice. MMM, that helped a lot. After a few calls, I got a ride to the doctor's and we found that the meds were too much. Good news is, BP is normal. Bad news is, my pulse couldnt subsist a corpse apparently.
Anyways, Im laying here in my bed, because it takes 1-2 days for this crap to wear off, then its on to yet another combo of drugs. So Doc said follow same routine for walking and eating but only as my body feels up to it. I feel like somebody hit me with a mac truck, cuz just walking to the bathroom is a freaking chore.
Ok enough whining. IM NOT OUT OF THE RUNNING YET< IM EVEN MORE DETERMINED TO LOSE!!!!!dangit.

Kate you CAN Do this! I am so sorry your BP medication isn't sorted out yet and that they are struggling to balance this. I can't fathom what a chore it is messing back and forth with medicatoins!
So I hope things get settled for you soon. I'll be thinking of you. but it is a good driving force for you to keep the weight journey going! I can't imagine if you lose this weight that you wouldn't be taken off the BP medication. Keep it up!!! You are reallydoing great, particularly having to deal with the medication mess in addition to weight loss challenges!

well newleaf, tomorrow is another day. I at least got 3 miles in, and calories are in check. Im just scared a little, because Ive been through all this before with last pregnancy.Glad I cant have babies now, thats for sure.
Either Im so high I could stroke out, or so low Im clinically dead. Yippee.
Just bummed about what the next few days may hold.
So I figured well..as long as I can continue to eat well, keep those cals down, walk the moment I feel well enough to, and keep drinking my water, itll pay off.
I sure appreciate the encouragement. More than you know.

Hey SkinnyK,
Sorry to hear about your high BP. I just wanted to let you know that I recently bought a copy of the "Natural Cures" book and it has some info on how to lower BP without prescription med's. If you want to know what it says about it, let me know.
Looking good sista. Talk to you later.
