Discouraged To Encouraged

Monday, September 15, 2025

Here we go again with another week.

Have to say I was pretty discouraged yesterday.  I didn't sleep well Saturday night, too many aches and pains and I was just off.  Didn't have a lot of pep yesterday and after golf I was trying to do some yard work and had one of those power outages where I just felt exhausted.  I haven't had a lot of pep period but it's been really depressing how quickly I get tired and how drained I am when these spells hit.  It makes me quite worried that there is a bigger problem.

I didn't feel great when I went to sleep last night, but I woke up in a better frame of mind.  I got six plus hours before I woke up and when I did nothing was hurting of note.  Snoozed a while, I certainly could have slept longer, but I got going without incident.

And then I was encouraged by a nice drop on the scale - despite eating potatoes at two meals yesterday and only nine holes - and I got another fabulous set of bp numbers.  I would love to be able to ditch the bp medication whenever my next appointment is.  We'll see, but that's two days in a row.  Feels good.  And I really was happy to see the weight go down in a bit of a bigger chunk.

Breakfast:   2 oz sharp cheddar, coffee

 

Last of the package of the Cabot seriously sharp.  I think I'll buy some more this week, I'll be heading to that store for the first time in a while. 

Lunch:  3 eggs sunny, Alexia hash browns in butter, 3 strips Meijer thick cut bacon

 

Excellent.  Let's see what happens if I have potatoes for lunch today too.  I really enjoy the Alexia hash browns, it's too bad the only place that carries them is quite a distance away.   

Dinner:  3 tacos mexican style plus avocado and jalapenos

 

Again.  Honestly 2 probably would have been enough (I used to get 4).  If I start paying with cash maybe I'll try just ordering two (since I'd be under the credit card minimum).

Exercise:  Nope.
