Ok I have a spring and summer goals in mind. I would like to
finally get off my blood pressure meds, my new doctor really believes that I do
not need them for my blood pressure but agrees that I have an addiction to it.
I am done to 1/8 of the amount that I was on and my blood pressure is still
really good, and sometimes after my workouts it will go so low that it is in
the very low blood pressure range. I really believe that I am very close now to
getting completely off of it. I have talked with my doctor and my next step is
to take the amount I am taking now every morning every other morning for a week
or so and see how it goes. Then if everything still looks good to just stop
taking it. The key here is to monitor my blood pressure every day to be sure it
is still in the good range that she has set out for me.
My other goal for the spring and summer will be a lot
harder, I want to finally get down to where my doctor would like me to be and
that is about 190. My plan for this is not set in stone as of yet and will
mostly depend on how it goes with getting off the blood pressure meds, for I
really believe I will gain some when I am completely off of them. I do not plan
on going out of maintenance to lose the weight I just plan on it working out
from the plan I have been on for the last 2 years. My calorie budget per day is
2000 calories and I do my best not to eat into my burned calories. By eating
2000 calories a day my body should reach its set point. The set point is where
it is the healthiest weight wise. And as long as I can stick with my walking
and other exercises I should stay fit.
This is my plan and I am open for suggestions.
