How can someone on a starvation diet, low salt, low carb, no sugar, drinking only water, gain two pounds walking thirty minutes a day and sleeping five hours?
I look at that question and suppose that a better question is how can anyone choose to live that way? The answer is quite simple. I don’t. My blood pressure even jumped twenty points overnight!
It is so frustrating. I have lost twenty pounds and my clothes all still fit. There seem to be no real benefits from this lifestyle change at this point.
Frankly I feel like kicking something. I just don’t know what to kick and my toe hurts! If I could sleep, I’d go back to bed. If I could eat, I’d go out to breakfast. If my joints were better I’d even go walk some more, because I sure can’t cut the calories any lower than they are and hope to be healthy. All I can do is drink water and not eat.
According to the Mayo Clinic, if I keep doing the right things, the right results will appear so I dig in and persist. I have one chance on April 2nd to prove that I have been eating right for the past weeks when they do the blood tests before my doctor appointment the following week.
It is like training for the Olympics in health and I’ve never been much of an athlete. I am much more of a reader and writer, but that has been a struggle lately too. It’s hard to concentrate when your right eye won’t focus and you are hungry all the time.
Anyone who says eating healthy and losing weight is not work is lying, either to themselves or me.
