Since my main challenge idea (packing lunch for book deliveries instead of buying) is on hold for now, I came up with a new idea today. I'm going to pay myself for each pound I lose while fighting this "health thing" that's taken over my life lately. I have to weigh myself daily so that I can report to them if I've gained more than 2 pounds in a day, so I might as well get paid for it!
I've already lost 2 pounds since they prescribed the heavy-duty diuretic so I deposited $2 in my challenge fund today.
Good-bye pitting edema! LOL!

Also lifting some weight, you can start with soup cans, builds muscle tone to burn calories! Good Luck!!!!

Up until August I was at a good weight and I also exercised daily until they made me stop 4 weeks ago because my blood pressure was so high. I have a good supply of fitness equipment that I can't use right now.
So basically, I feel like I'm starting from scratch. I have to wait until they give me the go-ahead to begin to exercise again. I know all the nutritional stuff, but it sure didn't help when my weight began to spike in August. But then, I guess good nutrition doesn't combat pitting edema.
