Ok, so I'm losing the battle with the bulge. But perhaps it isn't all my fault. I have discovered that I am retaining fluid for some unknown reason. I've been to my doc and she's done many, many, many tests trying to figure it out. Since I've had my son last May, I have not been able to lose the pregnancy fluid I accumulated. As you know from my previous blogs, I'm still not back in my regular clothes. (I'm so tired of sweats, stretch pants and skirts, I could puke!) I've been placed on diuretics and haven't been compliant. (The first medication I was on dropped my blood pressure and I was near fainting! Needless to say we changed it immediately.) I went to see my doc the other day and she still wants me on the meds so I guess...I have to take them. I do have to admit they will take the water weight off. I lost 4 lbs in 2 days the first time and I've been able to keep off. I just don't like taking diuretics (water pills). They mess with your body's chemistry and after that 1st fainting episode, I'm REAL cautious.
As far as diet goes, I haven't done much change. I'd like to go back to Mediterranean style but...But what? There really is no 'but'. I don't have any excuse why I can't. Laziness I guess. Ok, so that means the next blog you read should say, "I've been really sticking to my Mediterranean style diet". LMAO! If you've been following my blogs you know that ain't' even gonna happen!!
Peace,
Nikki
