Been eating well. Could have lots more veggies and less GF carby snacks (salty!). Getting a little more water, still not enough. Working long hours, will work Saturday morning. Packing this weekend for J's (my nephew) graduation. Hotel has mini fridge and a microwave...yipee! Taking fruit and almond milk to make my protein shakes in the morning. Salad own dressing cause I'm sure salad will be my only option on some meals. And maybe gluten free soy sauce, cause I know we are having chinese one night at J's request...I will have steamed rice, steamed veggies and some chicken....that's the plan anyway. Taking my medicine ball, 20 lb kettlebell, foam roller, sliders and maybe my small footstool to do jumps and dips with.

Worked out last night and got rid of a lot of stress. My last exercise was crunches on the ball (those inflatable ones) with the 25 lb bulgarian bag around my neck. OMG! Felt that immediately!

Off to work then chiro after. Went Monday after work. Had headache all day after Sunday workout (think I overdid it), migraine 2 a.m. that night/morning, headache all Monday, migraine Monday night, headache most of Tuesday, and went away Tuesday night. Chiro doc said my neck was bad...which is why I go back again today. So glad I'm doing this before the trip!

I have been MIA for a week or more....so this is a long post! Ever since I quit job 2, I swear...I still don't have any time to myself! Had a family function last weekend that went longer than normal, which pushed the grill out with my neighbors to Sunday, then did my normal clean the gym/workout/laundry/clean house on Sunday then grilled out at 8pm! Monday after work was getting meds from my mom's doc who is 45 minutes away (ridiculous!). Then worked some overtime and dealing with my mom's car. Took her to the grocery for a few things last Friday and the brakes were going to the floor to stop. My aunt and I got it to the shop Tuesday night. Found out new day all the brake lines needed replaced. He said there were original lines and rusting apart so when he touched them, they crumbled in his hands. Yippee...so now I get to figure out how to get the car back to her today. My nephew stayed all night last night. I've been promising him for 2 weeks we would work on making a jewelry box for his mom for xmas...gotta get started on that. Supposed to take my other nephew for driving lesson tomorrow night around 6.

Oh, I'm going to talk w/bestie some time today about the trip to see other nephew graduate basic training. I plan on taking my workout stuff and packing a lot of my own food and snacks. NO WAY am I eating 'complimentary' processed breads (gluten) for breakfast or all the takeout that they want to eat and be swollen and miserable for 5 days away from home. NO FREAKIN WAY. So I need to find out if the hotel has a mini fridge in our room or figure out a way to take a cooler and load it up with ice a couple times a day. I want to take greek yogurt, fruit, my protein powder and ninja blender to make protein shakes. I may even prepare each shakes dry ingredients into ziploc snack bags. I'm taking my own coffee grounds cause I think the rooms have coffee makers (that's kinda standard now, right?), and I am taking gluten free pretzels, trail mix and some other GF snack I have come across. I think I may even take my own salad dressing because I'm sure where ever we go, that's probably what I will end up eating. I love my extended family and my bestie does what she can to accommodate my eating habits, but there is no way I can eat the stuff they want to eat. There is a night planned to eat at a chinese buffet. No clue what I'm gonna go. Plain rice with steamed veggies? Buffets are NOT good. UGH! I'm gonna email a fellow kettlebeller who packs all her own food for her frequent travels for work to see what she does. She's very muscular and has done a couple of women's bodybuilding shows...which is incredible considering she started at Swing maybe 6 months before me...I think.

My new job...is fantastic! I love it! I get the feeling that they are very impressed with me. A couple of people in other departments have said they heard great things about me and how I am detailed and catch things that others miss. My boss hasn't had time to do my 60 day review from last week, but pulled me aside and said he is very happy with me as is my lead and if I have any concerns or questions, let him know. But he wanted to make it clear he is very happy with my work. :-D

This past week I have been eating the leftover italian salad and potato salad from the grill out for lunches, the leftover burgers for dinner and protein shakes for breakfast. I had watermelon and peanuts for snacks. Killed some caramelized onion hummus with GF pretzels. Had chicken/veggie potstickers in ginger/orange sauce with jasmine rice one night. Met a friend for dinner Thurs night for mexican...should have had the corn tortillas, but couldn't get past my flour wrapped chimichanga and beer....both full of gluten and I payed with swelling the next day like I knew I would...I'll get there...baby steps. So overall not bad, but not enough water or veggies this week. Oh, I had a whole can of garbanzo beans for a snack Wed night...haha! I want to make roasted chick peas this weekend. Found a couple recipes. My nephew may be interested in making them too, he like cooking and making things.

This weeks meals will be a broccoli salad, protein shakes, and regular salads. Will do some boiled eggs and garbanzo beans for protein on the salads. Really want to find some bean sprouts. Whole Foods didn't have any! Bah! My local health food store is supposed to hold 2 loaves of Paleo bread for me when it comes in (coconut and almond), but I haven't received a call yet and it's been 5 days. Hope it's just late getting there and they didn't sell out. I will be very upset.

Anyway, I still haven't had time to read how everyone is doing, and I really want to tonight or tomorrow.

It's official....I am OFF BP meds! My BP was 108/82...too low and my pulse was 62. Woot Woot!! Ha! I am so freakin happy! I told my doc I would like to get of the cholesterol meds next. He said I would probably always have to take them cause he would like my LDL below 100 (it's at 119) and that not many people can get it down like that...I assume he means once they have been put on the meds. So I accepted that challenge! Said I would do it and he said, good...prove me wrong! He was very excited about the progress I have made in just one year. I have eliminated 2 medicines and cut a 3rd in half. That is my next goal. Kill the statin med. I've read so much about them and how they can counteract good healthy practices and hide/cause other issues. UGH!

So tonight, I also took my mom to the grocery since I got out of work early...no Saturday this week...yay! That tested my patience. I did better than usual, but still barked at her a lot. When I got done, I was so hungry and I didn't want to get anything from the store or any drive thru. Told her I wasn't eating any crap cause that's not what got me where I was today...dropping my BP meds. I didn't feel like cooking and I grabbed my beer while at the store (I really wanted to crack one open while with her...I probably would have been nicer). So I was kinda bad, but not like I normally would have done. I've had 2 beers and hit hot head burritos for my rice/bean/chicken bowl. I feel swollen already, but I don't care right now. I could have done much worse from stressing with my mom but held it together not to go too overboard. AND I can sleep late tomorrow morning!! So I am actually relaxing for the first time in a while. Hell, I even stressed when I had friends over to cookout on Sunday cause I was running behind. UGH!

Anyway...I will read how everyone has been doing in the a.m. Can't wait cause all of you....my buddies...are so full of positive energy and I love hearing all the wonderful things you do!

This weekend is all about getting more veggies in my diet. I'm doing decent on protein, facs, carbs (not ideal) but need more fiber (soluble and insoluble). This means more salads, fruits and add some beans...chick peas! Love em!

I sent an email to my boss at job 2 asking is tonight could be my last night. I'm over the hurdle of switching jobs and have plenty of OT on job 1 now. No need to exhaust myself.

I have a doc appt tomorrow. Gonna ask if we can kick the BP meds and perhaps the cholesterol too. I've been getting light headed again during workouts the past 2-3 weeks. This is what happened last time when I my BP lowered from the changes I was making. Fingers crossed!!

This weekend should be my last 'crammed' weekend. Especially since I can come home and prepare something for dinner instead of having it all pre-made on the weekend. This is good and bad however. When I pack all my food for the day, that is what I eat. There is no veering from the choices, cause there was no time. Now, I can get myself into trouble. Now I test my determination and make the choice of what I REALLY want. Though I have enjoyed not being swollen from fast food or sluggish and listless from gluten, I can't see voluntarily changing that.

Have my cousin's kids bday this Saturday. I know there will be next to nothing that I can eat. I think I will plan on a kick ass salad that others would be jealous of. There is no excuse to not be prepared for this..unless I work Saturday morning. If that's the case, I hit a salad bar on the way home, and use one of my own dressings. I don't care what any of them think of me bringing my own food. I'm the one who has to deal with the aftermath of eating processed foods.

Doh! Gotta get to bed early tonight. 9 hour shift and doc appt. Wish me luck on kicking the meds!!
