Notes - I broke the 220lb sound barrier this morning. I will not get too excited by this. I will likely have a re-gain. I have had zero appetite this week and eating has been difficult. When I am on nebulizers, my appetite completely disappears and I have to force eat.
When I have asthma flares, I don't like having a full tummy, cuz it makes breathing more difficult. So I end up eating things like brothy soups or light fare and salads with little protein. Protein is harder to digest when I have asthma. Don't know why?
My CRR schedule has been off the last two days! I had a second full day of tests for surgery: bloodwork, chest xray, EKG, and a surprise nuclear stress test. I had a normal response but the result was less than fun to hear, "The patient has extremely poor functional capacity for age."
I take that to mean, "This patient needs a spankin' for bein' so amazingly out of shape." Of course, I could be kind and mention that I also have asthma, lymphedema, have lost 55lbs during the last year alone and 95lbs officially, over the last 12 years, and overall bone/body pain from arthritis and anti-cancer drugs...but those are all cop-out excuses. I gotta get my butt in gear and get back to walking! Bottom line. The end!!!!
And 6+ years ago, my echocardiogram showed an elarged left ventrical with left ventricular thickening. And although I still show some thickening, I no longer show an enlarged left ventrical! So that's great news. And take that all you folks who think that low carb is a "killer", atherogenic diet! In fact, it's helped heal my heart. If they think I'm out of shape now, I shudder to think what they would have thought about me 55lbs ago or worse, 95lbs ago, when I could barely move!
So, I just need to say to myself, "Patience grasshoppah. All in good time. I will get there eventually!"
I had to eat today, even though I generally fast on Fridays for religious devotion. The nuclear stress test required me to eat and to eat carbs! Imagine! I asked if I could eat just a couple of hard boiled eggs and a half of a tomato, and they said, "No, that's not enough food. Maybe add a slice of toast to it and a glass of juice."
I answered, "I don't eat that stuff."
They replied, "You need to have at least a piece of toast and juice."
So I compromised. *sigh*
I had the guts from a breakfast burrito with 1/3 of the tortilla and 1/3c of grits with butter. Hell, if I'm gonna go down in flames, I am going to at least eat something that I love...(ahem, grits...and tortillas).
Then for lunch I got to eat low carb again. So I had a salad with a small scoop of tuna salad and bit of chicken salad, hummus, and marinated tomatoes and cucumbers, and pretended to ignore any mercury lurking in the depths of the tuna salad.
I was pooped today. Partly from sleeping 5 hours last night and partly from getting up at 5am and having 2 full days of medical tests and travel! Not to mention being radioactive. So I came home and have spent the late afternoon and evening napping. I pulled an lc pz skin from the freezer and made a quick pepperoni pizza. I'm too pooped to put the nutrition totals together and really, do not intend to. I don't want to be saddened by how gruesome they look.
I will just take this as a JUDDD UD (Up Day) and go back to a DD (Down Day) rotation tomorrow. Although I add low carb to JUDDD, it is perfectly "JUDDD legal" to have high carb or moderate carb UD. I will kindly call this day a "moderate carb day". LOL. It should be interesting to see my weight tomorrow. I'm expecting a 4lb bounce.
