Carb-less

So I'm back on restricted carbs (voluntarily, I add) and already I've noticed an increase in energy and 'good mood' throughout my day. I do love that side effect. It makes up for missing milk shakes and hash browns. :)

Had a check-up yesterday whereby my Doctor upheld my decision to stop taking high blood pressure medicine (I was 'borderline' when he talked me into them). BP is back down to normal levels as I have suspected for a while. I'd been meaning to get in to have that check-up for a few months - those little 'check your BP' stations at the gym aren't bad but they can only be trusted so far. I like being my age and only taking an iron supplement as a daily pill. :)

And my biggest pair of jeans are falling off of my hips. LIterally. I think I like that even if they are my newest pair. I'm wearing them today in a farewell gesture of good will. Assuming I can stand to go the whole day hitching them up every time I walk, that is. I think I'll keep them in my closet to try on every once in a while, just for fun.
