Fluid Retention

So the past few days I have been having trouble with retaining fluid by the end of the day. I am taking 160mg of Lasix and 100 mg of Spirolactone a day. I am going to keep a close eye on my sodium intake to make sure I am within my limits. Dont know if that is the problem or if maybe I need to be increasing my Remodulin. This illness is a day by day thing. You never know what its going to be like the next day. Sometimes the next hour you have no idea. I know one thing I am tired of never really able to plan ahead of anything. It seems that when I do I have to cancel cause I am not feeling well. I guess that has just become the way my life is now. I know I shouldnt complain there are so many people out there that have it so much worse than I do. I am thankful for all God has brought me through. I know that God is going to take care of me. Sometime I would just like to be able to do what I want and not have to deal with being sick. I guess there is always something we all want that we cant have.

Been A While

It has been a long while since I have posted to this blog. My goal is to start posting again on a regular basis. Since I started my weight loss journey two years ago I am down 60 pounds!! I still have a long way to go yet. Some say 60 pounds in two years is a lot and others say that isnt much. I dont really care what others are thinking just that I am on the right path now. It is coming off slowly and that is what I want. I dont want to lose weight really fast and then put it back on. I have done that before and I dont want to do that anymore. I want this to be a success and having it come off slowly works best for me. I am trying to work on finding out the reasons for being overweight in the first place. Ive heard just stop eating so much and you will lose weight. Yes, this is coming from people who dont need to lose weight and they just dont get it. I have a 5 yr old grandson who on some days eats more than I do. It isnt all about what you are eating. There are a lot of other factors to figure into it to. The only person I can change is me. Not my husband or kids only me. That is what I am trying to do. Some days I just want to give up and say it just isnt worth it. I know that just isnt an option for me. I need to keep going first and foremost for myself and for my family too. There is so much I cant do not only because I am overweight but because of health problems too. I know losing weight can help with my health problems. I am proud of the weight loss I have had and I am going to keep going until I am successful. This is going to be a life long battle as most of us have that same battle.
