All is well and there is nothing major to report. I know that some of you worry when I don't publish regularly. Usually, that is because I don't have anything to say. (I know that is a very unusual state for me!)
I had to take a torsemide (lasix) the other day because my weight started to increase about a pound a day for a couple days. That bled off about 5 lbs of water and my weight jumped back to where it had been, and a few pounds below. So far, it looks as though I may need to take one of those every couple weeks (with potassium, too.) I hope the interval among these pill takings increases. I don't see any obvious correlates with water retention. Perhaps it is a function of heart weakness. Or maybe it occurs when the sodium amounts go out of bounds.
Having trouble at restaurants where I don't have a published nutrition list ahead of time, so that I can figure what is low sodium. Obviously there are some general guidelines: bread is usually a no-no; as are processed meats. In general, I figure I can go off the rails a little at lunch as long as I cut down my sodium intake for the rest of my meals. In some cases--a large hamburger--not possible. Of course, the published nutritional guidelines are associated primarily with chain restaurants. And, many of our good (?), little places here don't know the nutritional values of what they are serving. Really, if this is one of life's little problems it is not worth mentioning, no?
Workouts are going well. Seeing some definite toning and some new development, too. Actually look forward to them now.
Really, it's all good and there is nada mucho to say.
