Weight dropping again...finally...
I'm still not down to where I was before hubby left, thanks to my menstrual cycle, however, I AM almost back down. Only 1 pound to go...or was only 1. Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
I was drinking a dandelion root tea mixture to help get rid of excess water weight. It helped a lot. I'm down 3 pounds in three days. My cycle should be over by tomorrow too...so whatever weight is left, will be gone within a day or 2...depending on if I behave with my eating along with continuing the tea mixture.
I drank some cran-raspberry slim tea tonight. Everything should be moving along before morning. Once the food in me comes out.........my weight will again drop.
Its a waiting game I don't like to play. If I had my way, I'd already be down in the 140's again....but thanks to my cycle....that didn't happen. I WILL FIGHT to get there again though. I just have to be very careful & hide any loss below 152 with sweatshirts or something. It seems the second I drop below 153, all radars go off, and I'm being asked 100 questions!
Today my BP was pretty low too. It was about 86/65 with HR of 96-101. I felt dizzy all day. Kids were upset that I didn't feel safe enough to drive. I told them if I passed out, C has to call grandma.
Not sure why my bp was so low today. I guess I need to up my salt intake again for the next few days. I've been eating, so I know that's not the problem...AND I haven't had hypoglycemic attacks either in a while...so its simply really low bp. Hopefully I can find a way to keep it regulated so I can stop getting so dizzy where I feel I might pass out! UGH!
I'm freezing again. The house doesn't want to stay above 68 degrees though the heat is set to 72. Stupid 50+ mph winds are really kicking our butt this year.
Oh well.....guess that's it for now. My update and rant all in one. lol Time to go make more icky tea for tomorrow!

I have similar experience with dizzy/lightheaded during my cycle....found out it was actually due to drop in blood pressure and blood volume. Staying hydrated (which obviously isn't a problem here) and iron supplementation helps. I don't take iron all the time, I start 2-3 days before I'm due and take it for about ten days...
Also had my newest doctor, who is more into holistic as well as traditional, suggest substituting a mineral water for my regular water and consider adding an elctrolyte base (yes, gatorade or similar...OR "Pedia pops." His concern with the lowered volume coupled with adequate hydration, was losing too much of the essential minerals....
I like colloidal minerals and silver....at any rate, I haven't had this be a problem since I started adding those things....can't hurt you, might help (though iron can be "constipating"...TMI I know...LOL
I use colloidal silver (when needed) however, my BP is always low, not just during my cycles. When the c2 in my neck goes out, I also become somewhat dizzy. When my back goes out...I also at times deal with the bp issues. UGH. Seems I can't win.
I just bought some tea today, thought I'd go back to drinking it again for breakfast.
Just saying Happy New Year to you. I see you haven't posted in a while but know you will see this when you log in again.
