Moving Forward
I tackled another “Mountain to me” and no, I didn’t climb it or conquer it, but I did work out a managable solution for it. With all the water retention going on, I need to get on a regiment of my Furesomide and stick to it. Then we tackle the eating part of it, and it should all fall into place. But, one huge mountain standing in the way is, weighing. I “outgrew” our bathroom scales along time ago. Many many years ago. So. My options have been either the rec center, at the doctor’s office, or being in a weight loss program of some kind (like Dr. Tague, or TOPS, etc). When I had my sites set on weight loss, weighing at the rec center was an OK option.
But, having spiraled out control like I have, and I am in somewhat of a medical crisis, walking from my car to even just the elevator at the rec center (let alone considering taking the stairs) has become one of those mountains that … I could do … but not without some distressing going on. Going to the doctor’s office, even just to weigh is a shorter walking distance, but having to wait sometimes an hour just to be able to go back and just weigh … well, it again, can be done, but just seems to be a major obstacle.
