Alcohol and Blood Pressure...

Seeing as I was suppose to cut out alcohol LAST week in an attempt to cut some fat...I guess this week's revelation isn't such a bad thing....drinking seems to be dropping my BP to intolerable levels..I am still on a very low dosage of meds for HIGH blood pressure, due to a freak spike in BP in early Jan, although the Dr. has no idea what caused/causing it or has no intention of trying to figure it out, he would rather just keep me on the meds forever. I have convinced him to lower my dose, and am currently at the lowest dose possible. I am aware that alcohol can sometimes increase the affects of BP meds, and I suspect this is what is happening here. I hate being on medication, I don't believe in it, in fact most cases for which Dr.'s put ppl on meds I strongly believe can be solved thru diet and exercise. For now...I will eliminate alcohol from my diet completely and hoping get the BP under control and have the added side effect of keeping my diet clean.
Wish me Luck! :D

First week of the new meal plan

It's Day 5 and well, I can't say it was a complete fail, but it wasn't a success either......with three free meals this week thru work, I can tell you they weren't the chicken breast, green veggies and protein powder allowed on my plan, I also had one can of pop and yes ALCOHOL......dummy....no wonder I am stuck at 25% BF!!!
I am beginning to feel defeated.......thought I was stronger than this.......I also missed two workouts this week due to kids doctor appts and work.......NEXT week will be better! I am WILLING it to be so!
