LC Day 37

My scale is obnoxious right now , but I'm still eating well and still rocking the ketones. I went ahead and went back to my normal water pill dose today since they upped my potassium yesterday. I'm up 3lbs on the scale....but maybe after today's regular water pill dose those will be gone. My ankles look bad but not horrendous...but I can surely see the 3lbs.

I'm wearing that heart monitor and NATURALLY did not have an episode this morning for it to record. One more morning to catch it. In the mean time, I can't shower....and because I can't shower I don't feel much like working out. My hips are killing me from workouts anyway...I'm gonna go to my physical therapist and have him evaluate my use of the elliptical to see if there is something I'm doing to make it hurt so bad in the days that follow. Because of my spinal cord injury, it's not a fluid movement...the pain is really annoying. I can't remember if he has an elliptical in the office for me to use so he can see what I'm doing wrong though. Oh...how I long for the days of house calls! What I wouldn't give for someone to build a customized exercise program tailored to my physical limitations and available home equipment.
