LC Day 60! NICE!!!

Today's dinner plans changed this morning...and I'm kinda happy. I’ll miss the company of my friend, but while I was supposed to go out for dinner tonight...I really just think I want a burger at home. Breakfast was eggs and bacon, lunch will be leftover taco salad. Snacks are celery with cream cheese and a pinch of almonds. My weight this morning...271.6. I'm almost scared to write it in case it's not there tomorrow....but wow! I get on a plane to Vegas next thursday so will have to weigh a day early. I'm nervous about holding it together while traveling, partying, and intentionally straying from plan, etc...but no matter what, I know this is the right place for me.

So I slept HORRIBLE last night. A friend was over visiting till late into the evening so I couldn't take my Ambien and trust that I would be up on time for work. So instead I took Requip (another drug useful for restless leg syndrome, but when I take it too often it causes memory loss) and just had an awful night sleep. It causes EXTREMELY vivid dreams...last night I dreamt I had a fever of 104 and was running around my office naked until I passed out from the fever and they had to call an ambulance. I don't believe I was actually deeply sleeping because I remember thinking that this fever could mean I have swine flu, so I spent the whole night partially stressed about being ill and not actually "resting" . It was a very strange sensation...like being trapped between reality and a dream world. LOL...I'm so happy to be awake and healthy today.

Potassium seems low today...bad ankle cramping yesterday and far worse today. Not sure why...dangit! I am so tired of increasing my potassium. There's got to be a limit of how much one should supplement that stuff! UGH...it's so ridiculous. I wish I could quit these stupid water pills. I recall that I was once on a "potassium sparing" water pill that they took me off of when I was trying to get pregnant...maybe I should go back to that. I'll call the cardiologist and see what he thinks.
