Feeling Crappy

arrrggghh. I am trying to get off a medication that has horrible side effects coming off of it, and to make things worse raises my blood pressure in the process. I went to Gold's gym last night and got on the Ellipical machine and after just a brisk walk, it would not let me continue because of my heartbeat. My heart rate was almost 200. It took 3 hours to get my rate down to normal. So, I guess I can't do any cardio until I get this under control. Sucks. I will have to stick to weights.


Breakfast: 1 cup oatmeal bran cereal with 1/2 cup 1% milk

Snack: 6 cheese crackers

Lunch: Smart Ones 3 cheese pasta

Snack: 1 cup Fresh cubed pineapple

Dinner: Taco Salad
and it's my daugters 11th birthday..and I did have a big gooey piece of cake with ice-cream.

Ugh, I'm sorry Christi! So are you trying to get off that medication all together?? Maybe talk to your doctor about what you CAN do exercise wise while you are coming off of it?? Hang in there and take it easy!
