Good news is that my blood pressure is low/normal, I have more energy and endurance on my walks, and I’m feeling stronger.
Bad news, I’m not losing any weight!
But I’m not gaining any more weight, either, so that’s good?
I think I may have to really take a look at what I’m eating/not eating because I’ve had HORRIBLE heartburn for the last week and rather than suffer through it without indulging, I chose to indulge in a cheeseburger, a milkshake, pancakes, and a bottle of wine over the weekend. The heartburn wasn’t as bad.
STUPID MIXED SIGNALS.
My favorite thing to eat for breakfast right now is a 1/2 cup of greek yogurt mixed with 1/4 of wheat bran and 1/4 cup of flax meal. So yummy, so filling. If I have to give that up I will cry.
Also, I think I may have to start schlepping out to the organic hippie store in Palm Desert for my produce. The selection that I can get in the regular markets is not good enough, same with milk and eggs. But cheese? Everyone has excellent cheese. Go figure!
Today my left hip really hurt so I supplemented pain meds with chocolate chip cookies. Sometimes, it has to be done.

Heartburn is THE WORST. I have no idea how that works.
I’m going to take it as good.
Nathan, why are you using aol.com as your web address? SERIOUSLY.
Simon, THANK YOU!
Wait, I thought Palm Desert was some sort of chaotic battleland of heavily armed Chicanos who only respect one white man, and begrudgingly at that: Perfect Tommy. Now there are hippies there too? Or am I getting my places called “Desert” confused?
I know. I can stuff my face with no ill effects, then go for days being ultra good and that’s when I suddenly get the heartburn. No logic to it.
