Travel today for my friend’s dr appointment. Also getting in some shopping while in the city. Weight down a touch today but bound to go back up with the travels out of town today and tomorrow. I still need to move more but my breathing remains labored. Tomorrow is my heart doctor appointment. I hope for answers.06/14.…..206.2…..(Trend Weight 204.8)….. A week filled with much car-sitting travel. Chinese last night didn’t help this mornings weigh-in. I’m seeing the heart doctor today (more travel from this rural area). I’m sure he’ll insist on weight loss. Probably just the push I need to get back in control.06/15……206.8…..(Trend Weight 205.1)….. Cardiologist yesterday. All my medicine basically doubled for blood pressure and cholesterol. So….on the 27th I have an ultrasound on the heart and on that day they will also place a heart monitor for me to wear at home for 2 days. On the 29th, back to the hospital where the monitor is removed and they will do the stress test without the treadmill because I can’t breathe with exersion. 4 hour test involving needle where they put something in to activate heart. Those 3 tests should give us some answers. Doctor says anything from an infection that got into my bloodstream/heart, diabetes issues, to my chemotherapy I had could have caused this. He suspects the chemotherapy. Follow-up for results in July. I hope to see a better readings soon on the scale, even with so much travel on the books coming up. It’s doctors orders.06/16……204.2…..(Trend Weight 205.0)….. I logged for the first time in awhile yesterday. I kept it under my calorie and carb allotment. Then, after closing, I had a bad glucose drop and stuffed in an extra 200 calories but remained under 1600. 96 degrees yesterday in northern Michigan which is highly unusual for our area. Advisory to stay inside but I don’t have air conditioning. Low level movement. Low calorie burn. Low steps. Low activity. However, nice TMI this morning and almost 6 hours of sleep so both were a nice contributing factor.06/17.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)…..06/18.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)…..06/19.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)…..06/20.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)…..06/21.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)…..06/22.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)…..06/23.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)…..06/24.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)…..06/25.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)……06/26.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)……06/27.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)……06/28.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)……06/29.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)……06/30.…..xxxxx…..(Trend Weight xxxxx)……
