Waiting...

I am at my doctor's appointment right now. Just a check up after starting a safer blood pressure medication. We waited almost 30 minutes out in the waiting area... Now we'll see how long we'll wait for the doctor back in the room. Been almost 5 mins now. Good news is my top number for the blood pressure was down. Not the bottom though. My heart rate might have been slower. My weight went up like 10 pounds though in about a month. No idea why...I'm not eating anymore than I have been. Need to start watching my calories and try to walk some on the walking pad. Just hurts after only a few minutes. I know it's because I am like 140 pounds overweight

waiting at doctor's appointment can be frustrating sometimes, but we have to stay patient maybe your weight went up because you're not as active as you used to be? good luck with your diet, take care of your health

I don't do patience....or being told what to do LOL I have never been that active haha....so I am not really less active than I have been. Probably won't be any "diet" until the new year....too much going on the last 3 months of the year.

It is the worst...because they make you wait 20 minutes to see you for only what 5 minutes? So wonder why it always takes so long! My doctor saw me for maybe 1 minute today...least he was happy cause I was "an easy appointment" lol

I don't do slow, I don't have the patience sadly. So I probably won't get there because I will give up The appointment was 99% just waiting. The doc came in said I am doing good and we could go. Hope his appointment goes well Friday

All the best to you and I hope you can lose some weight. But aren't you aiming at gaining weight? If you know what I mean,

I know I gained weight. When I'm unhappy I eat more. Have a good day.

Any thing you can do to work on your health is a good thing. The walking will become easier with time.

I don't see how it will if I can't do more than a couple minutes. I need to probably just cut my calories in half and maybe I'll drop enough weight to be able to move easier. But probably wouldn't work either.
