Most of today was still pretty rough in regard to how I&#8217;m feeling physically. Still tired, brain still mushy. I will say that I&#8217;m starting to feel a little bit better over the last hour or so. Hopefully that transitions into tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>I also have been feeling a bit lightheaded today, which means my blood pressure is probably a bit down (which is good, it was up when I went to the doctor on Monday). That&#8217;s one of the big motivators here &#8211; I&#8217;ve tried a few times to get to a point where I could come off the medication altogether (I think I was pretty close once), and I certainly don&#8217;t want to have to increase it. There&#8217;s also the fact that I&#8217;ve been starting to close in on my highest weight again (though I think I&#8217;m still in better shape at this point then I was then regardless &#8211; think I&#8217;ve got a bit more muscle mass making up some of that).<\/p>\n<p>So here is what I&#8217;ve been eating:<\/p>\n<p>Breakfast: 3 hard boiled eggs<\/p>\n<p>Lunch: Baked chicken breast w\/ onions and mushrooms<\/p>\n<p>Dinner: On monday it was more of that chicken breast, yesterday it was a pork chop and sauerkraut, tonight&#8230; remains to be seen.

I didn&#8217;t feel any strong temptations to get it, so I think I&#8217;ve got sufficient motivation for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I can tell you&#8230; adding bulletproof coffee to the mix didn&#8217;t seem to make things any better.
