Explanation for Weight gain….

So I ended up with a 2 pound gain for the week which I can handle compared to the 10 pounds that the scale said earlier in the week. But here is the best  part. My buddy Jammie, explained to me that because my doctor had me stop taking my Blood Pressure meds when I went to see them on 8-4, that causes water gain. See the meds were helping my kidneys get rid of the fluid I didn’t need in my body because I am diabetic. When I stopped taking the meds it took a while for them to get all out of my system seeing that I was on them for so long. But now that they are out of my system my body has developed extra fluid and that is where the weight came from.

It makes me happy to know that this is only a a minor set back and that according to Jammie I should be back in the loosing game hopefully next week. It is nice to have an explanation for gaining the weight, because I wasn’t  able to wrap my finger around it all week!

It also makes me so happy to know that I have buddies who are looking out for me and helping and pushing me all the way!!!!!  Damm my doctor for not telling me that I would gain weight after stopping that meds. Now I have to work harder to get back to where I was!

Well I am off to have a busy day. I’ll check back soon….
