The weight I just recorded was my weight at last night's TOPS meeting. Although I've maintained most of my recent loss, it's been a challenge, and lately Satan has tempted me with sugary treats on occasion. Then I get upset with myself for misbehaving. Fortunately, they are minor slip-ups. I haven't gone off the deep end yet and keeping trying to make good choices that help outweigh the bad.
I've probably mentioned before that I've had more days of not feeling well than good days since my A-fib episode in mid-December. I've been keeping a regular log of my blood pressure and indicated when I got the symbol showing an irregular heart rhythm.
Yesterday I saw my cardiologist. He was happy with my weight loss and with my BP numbers, but based on my arrhythmias and not feeling good, he decided I should be set up with a heart monitor for 30 days to see what's really going on and if I have A-fib or not.
The monitor is not uncomfortable but is awkward, and I have this cell phone device that I need to keep within 10 feet of me at all times and need to charge it every night. It will be a slight annoyance but in my mind beats having to have an angiogram or transesophageal echocardiogram.
