Ruff: I'm doing the shawl in white with black strips. the pattern is a bit tricky so slow progress, but progress nontheless. I probably will continue to eat small amounts of salt, because of concerns about iodine, but only small amounts.
Skye: I didn't know that about nicotine, guess that's why it's so hard to give up. I always feel sorry for the people picking butts out of the gutter, they must really be desperate. glad I took up knitting instead.
I find with the Respiredal I have terrible teeth and gum problems, permanent coldlike symptoms and tardive dyskenesia. The drug actually also has a masking effect with the last so it gets bad when I try to come off it, maybe because in the past I stopped too abruptly. At the moment I'm on 3mg a day, which is considered a low dosage, but I've been on it for a long time.
I was good all week about not eating baked goods, and with cutting out salt, and on Friday am I'd dropped a whole kg (2.2lbs) and my bmi was below 28. Alas, that evening I was invited to a pizza party and they'd ordered a vegan pizza especially for me! Hey, it's got mushrooms and spinach so it must be healthy, right? On Saturday am I'd gained all the weight back. I have to come up with a reward other than food, so I'm going to try dropping some money in a jar for every pound lost and buy myself some really nice yarn for my birthday in July.
Breakfast; apple and banana
