Walking....

So today, my family and I decided to for a walk. Turns out, we walked for a MILE! We had a blast though. We took Daisy with us. She did fairly well for her first time on a leash! My 7-year old daughter got to ride her bike (turns out, she's not that good at it!) while her daddy and I walked. We got to spend some quality time together and overall, I think it did us some good..

I had a doctor's appointment this morning at 9. Since December 21st, I have lost 7 lbs! Considering the holidays were here, I am absolutely amazed at myself! I still don't have a lot of energy, but I think I'm starting to get sick. Earlier I was running a low-grade fever. So my new doctor changed my blood-pressure medicine.  I went from taking Lisinopril/HCTZ to taking Toporol. This is new to me, so I'm wondering if anyone has taken it before?? She also gave me refills of the rest of my medicine and told me that If/when I get pregnant, I will have to come off the Metformin and the Lasix. Let's hope I lose enough weight so that I can take myself off them before I THINK about trying to get pregnant!

So, aside from the nine pound overall weight loss, nothing new has been going on in my world. Just hanging out with the kiddo, waiting on Christmas break to be over! I can't wait to start the next semester of school! I will have an hour after my classes on Monday-Thursday that I can work out, and my school even has a walking track! ;o)

I don't have a new picture to post, so I will just post the same one with my new weight!
