Well my blood pressure is down, since my latest increase of meds for that.
Problem is, I am down, too. 
I am in a real rut here. I feel decades older than I am. I am fatter than ever. I do blame my anti-depressant (Lexapro) for that. I am not eating more, though I should move my body more.
It hurts to move!
Oh and I am in menopause, too, which the doctor says is why I can't lose weight. I am at that point where I desperately need to get out and move more, but am literally so embarrassed about my weight, that I don't want to leave the house during the day.
I actually walk at night, which is dangerous, but I just can't stand to let people see me right now, let alone answer their nosy questions.
ACK......I almost want to beat the crap out of myself, I am sooooo irritating.
Well I guess that concludes this depressing piece of crap journal entry.
How come I am more interested in giving other people advice, or trying to cheer them up, than myself???

PBS has some good exercise programs early morning, different levels. the exercise helps to keep BP down, raise metab, increase endorphins so less depressed, lose weight..but it takes time & consistency. I'll cheer you on!
