I've been on vacation and did not track my BP while I was away. I didn't particularly stay low carb either. However, I did walk daily and drink 3+ litres of water a day.

Changing to old school Atkins. Two meals, after 12 noon, limit greens to 2 cups and other lc veg to 1 cup. Limit apple to half small Fuji for 1-2 weeks. Y= good, n= nope

Sep5-11
M yT still not feeling great. Hard to focus on food choices.

Asked DH if the humidity was making breathing harder for him. Needed a baseline to compare my labored breathing. I didn't like hearing he wasn't having breathing issues.

Started taking NAC.

Focus on eating real whole foods. First meal after 12 noon. I'm having trouble eating last meal about 6 pm as at that time until dusk I'm tending animals, which pushes meal and snacking into evening.Soooo Eating window for now noon to 11 pm.


Sept 12-18
