diet screwed by drugs!

I'm such a genius. After losing about 8-9 lbs in a week with this low carb regime, I ballooned up due to water retention from one of the diabetes drugs I take - the generic substitute for avandia. Avandia has that little drawback of increasing the risk of heart attacks, so like many others, I've been taken off it.

Well, I think I took twice the amount of this drug that I should have - I thought I should take two a day, but the dose was higher than the one it replaced, so I was over-dosing myself. I feel real stupid of course, and my frickin' ankles and calves are all swelled up and my toes are pretty numb, even after having 3 good sessions on the recumbent bike.

It's so maddening, so frustrating. I'm jinxed in my fight over weight. So, I'm in a drug hiatus now, pissed off at myself mostly. I like the energy boost I've felt from lowering the carbs - I normally feel like napping after lunch - sometimes I just crash in my office chair. It wastes time and I don't feel refreshed afterwards, just dopey. So, a bit of a benefit even if weight loss is stalled for now - I hope once the drug is out of my system, I will lose weight again. Man this is such a fucking pain, but I gotta keep working on it. If I don't do it, no one else will do it for me, and then off goes the toes!
