HMR Diet - Day 16; coasting

Not to say that this whole thing is easy but man it feels like I'm just coasting along.  At the last weigh in on Wednesday I lost another 8 pounds which equates 17 pounds in 2 weeks.  The dizziness is basically gone now.  The heart medication I'm on is also used to treat people with high blood pressure.  Well because my weight has dropped so dramatically in the past 9 weeks, 40 pounds, he's cut my heart medication in half.  Last night I started lifting weights again.  I will continue to do this every other workout; full cardio workout then a 20 minute resistance training session directly afterward.  I'm debating whether or not I want to do my legs at all when lifting.  The reason being is if my legs are weakened during the weight training it will seriously impact my cardio workouts later in the week.  I'm a little fortunate because in the past when I was in shape my legs grew quite easily, it's my upper body that has always been slow to respond.  I'm going to do a shoulder exercise every time I lift because my shoulders have always seemed under developed.
