Ready To Go

I cleaned all the stuff off the treadmill today and Michael moved it around to where I can use it. I will walk a little everyday, but I'm not going to push myself too hard on the mileage. My hip has finally healed up and I don't want to destroy it again. Slowly but surely, I will drop this weight. I'd rather get out and hike here in the mountains, but I will use the treadmill if I have to. I'm also going to drag out my The Biggest Loser DVDs tomorrow. I'll have to build up to those, but I do plan to use them again soon.

Let's try this again.

School is out, finally. I am very fat, and I need to drop some serious pounds. Maybe now that I have a little extra time every day, I will have time to post. I don't really know what to say though, other than I am sick to my stomach over gaining all this weight back. I gained it all back, I ate like a pig, I enjoyed it. But my body doesn't. So now I have to decide what is more important, food or my life. My life, obviously. So I have to do something about it. End of story.

It has been crazy around here.

Well, I picked up a cold somewhere. I'm not 100% sure, but I have my suspicions. Anyway, I've been so sick for gosh, well over a week. I didn't get to go to my uncles funeral because I was so sick. My throat felt like I had swallowed lava and a porcupine at the same time. My nose has been running non-stop, coughing and hacking up ungodly amounts of gunk, sneezing, massive sinus pressure and headaches. Thankfully I haven't been having chest pains, but I am still dealing with the burping a lot. Where ever that is coming from. I've not been doing great on my diet, but I've been doing better than I had been. Well except on Thursday. Since it was Valentines Day we had Chinese... Mongolian Chicken, Fried Rice, and Egg Rolls. YUM! Needless to say that had insane amounts of sodium and I've been trying to do better on that front. I hope everyone is doing well!

I find it impossible to promise that I will write every single day, but I just want you to know that I am around. I've not been feeling so great today. I'd went days and days without any chest pain and boom last night it started back up. I think it may have something to do with heartburn because I have been belching like mad and it is very acidic. I am sorry if that is TMI. I've been taking tums and gas-x for the bloating. I did break over and take an asprin, just in case. But my BP is fine. Whatever is going on with me is absolutely driving me insane.

I was busy all day yesterday. My nephew, his wife, and their 3 kids were suppose to come up to let me attempt their taxes. I always do ours, but theirs is much more complicated. I cleaned all day, cooked a huge supper, and then did their taxes. By the time I got in bed it was 3 am and that is when the chest pain started. I was still awake when Michael got up for work at 5 am. Slept til about 9:30 and got up with the boys to do their school work. As if I weren't feeling crappy enough, Aunt Flo decided to show up and I'm bloated like a balloon. We schooled all day, then had to go to the grocery store as I may be away this weekend. Michael and the boys cant starve.

My uncle passed away this morning, Mom's brother and I may go out of town for his funeral. He had stage 4 lung cancer.

Seeing how quickly life can be taken away from you makes you thankful for what you have. Even if you are sick.

This house is a total dump, but I really don't care. I'll get to it eventually.

Hope everyone is well.
Continue to pray for me.

Day 3 and Day 4 : 2013

Wednesday was day #3. Sorry I didn't get a chance to write. I was just busy most of the day. My SIL called early in the day and asked if I would do my brothers taxes that afternoon. After the boys finished their school work we cleaned the house up and I did my brothers taxes. By the time they left, I really wasn't up to writing. I only took my BP once that day as I was busy all day. It was 117/78 on my cuff here at home. The scales had dropped a little more as well. I was pretty excited about that as I watched what I ate and drank water all day with the exception of one Diet Coke with my supper.

Yesterday was Thursday, day #4. I had another drop on the scale yesterday. I'm liking that a lot.

I had an ultrasound of my gallbladder and the lady who did the ultrasound said she didn't see any stones. But that it looked large and that could be because I had to fast for the ultrasound or because my gallbladder just isn't functioning properly. I'd have to have a nuclear scan to find out. Unfortunately, I can't afford that at the moment. Very frustrating to say the least.

I continue to have some pain in the upper right side of my stomach, but thank God, I haven't had any chest pain for two full days. I am so happy about that.

I only took my BP once yesterday as well. 112/77.

Food wasn't the best. We were on the go all day, so I ate more than I should have and it was sodium loaded food to boot. I didn't drink nearly enough water either. Today will be better!

Well, I best get up from the computer and get a few things accomplished. Hope everyone has a great day! Continue to pray for me. Thanks!

Day 2 : 2013

Yesterday went pretty well. I saw a drop on the scale, surprisingly.

I had a couple Diet Cokes but didn't go with one in my hand like I usually do and I drank lots of water.

I didn't have any chest pain but had that *need to burp* sensation later in the afternoon and night. I still have it this morning. Ugh.

My BP with my cuff (not sure if it is right) was 105/74 yesterday morning and 111/81 last night.

Continue to keep me in your prayers. Thanks!
