July 01 I feel like alot of stuff in my life is starting to finally come together. I re-joined my old gym and have been enjoying my water aerobic classes again. There is nothing like going to the pool after work and being able to get a work-out and tan at the same time. The instructors give you a wonderfully hard work-out that you def. feel when you leave. I am getting back in my routine of working out every day and it feels good. I just wish that it would give me some more energy. Usually my meds make me very sluggish throughout much of the day. Speaking of meds I think I am going to speak to my doctor about changing them-I am just having to many side effects from them. One of them is weight gain. When I first started the meds I gained 10lbs my first week. Now I am still trying to get the last couple pounds off so that I can be back where I was before. It's a long, slow, hard process. I used to be able to lose 2-3lbs a week and now I am lucky to loose a pound. I have made the decision that I won't go back to TOPS until I am back to the weight I was when I last went. I never had a gain the whole time I was there and I don't want to start now. On to the important news: 1). Lisa and I met for dinner last night FINALLY. It had only been like 4 months since we had seen each other. It was nice to reconnect as it had been so long. Hopefully we can do it again soon. She looks good (at least one of us is losing some weight) and I am truly happy for her current happiness (she deserves it). 2) I actually was able to concentrate long enough the past couple nights to read some of a book. It is still hard but I accomplished something. It has been close to a year since I have been able to read ANYTHING 3) Tom and I decided to go to a fertility clinic to discuss our options to get me preggo. With my problem (see prior blogs) it will be really hard to get preggo naturally. So now it's time to try something new. I finally got an appointment and I go next week. Cross your fingers for me-I want it sooooooo bad. Well that's it for me. Not much going on in my boring life at this point. Just wanted to check in w/ you guys and see how you are all doing in this wonderful journey to health...... June 27 Well despite all the crap that I ate on Sunday (see prior blog) I still lost weight @ my meeting last night. It was only .6 but hey it's something, right? So many people gained for whatever reason and I was really expecting to be one of them. I guess the couple work-outs that I had done over the week helped out with that. I went to my old gym this past Sunday and Monday and I was disappointed to see that Zumba is gone-the instructor is on maternity leave. They do have a Wed class but I can't make it as it is at 5:30pm. That was really the only thing about the gym that I really really liked. I can do cardio anywhere. But I am still paying on my membership so I have to try and go at least on Sundays when I don't have any classes anywhere else. I still take belly dance/exotic dance classes a couple days a week and I still love them. They give you such a workout and it's so much fun and sexy (way more fun that staying on a cardio machine). I think my problem is that I get bored easily. I change gyms usually every year-I just need the variety. I am also planning on taking some more water classes at another local gym-I can get a tan and a work-out at the same time. My Dr appointment yesterday was ok. She said that I had to go to a nerve dr to see if I have any nerve damage that is causing my left leg to go numb. She said that my reflexes in that leg were slow. Perhaps it is do to my medicine, who knows. I already have enough side effects to deal with i.e. weight gain, sluggishness etc. So now it's off for more tests. It never ends. One thing after another. Thank God that I finally got my insurance back. Anyway today is a good day so far. Happy TGIF! I need to catch up on some sleep, and CLEANING (yes Tom, I said it) this weekend. Hope all of you have a wonderful weekend.  June 26 So going to the gym has become difficult for me as well. I just want to do my thing and leave. Maybe say hi to 1 or 2 people I like! I go less and less and work out at home more and more. My food is good and I am still losing, so no complaints here. I am still with the awesome guy I started seeing a few weeks back. It gets better and better each time I see him. I work a lot still, but have learned to say no! Lara and I have finally been able to speak more often, but getting together is proving to be a challenge. Soon though. I have to make this short because I plan to catch up on some extra sleep tonight. Much needed! |
