*So yay finally got my numer back down to the losing side. That makes me happy. Well my week in a nutshell

I wound up going to the E.R for 11 hours because i had severe pain on my left side. They did a contrast with iodine and found no leak... thankfully, but we did find that im allergic to iodine ..lol.. smh. So after 11 hours in the er.. they still had no clue what was wrong with me and sent me home cuz they figured it wasn't anything major so back home and im doin ok. Im gonna go with a self diagnosis of I was just pushing myself too hard.

I am an athlete at heart so i know what im doing when i work out, problem is I also push myself to extremes sometimes especially when i want something, and right now my biggest battle is with myself.. I DO NOT WANT LOOSE SKIN.. I need to get it thru my head that it just might be a reality that i need to face. So I have toned it down like I said that i would in my last post and getting back on the right path.

Im getting in my fluids and im starting to be able to handle food better. Instead of running I am doin a fast walk on an incline. Im still lifting weights, but instead of lifting more lbs, i lowered the lbs and just did more reps to work on toning rather than building muscle which is alleviating some of the pain that i was feeling earlier.

ALL IN ALL... doin pretty darn good.

Best wishes to you all hope your sleeves are making you proud...NOW MAKE YOUR SLEEVE PROUD!
