I'll Succeed

Hey everyone, I didn't fall off the face of the earth or anything but I just came through something pretty goofy.(for about a week) I started to have extreme nausea and dry mouth like Ive never seen. Dr. said my gall bladder may be going south. Ultrasound said no, so blood test for a different check.(like white cell count0checking appendix).All clear there. Next day,dry heaves that were soo weird. Even standing up I couldn't stop. Like a freaking pogo stick in my guts!! So I went to ER to get a nausea shot as my Dr. ordered me too, possible blockage; no blockage,just heaves. Another few days later, OK I'm feeling better, I go off to my water aerobics class that just started, still the stupid dry mouth. Workout was going great until about 35 minutes of splashing I began to feel really funky. Tingling like someone bumpt my funny bones. Zinging tingling. OK maybe I pinched a nerve and continued working out. Now workout is over,about 50 minutes total, shower, return home. and one hour later I still haven't recovered. Just weird fatigue and the same tingling that never left me. So I called DH and he made me call 911.Strange EKG, Ride to ER Many test for Heart attack, not confirmed, butttt then the blood results. Critical level of potassium, that was why I felt so bad. The Dr. said he was surprised I didn't go into defib after working out with that kind of potassium level. A testament as to how healthy my heart is. Next day I see my cardiologist and he wants an angiogram to make sure that my stent hasn't been displaced. Its all well inside there and the reason that my EKG was so off was that my heart was recovering from a kind of bruising so to speak, and It cant rest to recover, so it complains by screwing up my EKG! Now I'm taking it easy, Had my blood pressure meds stopped and the niacinamide stopped, and a new potassium RX. I'm going to be just fine but needless to say I'm not going to booot my camp around for a little while till I get my clearance! So "Ill be baak" as Arnie would say.:sick Almost:faint: :nervous

Hey, Sarge, I'm checking in. I drank my Water, did my water aerobics, and received my first fill. I have lost 2 pounds.:puke: I still haven't taken my measurements, but I promise to do that done when I get home from water aerobics tonight.

I think we should all be proud of ourselves for what we have accomplished this past week.:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Ok, its Monday and I'm checking in a little late. I weighed in this morning at 263 lbs :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: finally losing some weight again. I also scheduled another fill for this wednesday cause I am hungry alot of the time and i can eat a good 12 oz or more before I feel full. I joined a challenge at work and was put into a group of people also trying to lose weight so hopefully this will motivate me some more. I will continue to work out at least 5 days a week and limit my eating out to 1 time a week while making a healthy choice. Hope everyone is doing good and I'll talk to yall next monday.

I did well last week w/my eating (high protein, low carbs), fantastic water intake and no alcohol. It really paid off big time...I lost 10lbs in a wk. (I sound like an informercial:o )

My total lost is -11 for the challenge.

291/280/-11

Thanks

Rpaniagua 77- I don't know how much you lost this week?? SO I am not sure what to change your #'s too?

Teresa- Waiting to here from you hun

Penni- Where are you? Step away from the shiny beads...Step away & your eyes won't get stuck! lol

Lsasha- Holy Crap girl!! Thats like a fanatsy of mine!! Great Job!

Jessie- Goodness you know why & Great news is you didn't gain! You're doing great girl- so just keep it up:girl_hug:

I try not to forget everyone- so if I don't get to you - PLEASE know its not intentional - just absent minded on my part. IM me if you need anything.Anything at all!

Last week I was so dang happy that my scale finally moved that 1.5 than "SARGE" gave that "ONE DAY" speech & well --- in one ear & out the other. I gained 3.5 pounds:faint: in 2 days. This morning I am down 1.5 again so I have another 2 to go just to break even this week. I worked out yesterday- skipping Sunday & Monday(too busy stuffing my face:eek: ) & it was so hard to workout- I felt horrible the whole time & only did a 1/2 hour instead of a whole hour + like I used too.

I Hate:mad: , I mean really Hate:mad: how easy it is to gain weight vs. lose it & just 'cause you miss a few days it feels like weeks since you've worked out. Today I have a girlfriend coming over to work out we me so thank goodness. Hope all the rest of you are doing well & staying focused. If you fell off the track- I hope your back on target as I am.:biggrin1:

One more thing - by keeping my journel I know why also I ate so much Sunday & Monday- I got "STOOD UP" on Saturday night. Very dissapointing. Good news was it wasn't about me- BUT that didn't matter 'cause I didn't find that out till Monday & by than well the pounds were back on. At least know hopefully I can recognise this & try something other than food next time. I wasn't even aware that it happened:confused: .

Oh yeah well after my 7 pound gain last week, I lost a wooping 1 pound last night.

Signed!!
