February Blahs...



Recommended Posts

Just need to vent a little, if I may...

So January was a little bleak. I struggled with the weight I gained over the holidays and was really feeling bummed about this whole process.

But things turned a corner and the scale started moving in the right direction again. I've lost all but half a pound of my holiday weight.

Exercising in the winter months is a challenge as we don't have funds for a gym membership, and we live in a small condo without much room for indoor workouts, so I've been chomping at the bit for the snow to be gone so I can get back out walking (my preferred exercise).

Cue this week... two solid days of snow (about 20 cm) follwed by extreme cold (-35°C, feels like -43°C). And then this morning I woke up with a kick a$$ head cold.

I know I'm whining. I'm suffering from what my mom calls PLOM disease... poor little old me. I just needed to vent my spleen.

hahahaha! You can do it at your pace, just walk in place to her stream. Then you know that you've done about a mile without moving. I couldn't do any of the "steps" she showed. ROFLMAO!

Mrs Ganges happy to hear about PLOM disease, wonder it is caused by the same virus as my WhyMe-itis? Everybody else has their surgery dates, evernoxy is getting their operation. What have I done to deserve this? Why Me? Even Fluffy Chix has hers, i know she's been waiting nearly a year but,.I'm a tad jelly about now.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
