Before After

Uffda !

How many do-overs do we get???  

I'm still trying to come to terms with my disappearance over these past few months... I will say that... I don't know what percentage can be contributed to "excuses, excuses"   and what percentage is "genuine need to be concerned"... 

I have not been feeling "right" since March... after the bronchitis attack... after the 10 days of diarrha...  I can officially now say...  that I'm a "dizzy broad!"   Over the past 3 months - each and every time I lay down... the room spins...  and lately, it's been happening more and more when I look up or bend over... so... yoga is out for now...  and I'm actually scared to do aerobics in case it's something to do with my heart...  I live alone so... if I collapse...

(well, you remember how my cat just walked right over me when I was on the floor doing leg lifts??  I'm sure she'd just do that again and not give it another thought...)   

I've been to the doc multiple times (I actually had to switch docs after the first month because he blew me off and didn't take me seriously).  I'm now on high blood pressure meds    and at my doc appt this week, when I told him the dizziness has "changed" and happens at other times now... he said it's me adjusting to the new drugs...

I guess... we can try that interpretation for awhile... I'm hoping he's right and it does makes sense... but I'm not so sure my gut has bought into that idea yet.  So... I'm scared to work out much...  HOWEVER...

having said that ~ I know perfectly well that I can still walk around the park so...  I don't need to "hide"  completely behind this new, mysterious (and hopefully temporary) medical condition...  the truth is, though, I'm just feeling alittle scared about this unknown...

On the up-side... I'm only up ONE pound since I last wrote!!!  (which was many many moons ago...)   Can't say that I'm eating "healthy" or "correctly" - but the portions must be ok..!!

I'm hoping to reconnect with you guys ~ and hope you are all doing well!!  I sure did appreciate the comments checking in on me, from Kristy, Andie and Kate... that meant alot!   Thanks you guys ~

As many as we need!

There are no rules for 'do overs'.  As long as we keep trying we have not failed.

And well done on maintaining!!!!

YIKES!

Sounds like you have some scary stuff going on.  I hope it all gets figured out.

Thanks for the comment.  I think when we think about stressful things while we're running, we can RELEASE those stressors after the run.  So it could serve a dual purpose.  I'll try that next time.  Thanks!

GLAD

Ande~ So glad you are back!  Like you said if something happens and you are alone--I was worried!  Good job on maintaining and  good for you for ditching the doctor who wasn't listening to you.  Glad you are back!! 

 

Just wanted

to say hi!!! and we get as many do overs as we want.. usually every 24 hours...lol Hope you had a wonderful Monday!!
