I lost another half pound today! That puts me in a better mood! That also puts me OVER my first mini goal of 10 pounds and I'm only six pounds from my second mini goal out of four....yaay! You can never tell by looking at me until I lose about 20 pounds though. Hopefully that won't be long! AND I lost another half inch off my waist!
The good news is that I lost half a pound.
I just got home from seeing both my heart and lung doctors and the bad news is that I DO have mild pulmonary hypertension. My hubby misunderstood when he talked to the heart doctor after the cath. He says I need to stop reading stuff on the internet because it scares me. I mean, who wouldn't be afraid of having an incurable disease??
Then we got home and the car dealer who is fixing our windshield wipers called and said the car won't be ready until Friday....and we were going to leave for Canada tomorow night. The worst part is that it's going to cost about $1000. I am soooo depressed. Can't anything ever go well?? Just when you think life is perfect.....something comes along to tell you differently.
The scale FINALLY went down again, even though it wasn't a lot. I guess I'll always have to weigh myself every day because I can't help it...lol. It's amazing how even a small loss can make you feel so good!
I wanted to get started back at Curves today, but being a holiday they're closed. I'll try to get a visit in tomorrow between doc visits. We'll more than likely be leaving for Canada early Thursday morning. I have to remember to get a travel pass so I can go to Curves up there. We'll be there over 4 months.
I can't wait to get to a cool place! I love the fresh air and going out on the boat and looking at the beautiful sunsets on the lake and the millions of stars we can see up there. There's only one big light in the whole campground so you can really see the stars!
We went to the flea market again today to buy some books, and the lady that runs the funnel cake stand jumped out and grabbed me and said, "You look like you need a funnel cake.".....and she MADE me get one! So it's all HER fault that I got one! 
I couldn't even eat half of it.....so more money wasted. I am soooo weak! I didn't even enjoy it and now I feel guilty AND bloated. Bad girl....bad! Why do I do these things?? Oh well, tomorrow is the start of a new week. Don't diets always start on Monday?
My grandbabies came over today and we went to see Schrek The Third. I enjoyed the movie more than I thought I would. I didn't eat breakfast so I could have popcorn. I ordered a small popcorn and a medium Coke....and it cost $9.50! Can you tell I haven't been to a movie in a while??? The "small" popcorn was HUGE and the medium drink was 44 oz! I threw half of both away. No wonder we're so fat! What a waste of money. The fast food places keep super sizing everything and try to push them on us. Luckily I can't eat a lot at one sitting or I feel bloated. Small amounts at more frequent intervals is best for me these days. Now I just have to think of something to feed hubby for dinner tonight. I'm not going to weigh myself for a couple of days. I'm getting discouraged again because the scale goes down a pound...then up a pound.
I had my heart caths today and my heart is fine! All that worry for nothing! I still have really bad shortness of breath, but at least so far I don't have an uncurable condition like PH. I'm seeing both my heart and lung doctors on Tuesday to get permission to go to Canada for the summer since hubby.....or dh.....won't take me.
I want to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers and comments when I was so worried. I'll have to start all over looking for the cause of my shortness of breath, but it'll be after my relaxing summer at the lake. Now, back to concentrating on my diet!
I did pretty good food wise today. I had half an Italian sub with no oil and four onion rings. Well, maybe the onion rings were a bad choice but it was 3 pm and I hadn't eaten anything yet...and they looked so good. I don't think I'll eat dinner tonight. My tummy is a little upset. I did do a short workout at Curves today though.
Maybe it's nerves because tomorow morning I have my heart caths. Good news or bad news....at least I'll know! I just hope the docs say we can go up to Canada for the summer as we usually do. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed!
We had a great time at the beach today and my dog Brandy actually went swimming. She's 11 years old and would never get in the water. It was good exercise for her and she seemed to like it. I did water aerobics which was nice. We climbed about 50 steps to the top of Ft. DeSoto, which was exhausting, but I went slow. Only two more days till my heart cath and then I can get back to normal....yaay!
I used one of those powered shopping carts at Target yesterday. I ran into a wall once and totally turned around two racks of clothes. Guess I need a driving test for those thangs....lol. It did make shopping easier though.
Diet wise.....hubby actually told me I'm not eating enough! Boy.....that's different....lol.
Ok....it's Monday again. No more loss on the scale but I dropped another half inch from my waist. That seems weird because I haven't been working out much...but I'll take it! That's the important part anyway.
I think we'll take the dog to the dog beach today and swim a little for exercise. The Gulf is pretty warm by now I hope.
Thanks to those who have commented on my blog. It's nice to know someone is reading it....lol.
We went to the flea market today and did a lot of walking, which was good but it exhausted me. I also ate a Philly cheesesteak sandwich....and worse yet....shared a funnel cake with my hubby. I LOVE funnel cakes! It's the reason I go to the fair every Febrary....lol.
I'm babysitting my grandbabies tonight so I'm just going to eat some fresh, sweet Georgia peaches we got at the flea market....yummy! You just can't get good peaches down here in grocery stores. We also got some nice local tomatoes. I can eat them like an apple, they're so good.
I'm not going to get on the scale today. Maybe weighing every day isn't that smart an idea!
