Sometimes, you can get ahead of yourself. You cheer yourself on and encourage yourself to push a little harder. Sometimes, in your mind you're ready, but your body is not. Today was one of those days. I was even more sluggish than usual since drinking that stomach wrecking Barium-sulfate w/contrast concoction in the Emergency Room … Continue reading Fitness Check In: Day 31
Today I knew that I wanted to hit the mat and the air walk trainer, so after my quick morning routine (brush teeth, wash face), I did a few quick stretching exercises in bed to wake up those muscles. Then, I got on that glider for 25 glorious minutes with some music from the 80's, … Continue reading Fitness Check In: Day 30
Waking up these days has been tough. My body has just been dragging lately, making it hard to get up on that glider after brushing my teeth and washing my face. Not only that, I am as Cher would say from the movie Clueless, "riding the crimson wave" for the past 3 days, so the … Continue reading Fitness Check In: Day 29
Since I work from home, I'm fortunate, and with no appointments till later in the week, I stayed home next to my two fans whirring away on this super hot day. In the morning I was definitely feeling the heat and was too tired to do any form of exercise. However, I got a small … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 28
Yesterday, I felt like such crap I didn't even check in. I was exhausted, nauseous, super restless and worried since I had been looking for a urologist since Thursday and the ones at Columbia Presbyterian have no availability till September or October despite my telling him of the urgency.

Then up for breakfast and after an hour went back to sleep until about 3:00pm. A much needed rest for my body after this hellish week. Then … Continue reading Fitness Check In: Day 26
Today I woke up and felt a little bit better. Excited that maybe I could go on that glider for at least 10 minutes but my stomach and body had other plans. Utterly exhausted, and still having a little bit of that metallic taste from the CT Scan drink w/contrast despite drinking water was disconcerting … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 25: Flip The Switch
Fear of Hospitals: The Waiting, Tests, Uncertainty, The Bills Honest Detailed Post: Yesterday, I went into the Emergency Room due to painful urination and inability to completely empty my bladder after speaking with a nurse at my primary doctors office since he is unavailable till October.

This is another honest post detailing a bit of whats going on. First I have to say I am happy I got 12 minutes in on the glider because now I'm warming the seats at the ER waiting room, waiting to be seen for the pain I have in my bladder and back and other … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 23
I have to admit that I dragged this morning. The exhaustion has been hitting me hard lately, and today was no exception. Was it the Colace I had to take last night? The worry about the drastic change in my digestion and bowel issues? The stress of the work week? Finances? Who knows. I have … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 22
