Fitness Check In: Day 36

Today was not as hot as other days temperature wise, but the humidity made it feel sooo icky and gross that it just felt like it was 100 or so in the apartment. Despite how heavy the air was, I did manage to get in a workout. Thankfully, while I don't have AC, I do … Continue reading Fitness Check In: Day 36

Fitness Check In Day 35

As I mentioned in my motivational video today, the past few days have been a bit tough.  Between the physical exhaustion and being in a funk mentally, it was hard to push through, which led me to just stay in bed yesterday.  Also the high fiber diet was messing with my stomach hardcore so any … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 35

Fitness Check In: Day 32

I was worried how I would wake up this morning after overdoing it yesterday despite initially not feeling any pain or discomfort, only to end the day waddling around with a cane for support. However, I woke up in good spirits and with very minimal soreness!!! This of course was NOT a green light for … Continue reading Fitness Check In: Day 32

Fitness Check In: Day 31

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

Fitness Check In: Day 29

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

Fitness Check In Day 25: Flip The Switch

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.  A urinalysis, bloodwork, a CT Scan and a dozen … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 24:

Fitness Check In Day 23

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

Fitness Check In Day 22

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
