Two hrs at the Doctor's this morning. Nothing to say really except I do not have a diagnosis and have decided to feel better and to stop worrying! Will get an MRI just to see if it shows anything more definitive. Two more blood tests still to come back and those will tell me a bit more. If they are negative then I will feel even better. In 3 mos we will repeat and see if anything has changed. I am staying off medline until then. Praying for Ruth Ginsburg. She and I have similar history. I have not told anyone but my two friends about this recent concern and didn't want to tell them either. Hard to talk to my family and not say anything. Especially my father. However, now I feel much better-there is really nothing to report.
Now I can get back to obsessing about my weight. I am so very very bloated and my weight will not shift one little bit. Ack!
Have to get back to the gym. I wish I could afford a trainer. My walk/run/lungeing and calisthenics are not enough. That's my instinct about it. I am comfortable with my food intake. I really do not want to tweak it anymore. I did add protein powder and fresh or frozen berries in the form of a shake 5 days a week. I am finding that it is helping with my sugar craving if I drink it around 6.30PM. Gets me through a light dinner and helps me avoid the dessert entitlement mindset. Only whole grains and not much of that really. Keeping carbs below 100 most days-never higher than 150.
The spousal unit said I was "sexy" the other day! So I have that going for me at least.
Okay that's my stream of consciousness for now.
Thanks to everyone that has been holding good thoughts. They have helped me more than you know.

I'm glad you've decided to stop worrying. That's not an easy thing to do! I hope the Dr. can give you some idea soon. ((((hugs)))) Do you do any weight training? Maybe some of that would be a good addition to your workout. Way cool on the 'sexy' comment! That's good for the ego, I'll bet!

Im glad you are taking a different "attitude" towards waiting for tests and results. It is a difficult thing to have to go through and wait for. Two hrs in a doc's office to find out you just have to wait for more answer's is frustrating. I've been reading about exercise a lot lately. I exercise and am not getting anywhere too. What I am reading is all telling me that we have to "mix it up" ... do different things, cross train, walk for an hour at a steady pace one day and then walk for 30 minutes the next day with bursts of high level intensity and moderate intensity, etc... lots of ideas but they all boil down to mixing it up. Darn, I like "routine". Routine is good for me, I like doing the same things and not having to think about it. But I am going to try to mix it up this week and I'll let you know how that goes.

Lol-I love routine too! No "love" is the wrong word. I think I am dependent on routine-it's comforting! I just came back from my usual trek-exactly the same route, I do exactly the same number of lunges in exactly the same places and exactly the same push ups. You guys are right-I have to mix it up too! Amy-I used to weight train 3 x per week and it really helped me get some tone in my back and upper arms. I have the flabbiest arms in America. I think that is what I want to go back to the gym to do...I like machines-it makes it easier and I do not have to think so much about form.

Wise not to worry until you find out there is something to worry about and if everything is fine then look at all the energy you saved to put into something more productive. Keep positive thoughts for these 3 months and get busy in the exercise department, mix it up some to keep it from getting boring. It does burn up stress. You sound like a Star Trek fan~~spousal unit~~ I love it. Take care of you.

So glad you decided to stop worrying! I'm a routine kind of gal too. I hear you on being to be able to afford a personal trainer. That would be great! Maybe someday.....we can dream, right? LOL Sending up a prayer that you will get your results soon and that they will be GOOD results. (((HUGS)))
