redwinelover's Journal, 02 October 2010

Another day... getting used to life without Shaun T? Nah... I might just go do the first workout again. I did Jillian's Boost Metabolism, burn fat one - about 450 calories, I think. When I do an exercise similar to the Insanity type, I seem to substitute the Insanity move since I think it's a more intense move. So...looks like he may be gone, but not forgotten.

Weight down a little bit more today, think it was 130.4. I'm not going to record again until I hit the 120's. God, I HOPE it's in a couple of days. So sick of this weather...97 here and still expected to hit 101. Ridiculous...it IS October, isn't it?? The pool is cooling off a bit much for my tastes, so this is the time of year when it's too hot to do other things like hike or even really walking since it hasn't cooled down much at night yet (but I COULD walk if I got up early enough and did it first thing probably), but the pool is too cold to enjoy. Oh well.

Feeling kind of blah today. I have three doctor appointments in the first three days of the week next week... NOT my favorite thing to do by far. I generally avoid doctors at all costs! And none is my endo! I'll call her after the blood work because they said they'd test my TSH level, while they're at it. Monday I have an EKG and a chest x-ray, along with blood work. I'm hoping nothing shows up - just worried as I have that stupid low heart rate. And then, oh joy, a mammogram on Wed. SUPPOSEDLY this place is really good, and new equipment and do those mammo's that supposedly don't crush the hell out of you. We'll see. Not looking forward them, but will feel better once those aren't hanging over my head.

A few days ago, maybe last Monday? I lowered my dose of thyroid from 1 1/2 tablets back down to 1, thinking maybe I'd passed the point of it being helpful. Did that for a few days and decided it wasn't working for me. Felt worse and still didn't drop any weight, anyway. So yesterday or the day before, I went back to the prescribed dose. We'll see. I'm not as weepy as I was the other day...don't know how much due to THAT and how much is due to the other stuff going on. Whatever. It's nice not feeling THAT on edge and THAT close to tears.

Not much else going on... boring weekend, it looks like. Hubby is working on the kids' cars (again!) I know money doesn't create happiness, nor does it solve life's problems, BUT... it would sure free up time! It be so nice to TAKE a car in to a mechanic when something goes wrong! Or... newer cars and not as many issues? Oh well... I just feel bad for him. He works so hard all week long and too many of his weekends are tied up with taking care of things that break around here. So, I can't complain for being bored... I could be out there working on a car!

...LATER - God, I'm sick! So Jillian wasn't enough for me, apparently. I missed Shaun T a bit TOO much. Yep, I took a break after her workout and then did the first Insanity workout. Man, he is TOUGH! What was I thinking??? Oh yeah, NOW I remember... muscles and burning calories. So exercise today - idiotic fanatic I can be at times... drum roll... 775. But that was also over an hour and a half of exercise, too. Gonna shower!

Yeah... that's right! And honey... I'm NOT bragging about the heat. You don't believe me, I know... but you DO get sick of it! After living in Seattle for 11 years, I thought I'd NEVER dry out and get warm. But after 12 years here... I've had enough! And I grew up in So Cal, so I thought I loved the "heat". California is NOT hot :D. Even the first several years here, it didn't get to me. It's too hot to want to do ANYTHING outside, though. But...thinking about it...don't think I'd trade it for YOUR winters, either... Lord, never happy! :) So hey, check my journal's addendum - I couldn't live without him! LOL...

OMG, you are sick!!!! I cannot believe that you went back to him! I thought you kicked him to the curb! LOL I owuld love Klannoye's winters!! But then I am a winter person! I may have to wear a coat this year though, since my natural insulation is being depleted! lol Glad that you are going to get checked out by the docs, and I am hoping that the blod work ives you some answers. Sorry about the hubby having to work on the car in that heat, and I know what you mean about wishing that you could afford to have someone else do it for you. I'm in the same boat! Hope the rest of your day was fantabulous!
