Commit to get Fit & Lean January 2016 - 2026

Hi,

today I did 2 hours dancing plus Lift Move & Restore Functional Yoga. I also did some Pilates stretching.
I have a very early eye doctor appointment. My eye is feeling a little better being on antibiotics. I just don’t get why this is happening.

Cookie - great job with your walk and LIS Turbo Barre workout. The weather was perfect for the park. Hope the little one enjoyed it. I am starting to think some of those reviews are fake.

Cookie - sorry about the PT and Dr. I was disappointed with PT too. I started doing the gentle Pilates. Worked out better for me. Good for you getting a second opinion. I love all the new things my belly dance teacher comes up with. She called it fusion belly dance, lol.

Good night.
 
'Evening! Got a referral for another dr, more testing, and equipment! Geez, it's almost like a part-time job! Talked about Pilates with a friend for a bit, so I'm counting it all as a workout.

Deb, going to the park yesterday must have been beautiful. How's the little guy doing? I know you asked Belinda, but I do think some of the reviews are fake. It so easy to create fiction these days.

Belinda, I read somewhere about eye drops being recalled for causing infections just the past couple of days. Hope you get a good report from your eye dr.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk outside. I went to get blood work done for my physical tomorrow. The results are already back, I'm not crazy with the results. DH said it's good I can discuss it with the Dr. tomorrow.

We all workout and care about our health, it's frustrating when things happen that are out of our control.

Belinda - Lots of dancing for you, you must look forward to it. It was good that you followed it with Lift, Move & Restore Functional yoga. Good luck tomorrow with your eye Dr. appointment.

Cookie - It counts as a workout:) The good thing is they have so many more test & equipment to find out what's going on. You are right going to appointments is a job.

Goodnight:)
 
Hi,

Today I had a follow up appointment with the ophthalmologists. She thinks the swelling stye in my eyes are caused by my immune depressant medication. I started a new immune depressant medication about 3 month ago. I was getting very nauseous on the meds, my joints are killing me. My kidney numbers are high . The ophthalmologist wants me to on a month long antibiotic starting in 2 weeks. I am already on antibiotics. I sent the report to my rheumatologist with pictures of my right eye. She doesn’t think as long as I am on those immune depressant medications I will get those skin lesions (stye) on my eyes.

I did LMR Lower body + Pilates hips/pelvic.

Debbie - sorry you are not happy with your blood results. I hope you had a chance to discuss it with your doctor. My blood works are never good. Good job on your walk. Thank you about my appointment today.

Cookie - lol, I mentioned the eye drops being on recalls it to my ophthalmologist. She said the once I use Refresh those are not on recalls. Unfortunately the results from the eye doctor isn’t great. Looks like I have to deal with my eyes or change my immune meds. If I happened to get another swelling in my eyes, the will do a biopsy to rule out cancer. She doesn’t think I have cancer, just to make sure. They are concerned with those so called styes I am getting. I couldn’t open my eye it was so swollen. Glad you got another referral. It’s a pain with testing, more equipments. It’s very time consuming. My eyes are a full time job with everything I have to do around the clock.

Good night.
 
'Evening! Just worked today and took a rest day.

Deb, sorry your test results aren't what you were looking for. Hopefully, the dr can provide some good answers and guidance tomorrow. It is so frustrating to work and care for our health and then it seems for naught!

Belinda, gosh that's a tough balancing act of meds. I hate styes - they are so painful. It is very frustrating spending time and money on the medical stuff. I'm thankful I have insurance, even if it doesn't cover all. Can't imagine what it is like for those who don't have any.
 
Hi,

Today was zoom yoga. The Dr.'s appointment went well, we will retest the bloodwork in a few months. She is also having me go for a Calcium CT test. She not too worried but wants to wait and see. My AC1 is high & my cholesterol so we discussed steps I can take to improve it.

Belinda - Great job with LMR Lower Body & Pilates. Hopefully the antibiotics will help you out. Sorry you are going through this.

Cookie - A rest day is well deserved:)

Goodnight:)
 
'Evening! PT and more tests today. Now onto neurosurgeon.Getting older sucks but it's the feeling your body is betraying you that is aggravating.

Deb, yoga sounds so good. Glad your dr is too worried, and hopefully that is reassuring to you. Annoying isn't it to do so much right, and then wham!

Belinda, how are your eyes doing today? Were you able to get some dancing in?
 
Hi,

Today was an upper body at the gym. There were bad storms & rain so no park today. We took gs to an old fashion breakfast cafe. It was cute and toddler friendly.

Belinda - I hope your eyes are feeling better. Did you keep the dress for dd's wedding you were looking at?

Cookie - It is so annoying. It's good you are getting your tests so quickly. I'm also helping DH with sending an email to his Dr. for abnormal blood test results. We eat very similar and have totally different issues with our blood tests.

Goodnight:)
 
Good morning,

I had to take Sadie to the vet yesterday, she vomiting and not eating. Her vet is a regular vet not an emergency vet. They kept Sadie all day yesterday and gave her IV fluids, ran a bunch of blood tests. When we tried to pick her up, her vet recommended she needs to hospitalized. She was suspecting Addison Disease, her cortisol levels were low. DH and I took her to another urgent care hospital with an Internal medicine doctor. At first, the doctor didn’t think Sadie has Addison disease since it didn’t align with the test from the vet. She said she will run all those tests again and doing ACTH simulator with messusing her cortisol levels. I checked on Sadie throughout the night. The doctor called letting me know they did the ACTH test and started her on IV meds for Addison disease since her cortisol levels dropped again. They will do an ultrasound this morning, Sadie will also see the Internal doctor this morning. Sadie will have to say longer in the hospital than the initial 12-24 hours. Please keep Sadie in your prayers!

I did managed to get a 40 min Pilates in yesterday. Waiting for the hospital to call me.
 
Hi,

Today was a walk at the gym & some leg exercises. DH & gf left for the wedding they are going to tomorrow.

Belinda - My prayers and thoughts are with Sadie and your family. Hugs ((()))) to all of you. It sounds like she is in good hands. I can't imagine what you are going through. It's great that you can visit her.

Cookie - How is your sciatica when you kayak?

Goodnight:)
 
Update on Sadie. The test results came back, it is confirmed she has Addison disease :( Not the outcome I was hoping for.

Debbie - Sadie is in good hands. Her vet just contacted me about Sadie, gave me her opinion. She gets all the reports.It’s been a roller coaster. I visit her this afternoon, I ask the doctor if Sadie ate. She told me she ate every little, I ask if I could try to feed her. She didn’t mind. The doctor herself gave Sadie a little low fat charcuterie board with can food 3 diffrent kinds, cooked chicken, beans and some runny stuff. Sadie gobbled it up. She was so hungry. They let us stay with her for over an hour, than she had to get back on the IV fluids, medication. They also have her on insulin. They already been threading her today for Addison disease, she heating in the right direction. Hopefully all her numbers are going up through the night. Thank you for the prayers!
 
Hi,

Today was a long walk outside. The weather was beautiful, we could even open our windows.

Belinda - Happy to hear Sadie is improving and eating. I didn't know what Addison disease was so I looked it up. It is good that your vet caught it right away. It's great that you can visit her too! My thought and prayers are still with all of you.

Cookie - You must be enjoying the nicer weather.

Goodnight:)
 
Evening,

No workout today. I am beat. At midnight I ended up taking Sadie back to the ER, she started having very bad diarrhea. I called the ER first, they recommended to get her checked out. They did blood tests, gave her fluids. Thank goodness, it wasn’t due to Addison disease. Probably had something to do with what they feed her in the critical care clinic. Her tummy wasn’t ready for it. They sent me home with anti diarrhea meds, probiotics and another one for upset stomach. She is alert, not eating a whole lot. I am so beat. I didn’t get home until 5 am.

Debbie - not a good diagnosis. The vets are very optimistic, saying it’s highly threat able. I have to make an appointment with her vet tomorrow. I am very thankful my vet caught it right away and advised us to take her to the critical care clinic. I wouldn’t have left her in the clinic, if they wouldn’t allowed me to visit her. Thanks for the prayers. It was a beautiful day for a walk.

Good night.
 
'Evening! Sorry for not checking in. With not working out, I feel foolish, but I have missed you so here I am. Been sleeping a lot.

Deb, bet your gs liked the diner! It's strange how tests can come out. Kayaking bothers me, but walking down the steps to the dock is even harder. It's very disappointing, since we just got an extension and I haven't even been on it. I can see it from the house,tho. Hope you and your dh get some answers soon.

Belinda, oh no! Poor Sadie and you. TG she has you and you've gotten her in good hands. Not being able to visit her must make everything harder.
 
Hi,

Today was a rest day. We babysat, my DIL had a shower to go to & ds was working. It was strange babysitting on a Sunday, but no traffic:)

Belinda - You must be exhausted, Sadie too. Hopefully she will feel better soon. Resting will be good for all of you. It sounds like they took good care of her at the ER.

Cookie - Don't hesitate to check in, we can still talk about anything/nothing (like the Seinfeld show):) We missed you too! It's good that you are resting.

Goodnight:)
 
Evening,

I managed to get LMR Mobility fusion and bonus cardio. I also did Pilates.

Debbie - thank you. I was so exhausted yesterday, I rested when Sadie rested. I finally got a good night sleep last night. I only had to wake Sadie up once around 2 am to give her medicine. The critical clinic is fantastic, they been calling and checking up on Sadie. I already scheduled all her appointments to get rechecked and tested on Thursday and all her other appointments she needs to get rechecked. She needs to get monitored very close. Glad you took a rest day and babysit the little one.

Cookie - please check in. We miss you. I am glad you resting. We don’t care if you work out or not. Let us know what you up too. Like Debbie said, we can talk about Seinfeld. BTW, I love that show, lol. I was able to visit Sadie. She was hocked up on all kinds of stuff, like fluids. they kept her on IV’s 24 hours. I will try to post a picture of her with all those needles in her neck, legs :( I felt so bad for her.

Good night. I have an appointment with my Rheumatologist tomorrow.
 
'Evening! Just PT exercises today.

Deb, thanks! I appreciate you two so much. It must be awesome to be such a large part of the little guy's life. Bet you are seeing so many changes already in him.

Belinda, thanks! All the stress must be exhaussting on top of caring for Sadie. Glad she's in the clinical test and getting such good care. The poor little girl. Good luck with your appt tomorrow.
 
Hi,

Today was Cathe butts & gut & a short walk at the gym. I ran a bunch of errands.

Belinda - Happy to hear Sadie is being monitored and getting better. I'm sure you needed the rest as well as Sadie. Great job with LMR mobility and Pilates. Good luck with your Dr.'s appointment.

Cookie - Great getting in your PT exercises. Are you find they are helping? So many changes. This month we will be babysitting less, my ds is working nights. I should catch up on house things LOL.

Goodnight:)
