Hey There

I know it has been a while since I have updated, so here is a quick one. I have been back to my normal exercise routine for almost a month (this is my 4th week)!! I have been doing really good and have found that I LOVE the eliptical machine. I was so afraid of it, but Amanda stood with me and got me on there and I love it. I really sweat when I am on it and I feel like I get a way better cardio workout on there than the treadmil. It has been awesome. I am going to put myself through a huge test next month when I go to Oregon. It will be a test on my will power to keep up my exercising and eating right. Laura has been really encouraging and supportive with me and has promised to not tempt me or let me talk her into eating crappy food. I am excited to see how I do and I really feel confident that I am able to do this. Well I will keep you updated and let you all know how things go. Have a wonderful day and remember that in the end what you do with your life is most important, make sure that you are happy, and if your not do something about it and make yourself happy!

It's Been A While

I know that it's been a while since I have updated. I am feeling better, still waiting on all the results from the heart doctor. I go back on the 6th to get all that. Last week I went to ballet and was able to make it through the whole class without getting dizzy or overly tired. I felt really good when I was done. I have been doing good on my eating and making sure I am eating 5-6 times a day. I went to the gym today and did my workout and it felt so good. I am ready and pumped up to get started again. I am so excited about this. Yeah!! I will keep you all updated. Later Brenda

Heart update

Well went to the doc on Monday and got my heart monitor. It's small and I have to wear it for 3 weeks. It's not to bad. I have been feeling worse and worse. I was in the er last Thursday because my head felt like it was going to explode and my heart rate was really really low. I felt like I was going to pass out and my lips were purple. The er was crappy and all they said was I had a sinus infection and a migrain...they didn't even check my heart or monitor it. I was really upset. I have been trying to get a hold of my heart doc with no luck...I don't want to end up in the er again!! I have been really exhausted and not sure what to do. Here is some good news I am sticking with eating right and my weight is going down. Not as much as the first two weeks, but still like a pound or two each week. I need to find reflief so that I can get back to exercising. I know that I need to be careful and figure out what is going on so it can get fixed and I can get on with my life. Well I will let you all know how things go. Later Brenda

Quick Update

Here is a quick update. I have gone to my heart dr. and I have to go through a couple of test to determine exactly what is going on. I am able to exercise two to three times a week and light intensity. I am doing a lot better with my eating and making sure I am eating healthy. I will let you all know how things go. I am still losing weight and I can tell in my clothes because they are fitting differently. Plus my bad cholestorol has gone down. I am feeling alot better and feel like I am over the hardest hurdle.
