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.

Week 2 Update

Here is the update for week 2. It was quite a stuggle this week. I am on some heart medication that wasn't working and that messed up my workouts. I still got to the gym everyday and took it easy. I really didn't feel so good, and I ended up not eating much. I still ate healthy. It was quite a struggle and one evening we were at the grocery store and I almost started crying because there was so much food I wanted...not needed. I was craving junk. I was good and didn't give in to crying or to the food cravings. Amanda and Richard have been so awesome and so supportative day to day. They remind me every day that I can do this. Here is some great news: I lost 5 lbs. again!! So that is 10 in the last two weeks!!! Yeah I am happy for that. This next week I am going to the heart doctor to have some tests done and make sure I am doing the right workouts. I'll keep you guys informed. Later Brenda

My Results....

So this week was a challenge, but I did get through it. I did do all my workouts...missed one day of cardio, but it was kind of made up through the jazz ballet class I do on Thursday nights. In the end I have lost 5 lbs.!!! Yeah I am so happy that just in the first week that some weight has come off. I also lost a few inches here and there, in my waist I lost 1 inch, and iun my thighs I lost 1 1/2 inches! Yeah for me!! I also made another huge change...which you can see...my hair. I needed a drastic and immediate change. I love it. I was nervous, but I love it! Well I am off, wish me luck with my next week. Later Brenda

Little Update
