Saturday April 13th,
Happy
Saturday everyone! So, last week was an extremely difficult week for
me. Had GI issues still, urgent care visit, dr visit, and a new
employee start at work. I seriously wanted to crawl into a hole and
disappear. I wanted to call in sick so bad, but couldn't. Every day is
a struggle with this GI stuff. Dr ordered a CT Scan, just waiting for
insurance. I thought I was getting a little better on Friday (woo
hoo!), to have today be yuk! :( Feel awful, stomach pain galore. I'm
so tempted to go to urgent care again to get the freaking CT scan, as I
don't know if I can wait until sometime next week. This just really
sucks.
So, I only lost 0.2 lbs this week. But, I'm okay with
that. I had 2 days where I didn't eat much. Only got past my activity
baseline twice. And last week was a surprise big loss, so it all evens
out okay. I just want to get through whatever this medical issue is.
Which, I must pat myself on the back, as I'm handling it much better
than in the past! Being laid up like this, I would have just eaten my
way through the pain and spiraled down into a depressed state (whoas
me). But, this time I'm enduring it, going through it. Taking one day,
one moment at a time. Keeping my spirits up, having hope, and staying
committed to the goal. :) I'm not pushing myself either. Like I really
wanted to go to the gym today, but so far that is not happening. If I
can't make it, oh well. We will try again tomorrow. I'm bummed that I
had to cancel plans with several friends this week. It's been a long
time since we've gotten together. But, I'm in no shape to be anywhere
but home. :( I'm just hoping this gets better enough very soon to still
make my Bon Jovi concert on Friday in LA!! I will do everything in my
power to make this!! :)
Well, that's all she wrote on this
Saturday in April. I hope you are having a great weekend and much
success to you! Keep your eye on the prize and full steam ahead (even
if that is just chugging saying I think I can, I think I can...at
times). :)
Cheers,
Jessica
I'm sorry you're having the GI problems. I know that has to be difficult. I hope your insurance approves the CT scan soon and you can let us know how it goes. I'll be praying for you. The fact that you still lost .2 pounds this week is awesome. To lose when sick or having a difficult time is amazing. You're doing awesome!
ReplyDeleteHolly, thanks so much for stopping by! They finally approved it. :) You are an inspiration! Have a great week.
