If you follow me at all on Twitter or Facebook you’ll already know a little bit about what’s been going on this week. It started Saturday with what I thought was just a gas bubble under my ribs. I went to be with a lot of pain, but expecting it to be gone in the morning. It didn’t go away. It did get worse though. By Monday I was in enough pain that I went to the Dr. He said it was my gall bladder and that I’d probably need it removed right away. He wanted me to get an ultrasound, took some blood tests and some x-rays and told me to go directly to the ER if things got worse. Well, they did. I went to the ER yesterday and got the ultrasound, took more blood tests, more x-rays and they came back with a diagnosis of “Gallstones”. They said that my gall bladder isn’t infected so there’s no rush to have it removed, but it won’t really get better either. I”m supposed to watch what I eat and talk to a surgeon about getting my gall bladder removed. Read the rest of this entry »

So I still have trouble getting out of bed before 7am.  But instead of getting upset with myself for not getting up earlier, and then not doing any exercising, I just did the exercises after I did wake up.  I feel really good about the fact that I actually did start working out.  However, the working out just killed me and I only did 75% of what I was going to do!  LOL!

I used Walking away the Pouds, by Leslie Samsone.  I did the 1st mile “Get up and Get Started”, and was able to keep going for 15 minutes!  Of course my legs are tired and killing me, but I think it’s worth it none the less.

I’ve downloaded and printed out the pages from “Body For Life” website and started filling them out.  I need to go grocery shopping and get a bunch of different things to eat.  None of the food that is on the list of “authorized” foods is very different from what I’m already eating.  Although going out to eat will be only once a week or less.  Other than that, the only difference with the food I eat now, and what I will be eating is that it won’t be white flour in bread, tortillas and pasta, it’ll be wheat or other whole grains.  I love yogurt, cottage cheese, and fruits and vegies.  I”ll still be able to eat meat and some carbs and fats.  So basically just a little healthier than I have been, and more often!  LOL!

So even though my legs are tired, it was still a great day!  I”m glad I wrapped my head around not needing to exercise at a specific time and just exercise when I get up.
