Personally - since some of them started yesterday morning before the line was even in - I suspect stress. You can watch her get anxious - it starts on her face, she gets worked up, and then she is sick to her stomach within minutes. The same kind of thing happens to me when I get nerved or anxious. I'm going to stay overnight again, take her to the treatment tomorrow, then go home to get up at 4am Monday and start another day.

Jay - this one is Zosyn primarily, with another one blended in a smaller amount into it. The other choice we had was Meropenam - we would have had to inject that one into the line three times a day ourselves, versus the Zosyn which we go get a bag at a time from the infusion center.

I'm tired, y'all.

Anyone tried online workouts with a woman named "Autumn Calabrese"?

She is the one who created the 21 Day Fix programs, right? If so, I did a couple of demo ones. Didn't stick to them.

Dagmar-- YES!!
She did create 21 day Fix, along with many others.

She is the creator of the one I just finished and am repeating-- 80 day obsession. She also has a fun dance one called Country Heat!

Just googled the country heat dance one... i definitely want to check it out!

Five days of antibiotics down for MIL, nine to go. A few gastrointestinal side effects popping up, but we can already see what appears to be improvement. Hoping the side effects don't get worse or cause us to stop the treatment.

A woman in my office just got an Edible Arrangement from our bank, so had a nice fresh fruit afternoon snack.

Hope everyone is doing great today. :)

Hi folks, sorry I disappeared for a while, it was very hectic with prep for my kids' birthday, then my mom being in town! In any case my kids successfully turned 5, much birthday cake was eaten, and my mom went back home yesterday. We got the kids bikes for their birthday so I forsee more physical activity in our future. I put the training wheels up a little bit but I think I have to move them back down so they can get used to the correct posture first. My mom and I took the girls out on their bikes the other day and I logged 12k steps walking after them!

Anyway my weight is all messed up from the weekend of cake and such, even though other than the cake I think I did a good job. Whenever my mom comes we have a lot of restaurant meals, but I did a good job of portion control and mostly ordering healthier options. (I feel victorious for not cleaning my plate at any of those meals!)

Mudpie 05-02-2018 09:13 AM

Jessica :bravo: on the healthier meal choices and the not so shiny plate!

Dagmar :cheer2:

iriswhispers 05-02-2018 05:05 PM

Jessica, happy birthday to your kiddos! I'm sure your bike running will balance out the cake in no time. Definite congrats are in order for keeping things in control otherwise.

I'm back to counting calories on myfitnesspal. I've done this all before, but I don't remember always being so hungry in the process. Sigh. So I'm hungry and forgoing my daily beer, but my clothes still don't fit. I also forgot that this is not an instantaneous fix.

I got back from a laid-back vacation (read little exercise) and jumped right back into the treadmill only to hurt my hip again. So I'm laying low to get the pain gone and then will start back up slowly. In the mean time, I'm going to try kept. Not sure if I'll like it or not, but nothing makes it seem icky. The foods seem good (I like cheese!). We'll see if this jumpstarts some loss for me.

Hubby has had a terrible cold for almost 2 weeks now. Refuses to seek medical assistance because "doctors don't treat guys". Due to his terrible cough and our lack of a second bedroom I haven't slept much the last two weeks.

And now the dog is due for surgery tomorrow. I told hubby he can either go to a clinic or a doctor or he can rent a motel room.

I'm curious to see what he chooses.

Dagmar :rollpin:

Iris-- I LOVE the Country Heat dancing! So fun and doesn't feel at all like working out-- but I am definitely sweating and burning calories! I like to do that one in the mornings to wake my body up and put myself in the right frame of mind for the day.

Dagmar-- good luck with hubby and surgery!!

My daughter arrives at midnight tonight-- we go tomorrow to pick up her wedding dress (she'll bring back to Texas to alter it)-- we are going to look for a dress for me too. She leaves early Sunday-- hopefully I can not to too far off the rails with meals and exercise.

Dagmar - best of luck and fingers crossed.

I had a super busy last 6 days, traveling to give guest lectures and squeezing in visits to my parents, my sister and her family, and my MIL. The positive part about it being so hectic with my running for trains, buses, etc. (I did everything without a car) was that I was way too busy to overeat. I spent all my free time just being with people. It's impossible to sustain manic activity in the long term but in short bursts it's pretty fun. So much positive energy from visiting with family and friends! And I'm a few pounds down.
