Haven't posted in a few days

  • Haven't posted for a few days...I've been busy, and when I haven't I've been dealing with monster headaches(like now). I didn't get to go to the TOPS meeting and join up this past Friday as I didn't have the money, but this Friday I don't have any excuses unless there is a blizzard...LOL. I also haven't been to the gym since a week ago yesterday(monday)...Wednesday our weather was so bad it was even considered a snow day for my kids....and Friday I ended up going out with my mom to do some shopping and other stuff....I know no excuse. Tomorrow(Wednesday) I am hoping to work out though....I have no excuse for not going there as my son's daycare is in the same building.

    I went to my family doctor today to discuss a few things(including my headaches), and she has taken me off of the Celebrex (which didn't seem to be helping me anyhow, and is prone to creating heart problems). She is starting me on a medication called Epival (it's a seizure med, but used for other things too) for my headaches...hopefully it will work as I have headaches every day and they are usually all day long too. She also is starting me on a Ventolin inhaler to help with my breathing when exercising or when I get coughing attacks (she thinks I may have exercise induced asthma, I know my mom has asthma and my son does also).

    So hopefully I will be back on track this week or at least by next week if my new meds hold me down a bit.
  • I've been wondering how you were?...
    I know that I have busy days or days where I am not feeling well and do not post. I knew that I hadn't seen a post from Penny yesterday, but she is back posting today.

    So glad that you up-dated us on your life this week. I hope that the new meds help you out. I would tell my trainer what the doctor said about exercise induced asthma if I were you. I think that the gym needs to know that.

    Why does life always have to be dictated by finances? Sorry that you didn't have the finances to join TOPS last week. Here's hoping that the funds come through this week for you.

    May you also have a great week of exercise ahead. That is a weak spot of mine that I am working on.

    Hope to see more posts from you this week. Take care of yourself.
