April 23 updateI am feeling much better. I can do most things I was before just not with as much intensity as before. I am just getting back at it very slowly. I was very sick on Monday. I think I ate just too much fat and it hurt SO BAD!! It’s starting to work its way through my system now and I am feeling better. I HAVE to be careful about what I eat. I don’t normally eat much fat anyway but I guess I was indulging too much. Anywho, I was going to do a video blog but I just am not happy with the ones I have done so I may or may not post them. I know I had stuff to say but I forgot because I have been working on this for the last 3 hours between calls. LOL! I will post more as I think of it.
~~Wendy April 18 UpdateHi there everyone!
I bet you have been wondering where I have been and what is going on. Maybe not, but I am gong to tell you anyway. :)
I am back at work. It is nice to be back on a schedule even though it includes work. LOL! I got a little sick yesterday morning for some reason but I felt better by lunch time. I still can't wear my jean or usual pants part because my belly button still hurts and I gain a little weight from sitting around. It's ok though. Once I get up and moving around, it will come off.
I went to the gym and tried doing some circuit training. I did about 20 minutes and that was about all I could tolerate.
I do have some things I want to say about the winners of the contest but I want to do it via video blog so there are no misunderstandings about what I was trying to say. That's it for now! Take it easy. Also, I have a My Space page. Be sure to add me if you have one too!!
~~ Wendy April 14 Still HomeI had to go to Urgent Care yesterday. I was having major pain in my liver/pancreas area. I don't know what is wrong. The word hepatitis has been thrown around once too many times now so I started to do some reading and I found out that hepatitis A can be contract through raw seafood/fish. It didn’t even occur to me that the day before this all happened, I had sushi! OMG! My sushi days are WAY OVER! Could it be that this is what started all of this? Plus, they said you can’t really do anything about it and it just has to basically work its way out of your system, so to speak. It could also be a stone caught in my bile duct that is causing it. If that is the case, I might have to have an oral surgeon go in through my mouth and pluck that little guy out of there. I feel fine as long as I don’t eat. That’s not good either! UGH!
So, needless to day, I did not go back to work today. I am going back to the doc today at 5PM CT to see what she has to say. At this point, I really WANT to get back to work and back to a NORMAL life but I am going to assume that it won’t be till next week before I go back. I don’t think I could sit at my desk all day with as uncomfortable as I have been the last 24 hours.
Is there anyone out there that is ill too? If so, let’s have a challenge. Since any major workouts are going to be out of the question, let’s at least try to get out and walk for about 30 min every day just to get out of the house. I think it’s so important to not stay sitting around and watching TV all day. Let’s face it, daytime TV really bites! Let me know how you are doing. I am going to get up now and try to get some walking in.
~~Wendy April 12 Video I made for my nieceHi everyone! I made a video in honor of my nieces graduation next month. It's not done yet but I wanted to give a sneak peek to see what you all thought. ~~ Wendy
April 11 Test ResultsYEAH! My liver enzymes are getting better!! That means my body is healing nicely. WHEW! That is good news. I am going to do a video blog today. I did one yesterday but I didn't like it so I erased it. I am too lazy to sit here and type. LOL! YEAH for me!!!
 ~~~Wendy April 09 Doc appointmentHi there! Went to the doc today and things look good!! YEAH! I will be going back to work on Monday.
 Ok, I am going to actually be ready for that unless I win the lottery this week. LOL! So, I guess I will be going back to work. I am really tired though. I didn't sleep very well last night. Well, I just wanted to take a minute to update everyone. I am going to go take a hot bath and relax the rest of the day.~~Wendy April 08 Something to check outHi everyone! I have been watching this show on TLC called "I Can Make You Thin". It is very good and has some good information. I still believe you have to keep a check on what you eat and eat healthy but the overall techniques he uses make sense and seem to work. Check it out:
Been feeling better today. Talked to my supervisor and she has this wish that I would be going back to work on Thursday this week but I am sure it will be Monday. LOL! It's nice to feel wanted that's for sure. Then I got a call from a gal in Human Resources and they are firming dates when Marty and Amy will be coming to speak and they want me to do the introduction in front of 400 people. LOL! UGH! I think I can do it. I have done some public speaking so I just need to take a deep breath and just go for it. OH! Be sure to pick up the latest issue of US Magazine. Marty and Amy have a HUGE wedding picture in there and a small article. I do know they are going to be in People magazine as well. I think it's going to be the next issue. I looked through the current one and they weren't in there. Man, I really want to get back to boot camp.
Good things come to those who wait, right?! Anyway, Katie is supposed to be coming over tonight. Maybe we can do a v-blog. She has some bad news but I am not going to blurt it out. I will let her decide if she wants to do that or not. Don't worry, she isn't sick or anything and her relationship is going really well. I won't say anymore because it's not my place but WE LOVE YOU KATIE AND ARE HERE FOR YOU!!!
 Well, it's amost Biggest Loser time so I gotta run.
Take care! ~~ Wendy
April 07 Finally some sleepMan! I had not been sleeping well all weekend but I got a goods night sleep last night. Today I am going to go to the gym and walk on the tread mill. it's too cold to get outside today. Yesterday my hubby and I went for a walk up to Walgreens (about a mile round trip) and picked up a few things. It was a really beautiful day!! After that, I laid on the floor and fell asleep. When I woke up I felt like I was going to throw up. I think it must have been the way I was laying. I tried to sleep in our bed last night but I just felt this pulling on my side and like things moving around so I had to go back to the couch.
I think they forgot to "tack" things down in there! LOL! I actually cooked dinner last night. Well, I warmed a few things up. It's better then having Subway AGAIN! But you can't beat $5.00 foot long subs! I eat half for lunch and half for dinner. Well, I am going to run now...errr, I mean walk! LOL! Won't be ready for running for a couple more weeks. At least I should be ready to do some running by the time I get my new orthotics made specifically for maratons and running. YEAH! Anyway, gotta go! Take it easy everyone and thanks for all the support!!~~ Wendy April 05 BoredI think I am going crazy!! I am SO BORED!! It's going to be a nice day so I am going to make my hubby go for a walk with me. I think i am going to do something daring here in a bit and drive up to Fashion Bug. It's less then a mile from here and I need to find some pants that are going to be loose around my belly for tonight. I am going to attempt to go to the Arena football game tonight. I will probably only make it through half the game but I NEED to get out of this house before I go insane and take my husband with me! LOL! Yesterday I folded some laundry and put it away. Don't worry, I had my hubby do the lifting. I am on a 20 lb weight restriction. I was pretty sore by about 8pm last night. I am staying true to only taking my pain meds at night. I think for me, that is the best thing because then I know if I am pushing myself too far. If I numb the pain, then I won't know if I am pushing myself too much till it's too late. Ok, enough with the "poor me" crap! Time to get out there!!! LOL! As you can see from the pic below, the swelling has gone down A LOT! I took that this morning
April 03 More about my little emergencyThanks everyone for the comments. After I got up and started moving around, I realized it was WAY to soon to jump on a treadmill or elliptical. I just walked up and down the stairs here at home for about 10 mins and that was plenty. I think I was feeling better earlier when I wrote that. LOL! I am trying to stay away from taking the pain meds so I dont get addicited. (I have an addictive personality. That's another whole other story. LOL!) I took a nice nap until the phone started ringing. People just checking in on me. I took a picture of my belly with my cell phone. I should put that up. At least I had all that extra skin for that air to have a place to settle. LOL! I knew it would come in handy some day. LOL! When I went to put my clothes on the leave the hosiptal I was laughing saying that I was skinnier when I came in then when I left. LOL! Katie and I were also joking with the nurse asking if she knew how much a gall bladder weighed so I would know how much permanant weight I lost. LOL! Katie said I should have gone for a kidney or something bigger. LOL! Anyway, I will get after my hubby to put up those video blog and I will do one this weekend too during my recovery. Take care!
~~Wendy Emergencyhi everyone!
Well, Katie and I made a new v-blog but we haven't put it up yet. Monday I ended up having emergency surgery and having my gallbladder removed. UGH! Needles to say, it's been a long week. The only thing I am going to be allowed to do is to walk. In fact they are insisting that I get up and go for walks. In most cases you aren't allowed to do anything for a long time. I wanted to go outside and walk but it's raining so I will either have my hubby drop me off at the gym or i will try the elliptical and see if that works. They pump alot of air into your body in order to remove it so the only way to get it out is to get up and walk. So, I will get up and do my little shuffle walk here in a little bit. First thing will be a shower!!! Well, that's what is going on right now. I will try to keep up better.
~~Wendy |
