Midweek Check In!

Hello! I told myself that I would check in midweek so here I am.  I have lost 1.8 of the 2.8 pounds that I gained last week!  I have worked out each morning and today went and did a "Fitness North" routine. I went to Victory in Stillwater, Minnesota with Stacey and Steph who both work in the same district as me. We did some spinning, boxing, boxes and good ole' burpees and mountain climbers:) When we were done we headed to down town Stillwater to climb some stairs.  We did 3 sets of UP 120 and Down 120....so that is a total of 720 stairs in case you were wondering.  That was tough! I was drenched when we finished and out of breath. We then went to some Smoothie joint that Stacey has talked about.  I had a Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Protein Smoothie.....It was really good; but not as good as the ones I make at home!  I believe I will be going back to another class next Wednesday morning!

I mentioned in my last blog that I thought there was/is something wrong with my stomach. I did go to the doctor yesterday; she decided to order blood work and I had to give a stool sample...now I told my husband how gross that must be to have to work with someone's poop; he said "they do it all the time it is not a big deal."  When I went back to the hospital last night to drop off my stool sample....or course Jason, whom I know, had to be the one working in the lab...made me even more embarrassed!  He asked me if I knew what they were checking for...I responded; "I have not idea,." and walked out as soon as I could.

The doctor told me to take some GasX and gave me someother kind of medicine that is typically used for ulcers....I know it is not my bowels and my  bowels are not backed up (I don't want to explain how I know this..you can get the picture)....I just have this really weird discomfort in my left upper/middle quadrant of my stomach, and at times it seems to move (NO I AM NOT PREGNANT)....it just feels weird and sometimes hurts a little more!  The doctor told me to wait a week and if it is still happening; then I will have a CT scan!  We will see.

I hope the scale on Sunday gives me a sense of accomplishment....it gets frustrated when I know I have not cheated and have done the things I have been told to do!  We will see.  As for the rest of the week....I am heading to Green Bay Friday morning for the weekend and will be back Sunday afternoon! 

Until Next Time, PEACE OUT!
