SPINNING MY WAY BACK 2 ME... by 40!

spelin01, twinmom2791, and sillygirl, thank you soooo much! You are all RIGHT!! I think I was just freaking myself out yesterday a little. You guys are the best!!!!!!! I will update my diary when I return. For now, I need to drink 32 ounces of water within the next hour and HOLD IT until they do the ultrasound at 12:30!! I am sure JellyBelly will be happy! ha ha Thanks you guys! BIG HUGS GOING YOUR WAY FROM CALIFORNIA!!!!!!!!:) :) :)
 
Your doing awsome and i think you will be fine your a wonderful person and i am praying for you i think your overreacting!
 
last night I was so tired... so drained and so tired of worrying. I went to the doctor yesterday... it was just supposed to be for an ultrasound, the kind they do on your belly...she explained it would only take a few minutes... So I went, she did the ultrasound, and then she said (the technician) "uh, we should do a vaginal ultrasound too, your doctor may want that one too" she told me to go empty my bladder and to come right back. Then we were talking about kids and she told me her son died from a brain tumor when he was 6 years old and I said "oh my gosh I am so sorry!", then I told her "that's what I am afraid of..... cancer." Her response was, "you have to remember, we are all here ON BORROWED time" so of course, I am thinking the worse... she must have seen something in my ultrasound, but of course was not at liberty to give me ANY information!

She told me,
" we will give your doctor a VERBAL this afternoon" (she said normal procedure was the they view the ultrasound pictures and write up a report and send the report to the doctor)

"call your doctor tomorrow morning......"

So I have been trying to call this morning... will try again right now.. I woke up with a more clear mind and so I am trying not to stress out. I just need to know what if anything I am going to have to deal with. So here I am.
On a POSITIVE note, I FINALLY made the scale move...YAY!!!
It was a pound... not ONLY a pound but 3500 calories that I burned through my cycling class!!
It's coming off SOO slow but I FEEL better and my pants fit MUCH better too...
Didn't go to my 5:45 spin class this morning and I don't really feel guilty. I brought my workout clothes to work and will go during my lunch hour to the gym and try for 40 minutes on the elliptical.

Did awesome with my water yesterday!
Today, I only have drank 16 ounces. I better get my water now! Happy day everyone!!!!!
 
Okay, I work in the healthcare field and you NEVER should tell a patient your working on about your personal "issues". Of course you feel terrible about her son, but that was professionally inappropraite and then the "borrowed time" comment. I am sorry, but you DO NOT DO THAT! It was extremely unprofessional...so please don't take what she said to heart. This person obviously has issues if these are things she is sharing with patients! And then to say she was going to give a verbal versus writing report...they do both depending on when the dr wants the report. In your case he may have wanted a verbal by the end of the day so that he could determine what course of action to take next. I am sure your technician was nice, but the comments were extremely inappropraite and unprofessional! You stand strong and try hard to not let those comments get you too upset. We are here for you one way or the other! Congrats on the pound!!! YAY for you!!!!! You have been going through so much and still losing a pound! I am totally a stress eater...so I would have gaind a pound by now:D !!! CHeering for you from NY!!!!!
 
Wow, ciaoana, awesome job so far!!:D

You're so motivated, you seem like you don't let circumstances bring you down...I admire that a lot!

:cool:
 
Hi Ciaoana, thanks for posting in my diary. I too think that was an incredibly unprofessional thing to say. Hope she was stressing you out for nothing. I've heard of a similar experience recently in a real life story I read. Anyway, about my diet - I'm not exercising. The program I'm doing is called Dr. Cohens lifestyle clinic. You may have heard of it. It requires blood tests to be done, and Dr. Cohen works out an individual program based on the results. Its low carb, and we are advised not to begin exercising if we arent already, but I plan on doing that down the track. I did the program originally back in 2003 and lost 40kgs in 5 months. Amazingly, I looked toned, and felt fantastic. Unfortunately I fell pregnant before I reached my goal weight and miscarried. Its taken me this long to get serious about it again. Happily I didnt put on all the weight I'd lost. And what I did regain, took quite awhile. When a person gets to 2kilos above goal weight, they are given a refeed program and guidelines which if followed allow them to eat normally again and not regain the weight.

Well I'm hoping you have positive news from you dr. Will check in to find out.
 
Hi ana, so sorry to hear you are going through all of this. Notice you haven't posted since yesterday morning so I am, as I am sure everyone is, wondering what your results were. Please know that you are in my thoughts.
 
That woman was awful! Do not worry at all based on what she said. She is a technician, not a doctor. My sister works doing Cat scans and Body Scans. I had the latter done when I first hurt my back. She would not venture a guess as to what she saw even for me because she is not qualified.

Whatever happens we'll be there for you, but you have no reason for extra worry.
 
HI there!! Hope all went well with your doctor. Please come back and let us know what happend. Just a little worried.
When i was 14 years old, I had really bad pains and all of a sudden it got to the opoint where I could not walk. i never had regular periods, so I went to the docs. and sure enough I got an ultrsound on my tummy and I had a 12 tumor on my left ovarie. They said that if I would've have put this off any longer the tumor would've popped and bleed and I would've died:( .
Not trying to scare you. But they took it out safely and did not remove nothing but the tumor and it had hair & bones :eek: Yucky, That is like months of bad sh*t in my insides.
ANyhow, Whatever it is you'll be just fine and get through it. Stay Strong and POSITIVE. Have a GREAT weekend. Drink your WATER:p
 
I am here with good news.... and relieved!

First of all, I just want to tell you all thank you sooo much for being so supportive...you all really kept me staying positive more than you will ever know. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
I went to the doctor on Friday 6/23. Had good news and bad news. Good news is that there is no cancer or ovarian cyst. Bad news is that what is causing the pain I am having is either scar tissue from my 2 c-sections OR endomitriosis (sp?). Either way, they have to go in with a scope to see what it is. Both require surgery. My doctor requested a second opinion so I scheduled that. Soonest avail. is August! If it's just the scar tissue...they just go in and scrape it off... could come back in time. If it is endomitriosis, then they go in and burn off the lesions (lasor). So I am happy and relieved that it isn't anything serious! I can handle this!

Last Thursday and Friday, I went to my spinning classes. Sounds mean but the WHOO HOO instructors microphone was broken - I was sooo happy! ha ha Made my day!!


I was watching 20/20 over the weekend. It was about YOUR BODY. Did anyone else watch it?

here is a little exerpt from it with regard to metabolism:

Levine says the reasons behind weight gain are simple. People who weigh more move less.


"People with obesity have a tendency to be seated, a natural tendency to be seated for two-and-a-half hours per day more," Levine said.


Levine believes people can combat obesity by simply moving more. Even standing up at your desk can increase your metabolism by 40 percent.

Interesting isn't it. It makes sense though... my husband is a commercial pressman. He is on his feet 8-12 hours per day and eats SOOO many calories a day he eats breads, rice, potatoes- ICE CREAM DAILY... and he doesn't gain an ounce... oh and he NEVER exercises. I sit all day at my computer and walaah... my weight has gone up...
 
I am so happy an relieved to hear things are okay!!!! SO happy for you! You can handle this other stuff, so that is great!!!!! I totally agree with the 20/20 info....I spend time at the computer and I certainly don't move around as much as I used to. So you have motivated me to try to limit my sit time and try to move more....hell there are plenty of things in my house I have been avoiding that I could accomplish!!! So I will try! Again.....YAY for you!!!
 
Thank goodness your news was relatively good...meaning it's something they can treat it's not too critical. Although I've heard either one must cause you a tremendous amount of pain and discomfort. But glad you are getting it taken care of and hope all goes well when they finally get you in.

Hope you have a great week!!!
