I’m so sorry about the health issues piling on. I do, however, have some news that might make you smile.

(I’m emailing.)

Somehow, despite being deprived of my addictive-yet-grueling workout routine, I’ve managed to lose another pound. That’s the good news, at least.

As for the ER trip, yes, it had a bit to do with the reason I’m not working out. Unfortunately, I have a number of health issues going on simultaneously.

Oh, dear. I totally feel your pain. No really. Right here in the bilateral knees region.

I went to the primary, who said ‘NO EXERICISE AT ALL’ (mean ol’ Major Bossy Doctor) so I’ve been slowly bloating back up to prior proportions (not really, but that’s what it feels like) and I just finally made my initial appointment today with the physical therapist.

I sure hope there’s an “at home” element to this. Because I’ll have to resort to chocolate and then we know what happens. I’m not sure I can survive the self-loathing and guilt.

P.S. Is that the reason for your ER trip? It matters not, I’m just glad you’re okay.

My doctor’s got me benched, too, which truly sucks. She insisted “NO rigorous activity”, which I immediately took to rule out hurdling while still permitting a leisurely jog, right?

Wrong.

So now I’m benched for even longer with clearer instructions: “No exercise.” M’kay… but surely slow walking on the treadmill or lifting dumb bells while seated on the sofa don’t count. Right?

Right?????

Man, I need my endorphin fix. Need it, I tell ya!

[Addicts Anonymous Drone] Hi Kate!

Heh. I totally understand the endorphin addict in you. There are so many benefits of regular exercise – things which I didn’t understand until my torrid affair with Sir Tread de Mill. Except I’ve suddenly found myself benched temporarily by (of all things) patellofemoral pain syndrome/”runners knee.” Shit.

A wise friend once told me to put away the scale. If you insist on keeping track of things, use measurements instead. Or hell, just use your clothes, rings and other things to tell you how it’s going. In other words, are those horrible “fat pants” now way too loose? I’ve lost about 15 pounds but more than 8 inches and at least one dress size since September. Personally, I seem to have hit a scale “plateau” but things have been “shifting,” for lack of a better term and I’m toning musculature in places I didn’t realize had muscles.

At any rate, I’m thrilled for you and glad to hear things are going well for you!

Stick with it, girl! The weight training really pays off in the long run. Doesn’t show on the scale, but you’ll be glad you did it when those cafeteria-lady arms wave goodbye.

I can so relate to the mind change you went through; from viewing everything else as more important than yourself to realizes you are a priority and other things can be put on the back-burner.

It’s amazing how much better I feel since I lost about 50lbs. I’m able to accomplish more now, because I have the energy. Before I lost my weight, I felt I had to rest after every task.

In fact, my weight-loss is what encouraged me to start blogging. I even overcame my embarrassment and posted before and after photos to encourage others–They can do it!!!!!

Oh, absolutely, especially now that the grand total is 12 1/2 lbs. I’ve hit a plateau at this point, despite increasing my cardio, but I’m sure that’s going to change as long as I keep at it.

Oh, nothing succeeds like the sweet taste of success! Don’t you love how those jeans slip on so easily now?
