Wanna know what I saw on the scale yesterday? 225.5!!! Small victories :)
I ran out of Lasix yesterday and I ran to my favorite Walgreens for a refill, and the nice pharmacist man asked me if I'd like to be enrolled in automatic refills so that I wouldn't run out at the last minute like this again. You know what I answered? "I'm supposed to meet with my neurologist this week and there's a good chance I won't have to take these anymore." The words slipped out of my mouth before I had a chance to think about what I was saying, but I didn't regret it. Do you wanna know why? Because I honestly believe those words to be true. I have goosebumps just thinking about it! I have a good feeling this visit is going to be spectacular.
SPEC-TAC-U-LARRRR.
Speaking of spectacular, I've been killing it at the gym lately. I have successfully completed one week of lifting weights every other day and I can honestly say I feel stronger! I was doing bench presses with two 15 pound free weights last night and I realized 1) my arms weren't trembling and 2) I didn't spend the entire time praying to baby Jesus for strength.
It was 97 degrees out after we finished at the gym making my run home a complete impossibility. I wasn't happy being screwed out of 20 minutes of cardio (and the corresponding 300 calories burned) but I hopefully made up for most of it with an hour in the pool. I swam laps back and forth, effectively raising my heart rate and working my arms, plus I each trip to the pool makes me feel WAY better about the swimsuit I splurged on last year for our trip to Las Vegas. I love multitasking.
I have four workout days left (assuming I wake up early enough on Thursday) before I'm set to meet with my neurologist and I am n-e-r-v-o-u-s. Of course I want to shed as much weight as possible, but at the same time I have to keep reminding myself that this is for my health. Ugh, balance.
