my update

October 23, 2008

Hi Mandy,

Thanks... well in my home, we wait on our dog, not the other way around! She is really pampered!

You are right, it is good to keep kitties and even other animals in the home - they are good stress relievers!

Hi All,

Thought just want to drop an update on myself on what had happened during the past eventful week...

Last Tue and Thu, I blackouted twice in school, and my colleagues took a while to wake me up... On Thu, as I felt that I kind of fainted after immense pain again, I tried to contact my pain doc, who asked me to go to the hospital's emergency dept as his clinic was closed for the day, and he would meet me there. (Ah, the joy of having doc in private practice, but it cost me a bomb that day!) I received 3 jabs of morphine before the pain was in control. The doc saw that I was pretty dehydrated (from the med I had been taking) and put me on a drip while I was there, and sent me for a chest x-ray and some blood tests. All results came back normal except for a slightly lower lymphocyte level and I was tested positive for mycoplasma antibodies (1: 80 and above for confirmed infection, and my level was 1: 640 .) So I'm put on the antibiotic Klacid for 2 weeks.

The doc also started me on a fentanyl (pain medicine) patch, which I have to leave pasted on my body and have to change the patch every 3 days. The med works in reducing a little of the pain, but I still feel horrid - cant sit upright for too long, or the giddy spells will come back again. For the past week I had fainted at home again 3 times. Will be seeing the pain doc on coming Monday. The doc had said that if I faint again, I may need to see a neurologist ( I hate to see one - had seen at least 7 already, and they can't help me!) Will see how it goes....

Right now, I am just hibernating at home since 10 Oct. Hope to be back at work next Wed...

Since January it has been more of a struggle with such ups and downs it kind of feels like I'm hardly making any progress at all. Lately that seems to be turning around (I hope) and today I achieved 70 pounds gone. And now I am within striking distance (5 lbs) of breaking 200 for the first time in more than a decade!

Gah - for me it's been more the last 12-18 months, for sure! Back on track this week, I just know it. You know, we didn't even eat that poorly this last time I was in CA. Had garlic fries one time and pancakes, but that was really it for eating "bad"

May 24, 2009

The decade was because I was in a place of apathy, denial, depression, and I was so ignoring how I felt about my weight, my life, the act that I am so alone I am in place of tremendous emotional pain. I am still struggling with the emotional pain and how hard it is to get the last 30-40 lbs off isn't helping but is part of the process. I am working on loving myself, seeing how I am worth taking care of and loving. I can control the food for the most part. I am not so strict with myself that I can't eat small portions of what I really want and not beat myself up over it. But I am also switching to a whole foods style of eating which means cooking, a new skill and one that is part of taking care of myself. Yes, I rate healthy nutritious cooked food, not processed food out of a box. So learning the new way of feeding myself, a style I want for the rest of my life not just how I am eating to lose the weight, is a struggle, but a good one. The weight is coming off really slowly now, but I know that is part of where I am at. I just have to figure this stage out, what is it going to take now? But I am 2 1/2 pounds from breaking 200, my goal to break by the end of this month, 1 year since I started at the gym and actively taking control of my weight journey. One thought that helps is that when I do get down to the 198 level, I will be at my high school graduation weight. I thought I was fat then, I was over weight but I so didn't appreciate how not fat it was. I still see this as overweight for me now but I appreciate all that I have let go of so far. What a difference time and the perspective of age can make. G "It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are."~Cheryl Zuccaro On May 24, 2009, at 9:52 AM, ABrite@... wrote:In a message dated 5/10/2009 3:41:07 PM Pacific Daylight Time, seraphimtoo@... writes: Since January it has been more of a struggle with such ups and downs it kind of feels like I'm hardly making any progress at all.

Hi Wanda,

Today I made myself walk 2 miles and I did 30 LL breaths with it. I'm sort of

down today, it's a combination of PMS and the fact that I'm losing both of the

babies that I've been taking care of for over a year. Tomorrow is Evan's last

day. :-( Hannah will be here until the end of August. I'm very attached to both

of them, especially Hannah, because she's so much like my and I've been

taking care of Hannah since she was 2 1/2 months old, she'll be 2 in October. Of

course losing my income is an issue too.

Love, Liz

Hi Liz,

I'm sorry to hear that you are losing your 2 little kids. It's very easy

to become attached to them quickly. Do you do child care? My niece lost

custody of her 5 year old son and they were in town recently and we got

to see them. Even tho I don't see the little boy often, my heart just

went out to him and I can imagine how his mom is feeling. She will have

him until the end of August and then he goes to his dad. It's so hard.

Hi Friends;

I've been on vacation, plus I needed a new monitor, hence my absence; but we're

home for a while before leaving for the Poconos, so just wanted to say that,

since faithfully Life-Lifting every day this Summer, I've lost 12 more pounds

and 7 inches! I'm thrilled, and owe it all to Rashelle, and this wonderful

breathing system.

Also, I was just hired by my parish as our new Religious Education Office

Assistant; good things are happening, and I believe that my positive outlook is

definitely Life-Lift related!

I hope you're all doing well, and will be sure to check in again soon,

Rashelle, I'll have those photos for you when we get back from PA.--

Talk to you all again soon,

Love,

Helene

August 6, 2009

Aw, Liz, I'm sorry. I know that is hard. A few years back I took care of a

baby from 4 months til she was starting pre-school and she was a lot like my

daughter too. I know some other little ones will be coming your way Liz to

take care of; I know how much you enjoy doing daycare. I know the children love

you too.

Keep breathing thru your PMS. ; )

I'll be praying.

Love, Wanda
