And That’s….the Truth

Last week my husband had a tiny health scare so he has decided to start living a healthier lifestyle. He has been checking out some natural fat burners and has just joined our local gym. He is a bit overweight and had chest pains last week so thought he could be having a heart attack. He’s only 43 so this really did scare him. Thankfully the pains were really nothing. But this did make him sit up and take notice. For his health’s sake, I really do hope he continues on his healthy journey.

Well I’m a person who certainly doesn’t need to invest in any top rated diet pills or anything like that. I am seriously underweight. For the past two months now I have been trying to put on weight and I think I’m on the right track. I have been eating a lot more than I used to and I have also been taking a daily vitamin. Hopefully if I keep up this routine I will eventually get to the ideal weight that I need to be. Then all I need to do is figure out a way to keep it on.

For the past month or so I have not been sleeping very well at all. And then when I wake up in the morning I feel like I haven’t slept a wink at all and I am then tired for the entire day. Well last night I went to sleep at 9:00 pm and slept until 7:00 am this morning. I feel great! I think I may even have the energy this afternoon to crank out the few articles on how to build muscle fast that I have been putting off for a few days. So… hopefully my not sleeping at night is firmly behind me now.

Well this is the first sick day of the school year. My son woke up this morning with a fever and a stomach ache so I kept him home from school. I hope it’s nothing serious and just the stomach flue or something. I’m going to the drug store a little later to get some children’s Advil for him and hopefully that will do the trick. At least I don’t have to purchase a fat burner for him. Hopefully a bit of Advil and he will be good to go once again. At least it’s the weekend so he does have a couple of days to shake this.

There is nothing I hate worse in life than playing the waiting game. And for the past six weeks, that’s what I’ve been doing. Six weeks ago I had a test performed at the doctors and still haven’t received word yet and how it went. It’s driving me crazy. The only thing I can tell you is that it has nothing to do with diet pills for weight loss problems. But other than that, all I can do is wait. Man… I hope the tests come back soon or I’m really going to go a little crazy.

After receiving my test results, I have to tell you all that I’ve been feeling pretty great. I guess I didn’t quite realize the stress that I was under while waiting for these results to come back. Yes, I knew I really didn’t have to worry about purchasing some prenatal vitamins, but I was awfully concerned about what was happening with my system. But as my doctor told me, I’m in really great health and don’t have anything to worry about at this point in my life. So I guess the stress is gone.

A little over a week ago I went to the hospital to have a massive amount of blood work done. Well yesterday my Dr.’s office called and the results are in. So today I am headed over to the Dr.’s to find out what he has to say. I’m not really concerned about all this and just kind of figure I’ll deal with whatever he says when I get there. It’s not like he’s going to prescribe fast weight loss pills or anything like that, but I’m not real sure what will happen. I’ll be sure to stop by later with my results.

Last week I went to the doctor’s and really didn’t receive any good news. Right now I am seriously underweight and my blood pressure is dangerously low. So now I have to go for a battery of tests on Tuesday and being a person who is seriously afraid of needles, I am not looking forward to this. The doctor has prescribed me some vitamins (no not a prenatal vitamin) and is ordering me to eat more to put on some weight. After the test results come back I guess then we’ll take it from there. Hopefully he can figure out what’s going on and I’ll be back to normal soon.

I’ve got to say that this has been a horrible month for me and my family. First my son came down sick and after taking him to the doctor’s and them using medical equipment on him, his father came down sick. Then to top it all off I managed to catch the sickness. But I’d like to report that we are all feeling much better and seem to be on the mend. Now hopefully my daughter doesn’t get it and then we can all finally be healthy once again.

I’m still not feeling 100%, but I am feeling a whole lot better than I did on Friday or Saturday. Man…. I was sick. I can handle the coughing and the chest congestion, but the one thing that I have a real hard time dealing with is the sinus problems. And that’s what I had. But today I feel a whole lot better. I think I may actually get some work done on my computer today. I plan on finding a receipt printer for my home business and actually have the energy to browse the Internet for a while. So I think I’m on the mend!
