Monday Musings

In the past few weeks, I have had several encounters where someone said, "I didn't know that about you." Being a lover of random acts of kindness and random thoughts, I decided to make it easier for my friends and list some of them here. (Makes it easier to avoid small talk later. No offense...)

  1. Yes, I used to be quiet and shy. It was my protection against a screwed up family. (You have no idea...) Ditched the family & ditched the shell.
  2. Yes, I have performed stand-up comedy & received a standing ovation every single time. I'm working on plans to return to it this summer!
  3. Yes, I do hate Tom Brady and Christian Laettner equally. There is no other athlete that will ever be able to cause my blood to boil in the way these two gals do.
  4. Yes, I really am working to obtain a pilot's license.
  5. No, I do not have a romantic bone in my body. No seriously, romantic gestures make me suspicious. Besides, I much prefer my funny bone!
  6. No, I do not have dreams of 2.5 kids and a white picket fence. Never have, never will. And no, I don't have anything against those who do. I just know I'd feel like a caged animal & die a slow death inside. Been there, done that.
  7. Yes, I did go to the National Spelling Bee & National Free Throw Championships in the same year. 
  8. Yes, I really do make inappropriate jokes at inappropriate times. It eases the tension (at least for me.)
  9. I will high five or give "knucks" to anyone. There are approximately 10 people allowed to hug me. 
  10. If you "knew me from school", I can assure you that you don't know me anymore unless you've spoken to me in the past year or so. But I'm always open to have a drink and chat! Just don't expect me to be the timid, smart girl. Well, I'm still smart but more smartass than timid. I can also assure you that I want to leave the world a better place than I found it.

Heart Health

Contrary to popular opinion, I do have a heart. My new doctor confirmed it today, right before she told me it isn't working properly. Before I get to that though, I must brag on her. It was my first visit with her and after having such crappy doctors in the past, I wasn't expecting much difference. But, I knew I wanted a female as I'm so sick of being told move more, eat less and weight loss will happen by some man who doesn't give a rat's ass about hormonal issues. Luckily, I found a new female doctor here and decided to give her a try. Two minutes into my visit, I knew she "gets it." We discussed my weight, palpitations, working out and stress levels. When I told her I couldn't get my BP down, she mentioned that I'm on allergy meds and they're notorious for fluid retention and raising my BP. Duh, Missy! When I told her I'd gained 30 pounds in a year, despite working out with a trainer, she admitted that she has gained 10+ pounds in t...

Day One

Today was day one of getting up at 5 a.m. to meet with my trainer. I was actually up early, fearful I would oversleep. I ended up getting to the gym early & was able to squeeze in some cardio, which was good for my achilles. In the early stages, I am not sure how long it take to warmup, drive there, etc so I figured I'd set the tone right from day one by being early.  After meeting Eli, my trainer, we went over all the standard contract stuff and took some measurements. Talk about a wake-up call. I am not going to post them here 'cause quite frankly, it is no one's business but mine. However, it made me see just how much 3 D&Cs and an achilles injury in the past 18 months has really affected my body. Putting it down on paper made it real and it motivated me to say "Never again." Getting to the gym early was easier than I thought. Yes, it's day one and I'm sure that will change, but I used to do it every single day when I was on the radio. I ...

Some Answers Finally

Well, my blood work came back & I finally have some answers. In fact, it was so clear that I might even skip my treadmill test. My fatigue, inability to lose weight, headaches, palpitations, joint/muscle pain...all of it is because of one vitamin deficiency, B-12. Yep, I'm anemic. I always thought that was the case, but I figured it was iron. While my iron is technically low, it is nothing like my B-12, which is virtually non-existent. I'm also battling an infection somewhere, but we can't figure that one out. My guess is my sinuses, simply due to history and weather. But the B-12 has been such a revelation for me. Now that I have answers, I can make a game plan to respond. With just two mega doses in me, I already feel lke a different person. Scary to think one little thing can create such havoc in our bodies, especially when I take multi-vitamins.  On a non-health related note, I am currently reading this book:  Oh my goodness, talk about life-changing. The author use...
