I thought it was a tumor!
rn
Woo hoo!! Buddyslim has returned! I was completely devastated without my beloved buddyville today!!!!
rn
rn
rn
Life is going well!! (well, except for the tumor business)
rn

Last night we attended our monthly Condo Board Meeting again, and FINALLY we were told we are getting my very favorite elliptical fixed. FINALLY!!!! And, in addition to that, we are getting a new treadmill and a new elliptical. (I mean, it?s only been 2 ? months!)
rn
rn
This will make THREE ellipticals and two treadmills?This makes Dawnie very very happy?And when Dawnie is happy, the whole world sighs in relief!
rn
rn
So?Last night, I put on my workout gear?Now, I prefer to work out in the Capri type sweat pants. Usually the low waisted type with draw strings?
rn
rn
So I have this pair on last night, and blessedly, they are getting too big on me?So I end up pulling them up most of the time?(I don?t mind, really, because, isn?t that burning more calories, repetitive pulling up my pants motion???)
rn
rn
Well?I notice that my stomach kinda ?feels? funny?And by that, I mean, I felt something under my skin?(I swear it buddies!!!)
rn
rn
So I poke, and prod, and wiggle all around?Trying to figure out what it is?I go work out, then proceed to sit in the condo meeting?The whole time feeling my stomach about, oh, every three minutes?
rn
rn
Now?My OCD has already taken root in my evil little brain?
rn
rn
And I am like. OH MY GOD. I have a tumor. An ulcer. Stomach cancer?Belly button rejection. Something. Something is not right.
rn
rn
PLUS my stomach was a bit sore?I assumed this was the cancer spreading?And I start to panic in my head?I plan it all out?How the doctor visit will go?How I will deliver the news to my family and friends?Even how my funeral will go, because, of course, in my head, I have the worst, most unusual, and totally fatal version of stomach cancer?Truly. By the time I get home I have myself dead and buried and haunting some of you!!!
(And you KNOW who you are!!!
)
rn
rn
So my concern must have shown on my face or perhaps after 14 years he just knows how crazy I am, at any rate, Steve asks me what?s up??? I say ?I think I have a tumor??He was like ?What????? and I repeat? ?I think I have a tumor!!!?
rn
rn
So, I have him come over and feel all around my belly?I?m like ?Do you feel it? My tumor? Feel how hard it is??
rn
rn
He laughs and says ?Dawn, that is NOT a tumor?That?s your stomach muscle!!!?
rn
rn
Now, in my defense?I have been doing stomach crunches nightly. But I changed them some a few months ago?I started doing them slightly different?Well, I didn?t feel the change was working as well as in the past, so just Sunday, I switched back to doing them the old way? And immediately felt a burn, which is good?
rn
rn
Well, I am not entirely convinced that he is right?But it does make sense. My stomach was sore, and the hardness wasn?t concentrated in a ball, like I imagine it would be?Sooo. I am going to say that for now, I don?t have a tumor.
rn
rn
Apparently, I have a stomach muscle, or some more fat has dropped off revealing the muscle?Something happened this week to make me notice it, that?s for sure!!!
rn
rn
Still, though, I think I shall ask my doctor when next I see her to check my stomach?JUST to be safe!!!!!
rn
rn
Most likely, she will laugh at me too?
rn
rn
Well, I sure hope you all have a great night! I am heading off here to go do MORE stomach crunches?Gotta get that stomach flat flat flat?Bathing suite season is quickly arriving!!!
rn
rn
Love you all and I missed you guys like CRAZY today!!!
rn
rn
Cheers!

You are too funny!
Glad it wasn’t a tumor!! You are truly a riot with your OCD!! Honestly I laughed out loud at this one!! I’m very glad you are getting extra workout equipment! Good for you!! And the fact that you didn’t have to blow a gasket at this condo meeting is progress I feel!! Enjoy those crunches!!! I’ve been doing mine on the weight bench slanted up lately.. Those are painful!! Where is my tumor?
Oh Dawnie, your priceless! Enjoy those abs my dear, you’ve worked hard for them!
I read somewhere a long time ago the same sort of thing happened to this lady except it was a bump on her side, well she asked her hubby to check it out and he laughed, it was her hip bone poking through!
are you seriose, I thought I was the only nut case that did this sort of thing. I am glad I am not the only one. I am was laughing out load your story really hit home.

Oh my goodness, you scared me half to death. I never read blogs and I saw your title and I was like OMG!OMG!OMG! and then I’m not going to lie, your story brightened my day, I dot that stuff all the time. I fell on my knee and swore I broke it yet I still go to the gym everyday…broken? I don’t think so. Anyways, glad everything is okay and I don’t know you, but hey, we’re all in this together.
Congratulations!!! Enjoy all the hard work!!!
Cool!! Dawn the lumpy Diva!! Just wait until the other five come in. Maybe this is the beginning of your six pack!!
You are nuttier than I imagined you to be!
Hey, I’m happy about the new equipment. I know exactly how thrilled you must be!
You are a total NUT!!! But I love ya anyway.
You are funny! Way to go. I admit I do that sort of thing all the time. Just keep it up girl, your doing great!
You crack me up! YEAH for the hubby to pull through again with good news. Great about the extra new workout equipment awesome news! Your doing GREAT.
I totally can relate. I didn’t know what my stomach muscle was either.
And freaking about about cancer? I have that covered too :}
Yah muscles!
Confusing a muscle for a tumor? Original. Ha ha. That’s funny. Dawn, I really liked yesterday’s blog entry! It sounded like the epitome of what an “AWWW” moment should be like. I have hope! Way to go on getting those machines!
Lmao!!! Yay, muscle is good!!!! I’m soooo glad the site is back!!! I panicked!!
