Tripendicular Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday Buddycakes!  Ahhhhh…. 

I am so very excited! I restarted my program this week and so far so good!! I have gotten up early and ran…I have hit the workout room with a vengeance… I can NOT even tell you how much I have missed working out…And trust me when I say I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE!!!! Honest! 

I think I have finally made the connection that exercise will ALWAYS be a part of my life…I love what it does for me mentally and physically too much to ever let it go for long…Call it another obsession…(Love my OCD!!) I have not worked out in three weeks due to my living arrangements…It is good to be back!!! I jumped right on my elliptical last night as if I had never been gone…And me and my elliptical bonded…Caught up on old times! It was good…I do believe she missed me too!!! It might have been a Kodak moment…Too bad no one else was there to see us! 

Then I swung home to check on the husband and my doggies, and even he said “You seem happier tonight…” Buddies, I do believe it’s the workouts. I just felt better. Instantly. Less stressed…Thinner. In reality, I was not, but I just felt thinner… Went to the doctor this morning for a follow up, and already, just from last week, I am down 4.5 pounds!! I was pleased…Still up, over all, but glad the scale is moving back down… 

She is increasing my meds…Which I hate, but is necessary…I seem to be completely incapable of dealing with stress like you normal folks. I have finally accepted that, I think… It is what it is…Right?? Remember that kids… 

Okay…I will check in later with you all…I have sooooo much reading to do to catch up with you crazy kids…You miss a month and all kinds of things occur! Have a great week!

    Girl, I know what you mean, I don’t have an elliptical at home, but I want one. I canceled my Y membership and now I want it back ’cause I miss all the machines!
    Anyhow, I’m happy to hear that you are feeling better. Hang in there Dawnie!

    Great job on the loss. Very happy for you that everything is returning to the way things should be.

    Stress can do strange things to a person! Just be careful of those mood enhancers, if that’s what the doc has you on. They can mess up your mind before you even realize what’s happening.

    I’m glad the scale is finally moving back down. I have no doubt you can keep it going the right direction!

    Like you normal fokes… I had to laugh. If I do not eat well and exercise I am a crazy nut. IT is my medicine. I really struggle sometimes. I need a new doctor though, because she seems to think I am fine with out meds. Some days I wonder. Glad you are so well.
