Weekly Weigh In 2020: Week 24, June 15, 2020

Weekly Weigh In will go live every Monday, and it will share how I'm doing health-wise, and it will give me more accountability with my health.

Here is my twenty-fourth weigh in of 2020:

1. The Selfie: The selfie is me as of today, June 15, 2020.

2. Weight: I'm back on the weight loss side of things at a half pound lost.  I wish it was more, but I'll take it.  Here's hoping the trend continues.

3. Health News: I averaged just over 9,900 steps per day last week.  I am hoping to get at least my 6,000 steps per day average this week, and will do so as long as I can be out and about.

I'm waiting on the results of my labs now, and the referral is in for the endocrinologist.  I have not been able to get ahold of the gynecologist (either office - my current one or my old one) as of yet.  Hopefully, I will get ahold of one of them sooner or later.  We shall see.  Wish me luck, and prayers greatly appreciated!

4. Diet News:  The diet revamp continues.  I do great most days, but there are days that aren't as good, and I pay for it with weird heart issues (normally hearing my heart rate in my ears when I'm trying to sleep or feeling like my heart is racing when I'm trying to sleep).  I'm finding that caffeine and sugar (other than honey or naturally occurring sugar in fruit/veggies) is the main trigger, but too much spice or too much higher sugar fruit/veggies can also be an issue.  If nothing pans out in endocrinology, I'm going to ask about gallbladder, as I know when that goes wonky, you can have a lot of oddball symptoms and I have had some stomach related issues and pain that I just associated with the PCOS or bad (for me) food choices, but maybe there is more going on.  We shall see.

5. Other News: Please continue to pray for my middle kid.  For nearly 8 1/2 months now, he has been dealing with an unknown health issue.  His appointment with the doctor via TeleHealth was encouraging as she believes he sounds pretty stable symptom-wise.  His labs (which I'm waiting on a copy of) were pretty normal, so we're still in the "wait and see".  Good news is that he doesn't need to go see a specialist, but the bad news is that he is still dealing with random issues now and then that aren't normal.  If they continue, especially the nausea and back pain, and the x-ray he's having this week doesn't show a reasonable answer for the back pain, I'm going to be calling his doctor to see if we need to revisit the possibility of an issue with the gallbladder.  If you'd like a current update/rundown on his condition, you can click here.

As to our week, it's a little more busy than last week with things planned for most days.  At least we won't be bored! :)  It's looking like it is going to stay busy for the next month at least.  Bring it on! :D

How are you doing?  Do you have anything you want to weigh in with?  Any health progress or goals you want to share?  If so, please leave a comment below (with a link to your post, if you have one and wish to leave it), and I'll respond ASAP.

Have a great week!
