Weekly Weigh In 2020: Week 33, August 17, 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 thirty-third weigh in of 2020:

1. The Selfie: The selfie is me as of today, August 17, 2020.

2. Weight: My weight went down a pound.  I'll take it, though I wish it were more.  Here's hoping the weight loss keeps up.

3. Health News: I averaged just over 8,000 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.

My OBGYN appointment ended up getting cancelled.  I am to have my ultrasound to check on my PCOS done at the hospital instead and then a TeleHealth with my OBGYN after that.  I have no idea how long that will take, but hopefully it won't take too long.  We shall see.

I also talked to my doctor about a few concerns that we will discuss in more detail when I see her the end of next week.  After that appointment, I should have a little more direction in regards to my arrhythmia issues.  Prayers appreciated!

4. Diet News:  I have good days and bad days, but I'm working towards having just good days.  I feel a bit frustrated in this regard because, just when I think I have it figured out, I don't.  I am learning that there are just some things I cannot eat, even in a very small amount, and that's frustrating.  I am having a lot of trouble finding foods that are safe for me, and that can lead to boring food choices, and that's never fun.  Pray that I find some more food options for me soon so that I'm not tempted to eat things I shouldn't.  Thanks! 

5. Other News: Please continue to pray for my middle kid.  For nearly 10 and a half months now, he has been dealing with an unknown health issue.  He appears to be stable (as long as he takes his medication), but we'd like to be able to figure out what the source of the issue is so that he can go off the medication if at all possible.  We're still in the process of getting his lift, and he is going to have an EEG soon to see just how impactful his pulsing-light-induced headaches are and to make sure they aren't seizures.  If you'd like more of a current update/rundown on his condition, you can click here.

As to our week, it should be pretty busy.  We're still working on getting our water/washer fixed, but thankfully I'm still able to do laundry in small loads and nothing else is urgent, so there's that.  As long as we get it fixed before the snow flies, that's all that matters.  We have various other things going on, but we may end up being able to breathe a little by the weekend.  We shall see!

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!
