Weekly Weigh In 2020: Week 35, August 31, 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-fifth weigh in of 2020:

1. The Selfie: The selfie is me as of today, August 31, 2020.

2. Weight: My weight went down a pound again.  I'll take it.  Here's hoping the weight loss keeps up.

3. Health News: I averaged just over 8,100 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 do best when I get in a daily walk or 2, so I am going to really push to do this even if the weather isn't 100%.

I had my ultrasound to check on my PCOS last week, and my TeleHealth with the OBGYN is in a few days to discuss the results.  I'll keep you posted.

My physical went well, and my labs look good.  We did decide that I would be best served seeing a rheumatologist vs. an endocrinologist to check on my arrhythmia due to my medical history, so I've cancelled my endocrinologist appointment, and my rheumatologist referral has been done and I hope to have an appointment date soon.  After I have my rheumatologist appointment, then we'll see if I need to see a cardiologist and/or endocrinologist, if I need to have more tests done, etc.  I'll keep you posted in this regard, too.

4. Diet News:  I feel like this is a continued work in progress.  I'm really struggling to find variety, but I feel like I'll get there.  At this point, my body is giving me way too many rules, but I'm confident that I will find a way to make those rules work for me.  It is just going to take some time to figure it all out.  For now, lack of variety is where I'm at.  It is what it is.

5. Other News: Please continue to pray for my middle kid.  For nearly 11 months now, he has been dealing with an unknown health issue.  He is having a few issues here and there, and we're waiting on some things yet, but otherwise he is pretty stable (as long as he takes his medication).  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, though.  If you'd like more of a current update/rundown on his condition, you can click here.

As to our week, it's going to be another busy week.  I appreciate your prayers as we navigate a few family health issues (my hubby is having some issues that are either the beginnings of appendicitis or something that may eventually require a referral to a GI doctor, my oldest is healing from wisdom teeth extractions, mine and my middle kid's health issues, and a few other things as well), getting ready to start school back up next week, and needing to do some home repairs before winter hits.  Thanks so much!

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!
