Weekly Weigh In 2020: Week 38, September 21, 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-eighth weigh in of 2020:

1. The Selfie: The selfie is me as of today, September 21, 2020.

2. Weight: My weight went down just over half a pound this week.  I wish it were more, but I'm just glad it is a weight loss and not a weight gain.  Let's hope it continues!

3. Health News: I averaged just over 8,700 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 am still waiting on my rheumatologist appointment time.  I will let you know if/when that happens.  

My insomnia and restless leg issues are still bothering me off and on again, though I feel like the sleep I do get is good sleep, and my heartrate/BP is not waking me as much (I definitely feel like my heartrate/BP is doing much better at night overall).  Hopefully, I'll find something to help with the insomnia/RLS soon since I can no longer drink cherry juice to help with it.

I was supposed to have a mammogram today, but that did not happen due to not having my old films to compare to.  I will be getting the mammogram rescheduled as soon as they have my old films.  Hopefully that will be soon.

4. Diet News:  Nothing new to report here.  I feel like I am doing well, and I feel really good if I follow my dietary rules.  I hope this trend continues.

5. Other News: Please continue to pray for my middle kid.  For nearly a year now, he has been dealing with an unknown health issue.  He had been doing very well, but now we seem to have taken several steps back recently.  It has been very frustrating for all of us.  If you'd like more of a current update/rundown on his condition, you can click here.

As to our week, we plan on getting out and enjoying the beautiful autumn weather as we can, but we definitely have a busy schedule this week.  Our middle kid has his EEG tomorrow (he can only have 4 hours of sleep, so it's going to be a long night), and the boys and my hubby may be helping my folks with a big project at the end of the week.  We'll see how it goes.  Never a dull moment!

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!
