Weekly Weigh In 2020: Week 43, October 26, 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 forty-third weigh in of 2020:

1. The Selfie: The selfie is me as of today, October 26, 2020.

2. Weight: My weight went down just over a pound this week.  I wish it were more, but I'll take it! :)

3. Health News: I averaged just under 6,000 steps per day last week.  I'm disappointed I didn't reach my 6,000 steps per day average, but I hope to do so this week (if the weather behaves - we've had a LOT of rain).  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%.

Still no word on my rheumatologist appointment.  Since I'm feeling good as long as I follow my rules, I'm going to just wait and see what happens here.  If I suddenly start having more issues, I'll contact the doctor again and see if I should see a cardiologist for now and then keep trying for the rheumatologist appointment in future.  I'll keep you posted.

I would say that I'm doing pretty well overall.  I am still dealing with my quirks now and then, but other than that, I really can't complain.

4. Diet News:  Nothing new to report.  I'm finding that having some dark, leafy greens daily really helps me feel pretty good, though, so I highly recommend them!  If you find they are hard to eat on their own, definitely put them into a fruit smoothie.  I promise you cannot taste them!

5. Other News: Please continue to pray for my middle kid.  For over a year now, he has been dealing with an unknown health issue that has been very frustrating to pin down (we're still trying to figure out exactly what's going on).  He is starting to have more daily issues, especially when it comes to the nausea and headaches.  His doctor goes on maternity leave soon, so most of the decision right now are on the general surgeon, and that general surgeon, along with changing up some meds, suggested a second opinion by another surgeon in his office before we go any further.  We will have that appointment next week.  If you'd like more of a current update/rundown on his condition, you can click here.

As to our week, it is going to be a bit busy, but next week will be way busier.  I'm just hoping the weather gets a bit nicer so I can go out and enjoy the fall colors while we still have them. :)  We'll 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!
