Taking Control - part deaux!!


So, I am working on week three of Weight Watchers. Now, the weight loss is not going so great, I am following the plan, but the weight isn't falling off. That's ok, I'm loving the plan and I know that it' going to be a little more difficult than previous runs at it, so I'm not so worried. I'm eating good (other than stupid little candy hearts and cake bites - damn tempters!!). I'm loving that I can eat all the fruit I want - it really does help with the sweets craving.

Today, I did my first ZUMBA class. Holy cow, it was fun!! I looked like a fool!! But, I kept up (kind of) and stayed the entire hour!! I felt really good about myself. There was this other woman there, don't know if it was her first time, but she kind of stood there and threw her arms around a little bit. Next thing I knew, she was gone. Must not have been her thing. The effects were kind of crazy, the arches of my feet felt like they were on fire. My arms felt like they weighed a thousand pounds. I felt sweat in places I have never felt sweat. But, I left after it was done with a kind of euphoric feeling - like I had gone outside my comfort zone and survived!!

As far as not letting the bitches get me down - - I'm still working on it. Kind of feel like they are not bugging me so much. We'll see.

CoCo's Journey - Ah, Shit!!!

I am exhausted.  Physically.  Mentally.  Is there anything else??  Because I'm sure that is exhausted, too. I went to the doctor today.  I knew it was going to be a lot of information.  I had made a list.  I had my notebook.  I printed out all of the information from my emergency room visit on Saturday to take with me.  Blood tests.  CT Scan.  Urine test.  Plus, I brought my CT scan from March, because I noticed on it that I have a small umbilical hernia.  I was ready.  And I knew what I needed to fight for. I also came armed with gifts.  I love this doctor and his medical assistant so much.  I took them a gift of tortilla chips and homemade salsa.  And I wrote a love note on the bag.  That is how much I appreciate him.  They both loved it.  It even made Hayley get a little weepy, cuz she was having a bad day. I gave him all of my documents, and he went through the blood tests and such fr...

CoCo's Journey - Purpura?? What is that??

 Defnition: Purpura - noun - the appearance of purple or red spots on the skin and mucous membranes caused by bleeding underneath the skin due to small blood vessels bursting.  These spots can range in size from small dots (petechiae) to larger patches (ecchymosis or bruises) and may indicate underlying health issues.   Sadly, when people see my arms, I get many responses and questions.   From how are you doing?  How are you feeling?  OR what is up with your arms???  My BFF literally said, what the hell is wrong with your arms?? Like I had been out in the parking lot bruising myself up intentionally.  And we had just talked about it a couple of weeks before when she saw it. Are they pretty??  No.  But, they truly are the way I know the status of my health.  Between seeing this stuff show up on my arms and my overall general state of strength lets me know if I should be concerned.   Right now, my arms are actually look...

CoCo's Journey - Sleeping with Jeff AND Camilla

  Well, the day has come and gone.  I got my new and fancy attachment coming out of my face.  It was a horrible experience.  I thought I was going to go absolutely insane and take out the people putting it in me.  But, let's talk about it real quick. I got an NJ tube.  I thought I was going to be getting an NG tube.  What is an NJ tube?  It's a tube for feeding that is placed through the nose and snaked down past the stomach and into the jejunal.  The jejunal is in the small intestine.  The nasojejunal tube is more complex and has a few more risks than the nasogastric tube.  But, apparently, it's the best choice for me.   So let's talk about the actual procedure.  I knew from the beginning, when they squirted lidocaine in my two nostrils to kind of deaden it that it was going to be COMPLETELY horrible!!!  And then needed me to sniff it down to kind of deaden my throat, to make the tube a little more comfortable g...
