Ugghh....I hate working out. I try to make myself do pilates, but I usually don't. I will do it everyday for a week, and then cannot convince myself to do it for another month. I have to do it, though. Swim suit season is coming fast. I actually already wore one the other day. I hate hate hate working out though.

I do circuit training (continuous cardio and weight) for an hour, three times a week. I do Winsor Pilates the other three days, and I rest one day a week. Dietwise, I'm pretty close to being a vegetarian. I eat very little meat, if I do I only eat fish or free range chicken. It has worked well for me, but I have gone on these shots (one once a month) after my surgery to shrink my growth. It makes me menopausal as long as I am on the shots. That has caused me to gain a little weight, so now I'm having to try even harder. Hormones are such a great thing.

It is so frustating!

They don't have the AC working right though so it is hard to concentrate being so hot.

Anyway, how's everybody doing with their bods?

Funny you should ask. I am going to the doctor tomorrow because of chronic hip/knee pain. Also, I suspect my thyroid is out of whack. I haven't been feeling right.

It is 44 degrees and hailing here right now.

I love to jump rope! But I can't right now.

Why not? because you value the use of your ankle bones? and calves.

I am down to a looser size 34 - I had ballooned over Christmas to a tight 36. I continue the good fight and it is showing. I tell, it is all about portion control and exercise

I am glad to hear of the good reults and for the slackers (which I am often

) - let's get with the program sports fans!!!!

No because I don't want to end up having a hip replacement.

I am PISSED about the slowness of these records since the hospital caused her death due to heart failure due to septic shock.)

Stress has taken it's toll on me this past month (At least I have enough pride to not hit the bottle or use drugs to escape the pain/stress, But my temper is now at a record all-time shortness)...If I can recover my health now it will truly be a miracle.

Blah - that sucks, Brian...I'm sure the stress of the last month or so had most definitely NOT been helpful with your health stuff....

But I hope you start to feel better soon...my brother in law was having a constant tightness in his chest a while back - it was scary - I forgot what ended up being wrong with him...nothing too serious -I hope that it's nothing too serious in your case as well.

so too, But the pain has yet to reside, I have been popping aspirins to aleviate the pain but to no avail

The more BS my family is finding out about how our Mother died (I say murdered...) one month tomorrow, the more stressed I am becoming and the shorter my temper is becoming (The more agitated I am becoming the more pain I am encountering in my chest)

Brian, you have to go to a physician & tell him/her that you want a resting EKG. Did you ever have an opportunity to type up your family medical history & give it to a physician?

heart monitor last summer which the results were 'inconclusive'. The stress test (ie-Treadmill from hell!!!) did not show any abnormalities, But 2 separate EKG's showed some type of heart problem and the stress test & heart monitor were applied afterwards...Chest X-Rays showed nothing out of the ordinary & my blood work was normal.

I also gave my primary physician my family history...but I think he needs to investigate what is causing me the pain more throughly, I dont want to have to end up in the same situation that I just dealt with last month (The f**ktards of MRMC thought my Mother was having a heart condition after her initial surgery, and treated her for such, All the while ab-so-lute-ly F**KING overlooking a perforated bowel for 1 week (!!!) which caused septic shock which in turn caused my Mother to suffer complete heart failure...She died EXACTLY the same way Pope John Paul II died, Septic shock!)

Unfortunately the Dr. who performed those procedures on me is no longer employed at the hospital, So I am planning to see my Dr. yet again on Friday to see what the f**k is wrong with me...

Let's just say I am agitated to the point that if anyone gets on my nerves I will make an example out of them without a care
