Blog to Lose

No matter the plan... we all Blog to Lose!

I was doing great all day today. We went to Applebee's for dinner and I got the Steak and Portabellos. Not a huge fan. The steak was great but the mushrooms were horrible and the brocc was okay. Some pieces were super yummy and others were gross, gross, gross.
I should backtrack a little bit... I have horrible periods. Very heavy. Not a good time. I finally went to my doctor about it last week. She scheduled me for an ultrasound (last friday) and an endometrial biopsy (this friday). I went for the ultrasound on Friday and the tech told me my doc would have access to the images that afternoon. I don't know if I was thinking the doc would get some "DING" like an oven timer and immediately look at them or what. I didn't hear from her on Fri so I just figured everything was fine. I was really arrogant about it too... "There's nothing wrong with me. It's always been like this." Well, I got a phone call early this afternoon, "Hi Valerie, this is Pam at Dr Campbell's office and she wanted me to let you know that she looked at your ultrasound and you have multiple uterine fibroids. She also wanted me to remind you of your appt friday at 1 for the endometrial biopsy. Be sure to take some motrin beforehand. We'll see you then." I think the only thing I said was, "okay". Now, I am a very pragmatic person. I don't panic. It's not in my nature. I called my husband in Turkey (he's deployed) to talk to him about it. I have no answers yet, I just needed to hear his voice. He was very supportive and sweet (even though I woke him up). My neighbor immediately got on line and started looking up treatment options. I have no idea how many there are or how big they are. So, I kept busy all afternoon, helped my 5th grader with his homework and then we went to dinner. I made sure I had a few points left over for a snack after I put the boys to bed.
I was going to have a nice sensible 60 calorie pudding cup, I must have felt stressed or tired or bored or worried or whatever because I made nachos instead. Yes, I did use low fat cheese but I ended up 5 points over my limit and I didn't exercise today. "Hi! Pity Party, Table of 1 please!!!!" I didn't use any activity points from yesterday and I haven't used any allowance points. I don't even know if they still have that stuff with momentum. It worked for me before. I'm not going to meetings. Right now I am counting on my own. I may join ww.com but have yet to decide. Meetings make me feel too guilty.
So, back on the bus tomorrow. I only went over by 5 points so I don't think I ruined my entire week on day 2. I will endeavor to stay OP tomorrow. Tomorrow is another day!!!!

Ok Valerie...as I tell myself when medical things happen that are abnormal...you don't have the answers yet, it may or may not be anything serious...or it may be something easily dealt with. You just don't know yet so don't go assuming the worst. When you get the munchies...out of boredom or stress, try tea or coffee...I love coffee with some special creamer...its about 80 cals a cup and I drink two on occasion..it helps with the need to eat cause coffee fills you up! Keep us posted on the medical front....take care.
