GoingsOn

Yeah, well. I had a bit of a surprise at my annual gyno exam yesterday. I had to have a biopsy. This may be tmi for some of my readers, even though I'll speak in generals. Have had some external irritation for some time now....treated as a bacteria thing....with no results. Likely, it's a dermatological issue (think eczema-ish), but my doc wanted do a biopsy of the area to be certain. Now, if you aren't aware of what a skin biopsy involves, google it. Cringe at the terms, and then imagine it in a very sensitive area. Anyway, I'm quite sore. And if you don't mind, think good thoughts for my results. Like I said, it's probably nothing, but there's a very outside chance that it could be one of those serious things.

Also, I have high blood pressure for the first time in my life. This, coupled with my crazy excessive sweating and weight gain, has lead my doc to order bloodwork to check my thyroid. I told him my weight gain is probably due to crappy eating/drinking, but he's still concerned.

In summary, I'm falling apart.

NOW, here's a big announcement: after my nether region feels better, I'm going to start something serious. I'm going to walk my dog every day. Wait, but that's not all. I'm also going to start Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred. My friend, Donnie, copied the dvd for me like forever ago, but I've been just too lazy to do it. Thanks again, Don! I'm ready to shred now.

I plan to blog about my workouts/results frequently. I'm excited!

Happy to hear about the 30 day shred. Maybe I should do the same thing??? Nah, I think I'll just hear about it from you :)

Owzers! I really hope everything is okay, Mel. Definitely thinking positive hoo hoo thoughts for you.

And, I have heard amazing things about the 30 day shred. I hope it kicks your butt. And, I actually just ordered it today, so I am going to give it a try too! (Well, maybe - I have had an adventurous day. I'll update you later.)
