I've got them!!!

 

Yep, I got my STS 2.0 in the mail today, and well, I'm gonna do a premix of one of them tonight.  Mostly cause after waiting since Dec when I pre-ordered them, I'm not gonna wait around to do them

So, I'll pick a premix something on the shorter side, and I'm gonna try it out. Then maybe I'll do a short walk on the treadmill too.

And, Peloton FINALLY put rowing classes up on the app so sometime I'll be doing a rowing class. I've got a Concept 2 rower and I admit, I don't use it like I should.  I use to to warm up to lift sometimes, but I bet if I tossed in a couple classes here and there, I'd get a great cardio workout in.

I'm up about 2lbs.  Looking at my calendar, I would be due TTOM, but my ablation means that it didn't actually show up, but my ovaries don't care about that.  They are still sort of working.  So I've been craving extra carbs, which sadly, I've eaten, and I've been much more irritable.  So I'm up a little bit.  And I'll also admit, I'm not working out like I was earlier in the month.  Been a bit lazy.  I need to change that cause I'm LOVING seeing lower numbers on the scale, fitting into shorts I've not been able to wear in years, and just feeling better about how I look overall.  

I think between doing STS 2.0, and throwing in a little cardio here and there, plus actually eating a healthier diet, I'll just keep that scale going down.

I sure hope so.

My body's Factory Warranty must have ran out

I know, it's been FOREVER since I blogged. I will do better cause starting in June I'm going to have more time to do so.  That and I'm also reviving my YouTube channels too

But anyway back in very late Feb I went in for my Well Woman doctor visit.  Oh boy.  Just the thrill of my life.

Then a few days later, cause I needed to be fasting, I went in for lab work.

Well, all my results came back and they SUCKED.  My fasting blood sugar 131. My A1C, 6.7 Both high enough to put me on the WRONG side of the Type 2 diabetes line.  Ok, not by much but still WTF.

Then my pap results came back. I tested positive for HPV and a kind that has been shown to cause cervical cancer.  Great. 

I went in for a biopsy just to make sure the results were not a false positive and they were not a false positive, but a real positive.  Yippie. We'll talk about what to do about all this at my follow up in early June. 

So I'm now on Ozempic for my blood sugars, and to help me lose weight cause I'm quite overweight.  Or I was.  I'm now down 17lbs which is great.  Still overweight, but I'm seeing numbers on my scale I've not seen in over 3 years, closer to 4years.   Lost over 2inches off my waist, which is so great.  And today I put a shirt on and I didn't have nearly the bra roll. I mean it was so nice. I felt like "I don't look half bad"

So now I'm like "just wait until I get another 2-3 inches off my waist, I'm gonna be a hot grandma"

I also had a uterine ablation done May 8.  I'll spare you the details but I hope I am done with the "am I gonna bleed to death" periods.

And I'm also trying to be patient as I wait for the USPS to deliver these to my mailbox.


Cathe's STS 2.0  Heavy weight training and mobility work all in one set of DVDs.  Been waiting for them for a while, like since Dec.  But they are in the mail now and I'm trying to be patient.  Watched the preview clips from her YouTube channel several times.  Here, I'll put in a link to her channel in case you want to check it out.

Cathe's YouTube channel  She's really a great fitness instructor and I love her videos. 

I promise you'll be seeing me blog more often.  


Had my Well Woman today... ugh

 Ok so maybe it's not the worst thing ever, but ladies, I think we all know that the "scootch to the edge of the table and put your...
