    Today I challenge myself to take a rest day. It's hard because I feel I 'should' be doing something.

    I did the dumbbells I was sorta disappointed with not being able to log this exercise cause all they have is lateral,I tried goggling it so I could put it only to get disappointed they were talking about it depends on your weight that you weigh I did not understand it so I just did not log it.I took my horse out for a 30 minute walk besides doing several different arm exercises for trimming down my arms.Today's challenge I am going to do some leg exercises going to start getting my thunder thighs down.I hope everyone has a great day.

    I went to the doctor yesterday cause I have been bleeding heavy 2 weeks now.I told them my history I have anti nuclear antibodies,I was hoping to get the birth control shot that stops periods only to be told they could not do it cause my antibodies can cause me to get a stroke they also told me to lay off of doing too much till my bleeding stops.That said I am feeling defeated,they are trying to get me to better doctors LSU to find out what is going on if it is the change of life or other issues.I will keep people posted I am still going to do things I just have to slow it down for now.My challenge today is to come to grips with this news.That said I hope everyone has a good day.

    That is great everyone if anyone want to add me feel free to do so.Today's challenge to me clean the fridge ready or not fridge here I come lol.I well let everyone if I did it.Mad dog you can do it just take each meal a calorie at a time I do not know if you can after you eat come on here and put what you eat?If you can but have not that might help this way you know how much you have left for every meal.If you can not get on here for every meal take a small note book and keep track on that.I am doing this to try to get myself to do the things I always say I am going to do and then put it off till tomorrow not to mention I will lose weight with the exercise.

    My challenge for the day is to go up and down the stairs 50 times both ways

    The weight just means how much the dumbbells are.

    Example: two 5 lb weights - you'd say 10 where the weight slot is

    I went to the doctor yesterday cause I have been bleeding heavy 2 weeks now.

    Have you been sent for an ultrasound to check for polyps?

    I spent a year bleeding heavily ... figured it was just normal perimenopause, but finally got frustrated enough with it that I went to my Dr. She had an ultrasound appointment scheduled the next week ... 2 weeks later I was speaking to a gynaecologist ... and 2 weeks later I was in surgery having a large polyp removed.

    The size of it and the rate of growth had them concerned ... they ran tests, and while there is no cancer right now, the cells show a predisposition toward developing cancer, and I need to go for follow-up ultrasound every 6 months for a while.

    Evidently these polyps are relatively common among perimenopausal women.

    Given your age and the bleeding, I'd revisit the Dr if I were you, and insist on getting checked for polyps. The ultrasound is a little bit invasive, but it will tell you one way or the other.

    Oh, and I can't take anything with hormones (birth control, hormone replacement therapy, etc) because they cause me to clot. So in a way I was relieved they found that polyp. Since it has been removed, things have returned to normal again and I can exercise more freely again.
