July 1-157.4 lbs- My weight has been a SEESAW since 2/1/22. Up, down, up, down. Had a low in April of 147.6 lbs and have been fluctuating in about 13 lb range from that. Very Disheartening.
July 2-160.4 lbs :-( I did eat too many carbs yesterday but was way below my allotted calories with my exercise and not enough extra calories to gain 3 lbs! Has to be water weight. Did 232 minutes on my Elliptical for 15.21 miles this AM. Then did 5 sets of 20 reps of 90+ lbs on the leg press. Also did some Lat pull downs and bicep work on the double cable system and some bicep curls and tri-cep kickbacks with dumbbells. It's about time I use some of this equipment available in my basement again!
July 3-160.4 lbs :-( Did 186 minutes on the elliptical for 13.25 miles. Did 5 sets of 20 on the leg press, 90 lbs and did 10 lb bicep curls and tri kick backs.
July 4…158.8 lbs Happy 4th of July! 🎆🎇 At least it's moving in the right direction. I did 190 minutes on the Elliptical for 13.76 miles this AM. Also did Leg presses, 5 sets of 20 @ 100+ lbs today. (Don't know how much the incline sled weighs. It's also a angled shoulder/squat press too) Used the double cable pulley system for Lat pull downs 2 sets of 10 with 50 lbs. And double bicep curls, 2 sets of 10 with 50 lbs, then 2 sets of 10 bicep dumbbell curls with 10 lbs and same number of sets with Tri-cep kickbacks with the same dumbbell. Need to add to my repertoire. Need to cut the grass today. Off tomorrow yet. Nice break from work. And getting extra workouts in.
July 5-158.8 lbs I did 190 minutes on the Elliptical for 13.6 miles this AM. Also did Leg presses, 5 sets of 20 @ 100+ lbs today. (Don't know how much the incline sled weighs. It's also a angled shoulder/squat press too) Used the double cable pulley system for Lat pull downs 2 sets of 20 with 50 lbs. And double bicep curls, 2 sets of 20 with 50 lbs, then 2 sets of 20 bicep dumbbell curls with 10 lbs and same number of sets with Tri-cep kickbacks with the same dumbbell. Nice 5 day break from work. And got extra workouts in. Back to work tomorrow. Then off Friday and Sunday.
Been MIA for awhile from the threads but continue to log in daily & exercise 3x/week on my off days, as I had been. I have been indulging too much in carbs as you will notice in my weights. :-(

July 24-167 lbs :-( 221 minutes on the Elliptical for 17.62 miles. After I finished the last hour of a movie I was watching a few days ago, I watched a scifi action movie and it seemed to help make me pick up my pace from my usual. :-) 12.5 minute/miles. Also increased some of my weight lifting. Leg press angled sled 5 sets of 20 @ 100#, Cable system Lat pull downs 3 sets of 20 @ 60#, Cable system standing row 2 sets of 20 @ 60#, dumbbell curls 2 sets of 20 @ 10# and tricep kickbacks 2 sets of 20 @ 10#.
July 25-165.5 lbs
July 26-164 lbs Guess mainly water weight, the way it's coming off! :-)
July 27-162.6 lbs Continuing to drop the water weight!
July 28-161 lbs The number keeps dropping the last few days, which is wonderful. And for me, it's a great motivator to stay on track. Did 183 minutes on my Elliptical for 12.53 miles this AM. I'm off work for 6 days. Hoping to get myself back on track and get a downward trend again. My lowest weight recently, was way back in April, 147.6 lbs.
July 29-161 lbs 191 minutes on my Elliptical for 14 miles this AM. Then leg press 100# 5 sets of 20, Lat pull downs on a cable system 60# 3 sets of 20, then a cable row 60# 2 sets of 20, biceps with dumbbells 10# 2 sets of 20 and tricep kickbacks 10# 2 sets of 20. And giving blood tonight.

07/29-202.8-(Trend Weight 200.2)- Well, not such good news from the cardiologist. Tues test (CTA) shows 3 major blockages in the heart in 3 different arteries. This may have lead to the mysterious heart attack I didn’t know I’d had. We still don’t know how old the heart attack is since the scarring is firmly in place on two walls. So Monday morning I have emergency surgery starting with a heart cath and ending with stents in all 3 arteries. It is about 3 hours from my home and there will be an overnight stay for observation of the stents as well as glucose monitoring since I run so high all the time. They sent me over to the hospital after my cardiologist appointment for pre-ops. We are not talking about the electrical problem in the LBBB yet, she said “one thing at a time and this is a true emergency”. Until Monday I am not to exercise or walk my yard too much (inclines). Not even pick up a full gallon of milk because she said it weighs 7 pounds and that’s too much for me right now. She said I am a heart attack (#2) waiting to happen. “Just sit, rest and let’s fix this Monday.” Wow! So I am coordinating who can go with me Monday and who can come back Tuesday to pick me up. Trying not to stress but, of course, the idea of them going into my heart in multiple places to place those stents makes me very nervous. I will try to post from the hospital or at least check in on Monday and Tuesday. I’ll let you all know how I’m doing asap. Wish me luck folks! If I can’t get back to you right away, know that I will miss you all for those couple of days!
@deepwoodslady uhh? Where do you live? I don't recall. As a RN I'm wondering why you weren't sent to the hospital immediately as an emergency for the heart cath/stent placement instead of waiting around for "a heart attack waiting to happen." If you have the slightest twinge, back or shoulder, jaw, arm pain or get short of breath call 911! That sounds ridiculous to me, to wait till Monday. Not to upset or scare you but to prepare you. As far as the heart cath/stent placement, people get it done all the time and I do Dialysis treatments on them right afterwards. You will be fine.
Prayers & God Bless you with a speedy recovery!

@deepwoodslady
Not to say everyone gets dialysis afterwards. Only people with end stage or acute kidney disease. Read my post again and thought it sounded like that. Just to say people can get dialysis right after the procedure because they are fine afterwards.1 -

July 1 - 163.4 (Happy Canada Day! Work gave us a four day weekend. My husband and I came up to the lake last night. Sun is shining!)
July 2 - 162 (We got a 60 minute walk in yesterday in the heat and had a few drinks to celebrate Canada Day. Night was cut short as we had a huge thunderstorm and the Internet was so bad inside because everyone was in their trailers so we went to bed early and had a great restorative sleep.)
July 3 - 165.2 (Up early and back home as we have a 75th birthday brunch to attend. Later today we also have dinner out with friends.)
July 4 - 164 (Happy 4th of July to all the Americans! Our work gave us a four day weekend for Canada Day so I was still off today. I did two Peloton rides and a 5 mile walk and food stop with my husband and dog... so much fun but I am wiped. Need to do some housework now.)
July 5 - 164 (Busy work day but I got away at lunch for a walk with my husband. After supper and some TV we went out for another walk with our dog. Lots of steps again today.)
July 6 - 164.6 (Didn't sleep as long as I wanted. Started with a good filling breakfast. Will get my 10K steps today and hopefully ride the Peloton too.)
July 7 - 164.4 (Had my long ride on the Peloton last night. Today I hope to get back on the bike but I also need to finish getting my house ready for my company tomorrow.)
July 8 - 163.4 (Started my day with the Stampede Parade and a breakfast. The sun is shining and our city has come alive. I worked this afternoon and tonight we are laying low because my husband is in a 160 KM Gran Fondo bike race tomorrow that we're up early for.)
July 9 - 163 (Up early as my husband is in a Gran Fondo bike race today. I am hanging out in beautiful Longview, Alberta waiting for him. Will try to walk and get some steps while I wait.)
July 10 - 161.2 (Today I want to do two Peloton rides, get a walk in, and then we go out for supper in downtown Calgary with friends.)
July 11 - 160.8 (Amazing dinner out last night at the top rated new restaurant in Canada according to a recently issued list. I had gotten a lot of of exercise and planned for it so the scale was kind to me this morning. This afternoon I have a party at a corporate tent for Stampede and then we go to the grounds for a concert. Will be a late night and my exercise will all be getting my steps.)
July 12 - 161.8 (Busy day to navigate yesterday. Worked from the office, went to a tent party for Stampede at 3, and then we went to the grounds for a concert. Didn't get home and in bed until midnight. Had one food choice I made for a cost savings reason than my waistline - you live you learn.)
July 13 - 161.2 (Kept indulgences to a minimum at my work party yesterday so I was in good shape to come home and ride the Peloton.)
July 14 - 160.8 (A work lunch, corporate tent, Peloton ride, and long walk with my husband were all highlights of the day.)
July 15 - 162.8
July 16 - 166.4 (Didn't get time to check in yesterday.. it was midnight before I got home and I was exhausted. Had my final workday corporate event and then we met up with a friend at the Stampede grounds for two concerts. Another day of over 20,000 steps.)
July 17 - DNW (I always bring my scale to the lake but I forgot. Yesterday we went for a nice long walk around our park and met my 10,000 step goal.)
July 18 - 163.8 (Saw Elvis after work tonight. We are off to Ontario tomorrow to visit Brad's family and have a summer break there.)
July 19 - 165.8 (At the airport for a flight to Toronto today. We are gone until the 31st so unless there's a random scale around, this will be my last weigh-in for the month. I'll still be checking in!)
July 20 - DNW (Full day at Canada's Wonderland today. I love rides! Love that I can fit in everything no problem now.)
July 21 - DNW (Sick again and it's changed our vacation plans a bit. My husband found us a nice comfortable suite style hotel for me to recover at.)
July 22 - DNW (Feeling pretty good. Had a very restorative sleep. We ordered Skip The Dishes in last night and I definitely overdid it. Got swept up in the moment.)
July 23 - DNW (Gotten in some good naps and rest. Also went for a couple long walks and did over 20,000 steps.)
July 24 - DNW (Didn't quite hit 20,000 steps.. but close. Lots of indulgent food but some good choices too. I feel satisfied with how the day went.)
July 25 - DNW (Another night of healing restorative sleep so I'm ready to tackle the day. We have quite a bit of fun planned again for today.)
July 26 - DNW

July 28 - DNW (Still getting lots of steps as we're actively exploring but I'm eating a lot of rich restaurant meals too. Piled it on with a snack tonight I didn't need. This is a longer vacation and I'm making some sloppy choices. Having fun and enjoying myself but also taking note of things I could improve in the future.)
July 29 - DNW
July 30 - DNW (We have had two nice visits the last couple of days with Brad's mom. Today we are off to a 3 hour scenic boat cruise.)

07/29-202.8-(Trend Weight 200.2)- Well, not such good news from the cardiologist. Tues test (CTA) shows 3 major blockages in the heart in 3 different arteries. This may have lead to the mysterious heart attack I didn’t know I’d had. We still don’t know how old the heart attack is since the scarring is firmly in place on two walls. So Monday morning I have emergency surgery starting with a heart cath and ending with stents in all 3 arteries. It is about 3 hours from my home and there will be an overnight stay for observation of the stents as well as glucose monitoring since I run so high all the time. They sent me over to the hospital after my cardiologist appointment for pre-ops. We are not talking about the electrical problem in the LBBB yet, she said “one thing at a time and this is a true emergency”. Until Monday I am not to exercise or walk my yard too much (inclines). Not even pick up a full gallon of milk because she said it weighs 7 pounds and that’s too much for me right now. She said I am a heart attack (#2) waiting to happen. “Just sit, rest and let’s fix this Monday.” Wow! So I am coordinating who can go with me Monday and who can come back Tuesday to pick me up. Trying not to stress but, of course, the idea of them going into my heart in multiple places to place those stents makes me very nervous. I will try to post from the hospital or at least check in on Monday and Tuesday. I’ll let you all know how I’m doing asap. Wish me luck folks! If I can’t get back to you right away, know that I will miss you all for those couple of days!
07/30-202.6-(Trend Weight 201.4)- Trying to stay calm and understand my medical reports and appt schedule on my online portal. One report says arrive 9:00 am Monday and surgery is at 11:00 am. Another report says I have a phone call appt with anesthest (can’t spell it) at 1:40 on Monday (2 ½ hrs after surgery) so I’m confused. The telephone appointment never came thru Friday so is surgery a different day and phone call appt Mon (that never came Friday) correct?. Of course, it’s the weekend now so I can’t reach anyone directly. It’s about a 3 hour drive and I would have to leave Monday before any of the offices are open to call. I have no idea what to do but I will call cardiology office and leave weekend message and hope they get it in time. Stress anyone? Also, so much going on here on the homefront not related but ultra-high stress. No, let me make that ULTRA ULTRA high stress. Trying to stay calm in all the storms but I am Type A afterall.

Not to say everyone gets dialysis afterwards. Only people with end stage or acute kidney disease. Read my post again and thought it sounded like that. Just to say people can get dialysis right after the procedure because they are fine afterwards.
@swimmom_1 I got what you meant lol. My hubby had dialysis for almost 5 years before he died from heart failure. They often go hand in hand but so far my kidneys are ok. I am from northern Michigan in a very rural area. Thanks for your message. I do appreciate the reassurance that I will be fine. I'm not sure why the wait? I thought we needed the next day (Friday) for the phone appt and to prepare with the food/water withholding and the withholding of some of my meds, but I'm not really sure. It could have been scheduling for all I know. Read my post today. Super stressful this weekend so I wish we could have gotten it over with for sure! However, I again want to stress that I REALLY APPRECIATE your reassurance that I will likely be okay. Honestly, feeling calmer already.3 -

Hence your username. Makes sense. I'm wondering to about your times. First thought was anesthesiologist appt maybe 10:40, as it doesn't take long. But a call wouldn't make sense. Hmmm. Well they do them last minute, on the fly all the time, so I would plan to go too. But calling the cardiologist office, that told you, you needed the cardiac cath/stent placement should have a 24 hour answering service. Tell them the confusion and that you want a call back from the Dr. on call. They should be able to get the accurate times and let you know.3 -

July 1-157.4 lbs- My weight has been a SEESAW since 2/1/22. Up, down, up, down. Had a low in April of 147.6 lbs and have been fluctuating in about 13 lb range from that. Very Disheartening.
July 2-160.4 lbs :-( I did eat too many carbs yesterday but was way below my allotted calories with my exercise and not enough extra calories to gain 3 lbs! Has to be water weight. Did 232 minutes on my Elliptical for 15.21 miles this AM. Then did 5 sets of 20 reps of 90+ lbs on the leg press. Also did some Lat pull downs and bicep work on the double cable system and some bicep curls and tri-cep kickbacks with dumbbells. It's about time I use some of this equipment available in my basement again!
July 3-160.4 lbs :-( Did 186 minutes on the elliptical for 13.25 miles. Did 5 sets of 20 on the leg press, 90 lbs and did 10 lb bicep curls and tri kick backs.
July 4…158.8 lbs Happy 4th of July! 🎆🎇 At least it's moving in the right direction. I did 190 minutes on the Elliptical for 13.76 miles this AM. Also did Leg presses, 5 sets of 20 @ 100+ lbs today. (Don't know how much the incline sled weighs. It's also a angled shoulder/squat press too) Used the double cable pulley system for Lat pull downs 2 sets of 10 with 50 lbs. And double bicep curls, 2 sets of 10 with 50 lbs, then 2 sets of 10 bicep dumbbell curls with 10 lbs and same number of sets with Tri-cep kickbacks with the same dumbbell. Need to add to my repertoire. Need to cut the grass today. Off tomorrow yet. Nice break from work. And getting extra workouts in.
July 5-158.8 lbs I did 190 minutes on the Elliptical for 13.6 miles this AM. Also did Leg presses, 5 sets of 20 @ 100+ lbs today. (Don't know how much the incline sled weighs. It's also a angled shoulder/squat press too) Used the double cable pulley system for Lat pull downs 2 sets of 20 with 50 lbs. And double bicep curls, 2 sets of 20 with 50 lbs, then 2 sets of 20 bicep dumbbell curls with 10 lbs and same number of sets with Tri-cep kickbacks with the same dumbbell. Nice 5 day break from work. And got extra workouts in. Back to work tomorrow. Then off Friday and Sunday.
Been MIA for awhile from the threads but continue to log in daily & exercise 3x/week on my off days, as I had been. I have been indulging too much in carbs as you will notice in my weights. :-(

July 23-171.6 lbs
July 24-167 lbs :-( 221 minutes on the Elliptical for 17.62 miles. After I finished the last hour of a movie I was watching a few days ago, I watched a scifi action movie and it seemed to help make me pick up my pace from my usual. :-) 12.5 minute/miles. Also increased some of my weight lifting. Leg press angled sled 5 sets of 20 @ 100#, Cable system Lat pull downs 3 sets of 20 @ 60#, Cable system standing row 2 sets of 20 @ 60#, dumbbell curls 2 sets of 20 @ 10# and tricep kickbacks 2 sets of 20 @ 10#.
July 25-165.5 lbs
July 26-164 lbs Guess mainly water weight, the way it's coming off! :-)
July 27-162.6 lbs Continuing to drop the water weight!
July 28-161 lbs The number keeps dropping the last few days, which is wonderful. And for me, it's a great motivator to stay on track. Did 183 minutes on my Elliptical for 12.53 miles this AM. I'm off work for 6 days. Hoping to get myself back on track and get a downward trend again. My lowest weight recently, was way back in April, 147.6 lbs.
July 29-161 lbs 191 minutes on my Elliptical for 14 miles this AM. Then leg press 100# 5 sets of 20, Lat pull downs on a cable system 60# 3 sets of 20, then a cable row 60# 2 sets of 20, biceps with dumbbells 10# 2 sets of 20 and tricep kickbacks 10# 2 sets of 20. And giving blood tonight.
July 30-163 lbs :-( Had popcorn last night. I'm sure its sodium from the white cheddar flavoring I sprinkled on it. As I was well below my calorie allotment with all my exercise. Finished the last 2 episodes of a series, I've been watching (The Terminal List on Amazon Prime). Then started to watch a movie to finish out my planned time. But I got interested and "bit the bullet" and watched till the end. Amounting to 270 minutes on the Elliptical for 18.54 miles.
