she will always be my little girl.
Cath - NO one takes care of you like Mom. When I had my stroke I was NEVER so happy to see anyone as my mom when she finally walked into my hospital room. It's wonderful that she has you there to take c are of her!0 -
Wednesday wish: That my daughter (22 years old) could get rid of this infection with cryptosporidium. It is nasty, nasty stuff. She was in the hospital Sunday night and all day Monday. Yesterday did pretty well. I had to come home today to be with her, because her stomach cramps are unbearable. The doc ordered a med to help with the cramping, but she doesn't seem to be getting better. We are going to the doctor this pm. It might seem weird that I came home to stay with my 22 year old daughter, but she has an anxiety disorder and thinks she is dieing (really!), and she will always be my little girl.
I'm so sorry for your daughter's illness, I hope she can find some relief soon. I'm in my 40s and my mom still helps me out - helped me through two minor surgeries this year. I don't know what I would do without her sometimes (and I don't want to find out). 0 -
cath- i have had cryptospridium in the past and would not wish it on anyone!!! it is brutal and there is not much you can do but let it run its course. She if fortuneate to have you there......
wednesday wish- more motivation to get moving more consistently.....been doing well this week.....just want it to contine0 -

came home and had a nice juicy grapefruit....mmmmm
i had put dinner in the oven before i left so i can sit and read till it is done :happy:0 -
Just an update on some progress here: I am exceptionally proud of myself. I decided to preplan my meals and have successfully upped my net calorie gain. I'm still bummed that I botched my breakfast, but the plus to that is I made up for it.
Also exceptionally proud of myself because I'm following through with my main Tuesday goal and exercising throughout the day instead of before I want to go to bed.
Feer me! I'm on a roll! roflwalked 2.8 miles around our local lake.....very happy i was able to do the loop twice.....first time i could do that

Okay MFP family, I need some help. I was doing my C210k workout today and I was feeling fine. The last 5 minutes or so I got extremely hot and my skin turned PURPLE! I have NEVER felt this way before. I didn't feel like I was fatigued. I was breathing just fine. I'm not sure what was going on. Does anyone have any ideas? It kind of freaked me out a little bit. I think it freaked the guy working out next to me too because he was like, "Uh...did you know your arms are turning purple?"
Any input or ideas you guys have would be great. I'm currently sitting in the air conditioning drinking lots of water because my skin is still VERY hot.
Thanks,
Jana0 -

That never happened to me when I did C25k. My face turns bright red like a strawberry, but I've never turned purple. I'm usually huffing and puffing at the point my face reddens, though. I hope you feel better soon! That's very scary!0 -

Yeah, it is a little scary. I'm not sure what caused it. I mean, I feel fine, but my skin just got REALLY hot. I've been running for a while now and this is the first time I have had this happen. I wonder if maybe I just over worked or something. Who knows?0 -

Its your blood circulating faster while you're exercising, a lot of people get red faces etc. (my face turns red if I'm exercising really intensely). Your body is trying to get rid of toxins, that's why it happens. It actually isn't a bad thing and is more common in people new to exercise or those that have increased their exercise. Make sure to stay well hydrated and cool, it can also happen if you are dehydrated.0 -

Oh wow :O
I am by NO MEANS a professional and this is entirely just a theory based solely on what I read. Is it possible that it was just your heart rate getting up there? Or maybe not enough water intake throughout your exercise? Otherwise I really wish I could help out more.
Could always mention it to your doctor next time you see him... or make an appointment if it happens again. If you felt fine with the exception of your skin getting hot I don't know if it's like an immediate see your doctor situation but then again, I'm kinda at a loss so I really could be wrong.0 -

I'm not a runner or anything, but I think a call to your doctor's office might be in order. People usually don't turn purple for no reason!

I'd call the Dr.'s.. that's not a good thing. Sounds like your blood pressure got really high out of nowhere. I'm not a medical expert though so you really should get that checked. Till then take it a little lighter. If you're finding your heart beating irregular or you're gasping for air stop.0 -
Jana- That does sound scary. I would check with your doctor about that episode just to be safe. It could be that you pushed to hard and heart rate elevated or that your body was releasing toxins but I am not a doctor and have never heard of that before. Do you have a heart rate monitor? If so, how how was your heart rate at this time?
Update on pig can fly challenge- I played frisbee golf tonight and had a blast. Not only did I get to spend time outside and take a walk but I learned how to play a new game. I will be playing again.
Have a great day. Another busy day tomorrow but hopefully once the weekend is here my life will calm down again.0 -
Wednesday wishes: To get my weight down and my cycles regulated so my husband and I can be successful with trying to conceive our first baby. We've been trying for six months, since our miscarriage back in February. It has been really hard on both of us, so we're both getting healthier to see if that will help with trying to conceive.0

Wednesday Wish: It's a hippy wish--that everyone in every country would embrace peace, love, respect, goodness, harmony, understanding, etc, etc. Now everybody join hands and sing the Coca Cola song.
Welcome to 50 Days to Halloween Challenge Imackbeth, Doomcakes, and vinsonh42 and anyone else who needs a little push to increase activity. Despite foot and heel pain, I slogged through it. Funny how the pain faded the harder I pushed. However, NOW it's throbbing. Time for Tylenol I guess.
Today: 10,768 steps
Total to date: 21,424
Goal: 400,000
Question: Members of this thread have some interesting/perplexing/funny user names. Would any of your care to share how you got yours?
I'll go first. I love being a grandmother--it's the best thing since....chocolate! My grands call me Grammy and I wear that moniker with pride. Everyone in my family seems to have a nickname (Gabi-Girl, Catie Cat, Mighty Max & Wonder Will), somehow I became Grammy Whammy. What's your excuse?

My username is one I came up with when I was in 6th grade and started visiting chatrooms and such. It's my first name, beginning initial of my last name and my HS graduation year. Of course, nobody realizes that until I point it out...haha! I often get mistaken for someone of indian descent because they don't see my name as Jana K...they see it as Janak...which I guess is my own fault. I should have better thought that out...haha. 0 -
Mine is boring. :P My cat's name is MowMow.0

Well, my name is Cathy, but my brothers and husband often call me "Cath." Esh is the first three letters of my last name.0

What kind of foot pain do you have? I have some also! Mine is in my left foot, towards the outer side. It hurts to run on it, and put too much weight on it. The doctor says it's just a contusion but it's still there leaving working out difficult! Yesterday I jogged across the street to go walk in the park, and I thought I snapped something in it! But it was ok after walking a few laps.
As for the name. I play on some roleplay forum site, one was a future post apocalyptic world based off a song from My Chemical Romance and one of my characters names was Doom Cake since she didn't use her real name lol. It stuck with me as well as Toxic Sprinkles in terms of those things. I don't know why, just seemed fun!0 -
cath- i have had cryptospridium in the past and would not wish it on anyone!!! it is brutal and there is not much you can do but let it run its course. She if fortuneate to have you there......
How long did it take you to get over it? She just wants to be well again!0 -
@marsha--I chose mine b/c when I started on MFP, I had a pair of cute jeans that I hadn't fit into since about 2004. They are a size 14 so they fit very comfortably now. I guess I should go buy a new, smaller pair to keep the name "honest." :laugh:
Karen (aka skinnyjeanzbound)
PS--I quickly learned that an unforeseen consequence of the moniker is that everyone on MFP calls me "skinny" for short--yeah, I pretty much love that!!

Mix of my Dad's dog's name and a nickname a foster sister gave my Dad years ago.
Wednesday Wish - get off the plateau I'm on. That all of you would have healthy, stress-free days!
I think I missed what the Halloween challenge is, but I've joined a September step challenge (most are doing 10,000 a day - I've chosen 5,000 a day since I was averaging about 3,200 a day). I'm at 81,199 as of the 11th (average of 7,382 a day). I'm happy with that!0 -
Marsha, mine came about because I love monarch butterflies and my name is Christine so that made monarchris!0

Question: Members of this thread have some interesting/perplexing/funny user names. Would any of your care to share how you got yours?
my married name is anderson and ever since we were dating my husband would call me toots as a nickname. so right before we got married i changed my email addy to tootsanderson@whatever and i've been using it as a user name since.0 -
Too funny, Nicole~its just the opposite here. I need the gym in the summer because of the heat! :laugh:
that's how i am too. i loathe being hot. i always feel like some kind of fugue is being lifted whenever fall rolls around
I hate being hot as well... which is why I live in Western Washington
Regarding usernames... I am pretty boring :ohwell:
My username is my first initial/ last name. Aceto is my married name... It's Italian, and I am pretty sure it translates to "vinegar"... I definitely married into the right family, as I am certainly full of something and vinegar

I am sorry to hear about everyone not feeling well or with sick relatives. I hope everyone gets better soon. My username is from my husband having a contracting company called j&t constructin so all the email addresses became jtconst@...... and since I have no memory that became my username for almost everything My husband and I went to a buffet for dinner tonight and the food SUCKED so it was easy to stay in goal, lol. Everything I listed in my diary except the salad and cottage cheese I ate only one or two bites of. Needless to say we will not be going there again.
Well I am off to bed so good night all.:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: 0 -
