We are learning about ourselves, our patterns, our body behaviors--deficits and strengths...its not going to be a clean path...each day is new, as is every moment, the key is the courage to start and keep moving forward toward optimal health & our best selves--with God helping us every step...Its so easy to get down when our body, mind or spirit is not functioning properly or optimally...but Rome was not built in a day. And there is much tweaking to get things ordered prayers help too.

its been quite the week of developments for me....was working out vigorous thought I was eating fine (though not perfect, check my diary would love feed back) started to get stomach cramping 30 minutes into cardio...progressive fatigue, anxiety and stomach pinching, night sweats and trouble sleeping. Blacked out on Easter for a few seconds...just thought it was stress--which I do much of--exercise is my medicine why it so fun & vigorous for me and it really does bust anxiety for me....so I look forward to it and give it my all. I always feel detoxed and blessed after a good sweat. But the cramping kept happening and then the panic...and exhaustion. Wound up in ER Monday, they gave me IV of anti acids?!! And my glucose super low. Then last night I had apt with nutritionist at gym to get my diet & exercise worked out and He told me upfront that he didn't know anything about hypoglycemia :grumble: and that was made clear as reason for appointment. He did take me through circuit and told me he was going to learn more about hypo as he never was confronted with it before....I started to crash during our conversation which led to more panic....and I had eaten small meals with protein....but still have no idea what to do. I made appointment this morning with Dr. for tomorrow for follow up. Last night while at gym I jumped on scale and gained 4 lbs!! I also had a BMI measured 3 weeks ago at 24.9 the gym scale said 30!! I have no idea what's going on...I know stress of unemployment and other things are not helping...just hope to get to bottom of it tomorrow....I getting so blue, all at once want to continue my exercise but at the same time cautious and going gentle....Ive been told that since I am not diabetic, or on meds there is another cause for Hypo... more.prayers please and thank you for prayers:flowerforyou: ...as I continue to learn and grow towards my personal best...God Bless us all with His help we can and will do this, Lisa PS love, love. love belly dance, its so womanly!!

I'm doing good. Working out more than usual but that just makes me want to eat more. I'm sure I'll figure out the balance one of these days. Great news on staying away from negative self talk. It's not good for the spirit and does nothing for the scales. Take care and God Bless!

I'm doing good, however I need prayers to get more motivated. I'm a single Mom of 2 wonderful children 8 & 10 (we adopted each other)...by the time we get home and eat then do homework, make sure they are bathed & have things ready for the next day, I don't want to do anything. I have the time its just actually moving.
