@deepwoodslady That's a lot of info to digest. How are you feeling about everything? Glad you have some follow up coming up as well.

@ashleycarole86 Feeling a bit relieved that we will get some answers after the tests. Doctor says he cannot begin to diagnose until he actually "sees" the heart (ultrasound) and sees how the heart reacts to stress/activity (monitor and needle stress test). He doesn't think pacemaker "yet" but answers will come. He really thinks it is probably the chemo I went through that did the damage. I have no idea if we are talking ventricle damage, bad valve or restricted arteries. Nervous...... In the meantime the advice is to lose weight to help with the breathing. Watch my carbs and fat for cholesterol, try to get myself on less meds because of their side effects. He said the best way to lessen my meds is to lose the weight. But we know that already don't we? LOL Anyway, I finally logged yesterday. I will try to do that everyday but probably won't bother on travel days as that is a lost cause. But 90% of my life I am at home so that is going to make a HUGE difference if I will just follow through!

06/13.…..205.6…..(Trend Weight 204.7)….. Travel today for my friend’s dr appointment. Also getting in some shopping while in the city. Weight down a touch today but bound to go back up with the travels out of town today and tomorrow. I still need to move more but my breathing remains labored. Tomorrow is my heart doctor appointment. I hope for answers.

06/14.…..206.2…..(Trend Weight 204.8)….. A week filled with much car-sitting travel. Chinese last night didn’t help this mornings weigh-in. I’m seeing the heart doctor today (more travel from this rural area). I’m sure he’ll insist on weight loss. Probably just the push I need to get back in control.

06/15……206.8…..(Trend Weight 205.1)….. Cardiologist yesterday. All my medicine basically doubled for blood pressure and cholesterol. So….on the 27th I have an ultrasound on the heart and on that day they will also place a heart monitor for me to wear at home for 2 days. On the 29th, back to the hospital where the monitor is removed and they will do the stress test without the treadmill because I can’t breathe with exersion. 4 hour test involving needle where they put something in to activate heart. Those 3 tests should give us some answers. Doctor says anything from an infection that got into my bloodstream/heart, diabetes issues, to my chemotherapy I had could have caused this. He suspects the chemotherapy. Follow-up for results in July. I hope to see a better readings soon on the scale, even with so much travel on the books coming up. It’s doctors orders.

06/16……204.2…..(Trend Weight 205.0)….. I logged for the first time in awhile yesterday. I kept it under my calorie and carb allotment. Then, after closing, I had a bad glucose drop and stuffed in an extra 200 calories but remained under 1600. 96 degrees yesterday in northern Michigan which is highly unusual for our area. Advisory to stay inside but I don’t have air conditioning. Low level movement. Low calorie burn. Low steps. Low activity. However, nice TMI this morning and almost 6 hours of sleep so both were a nice contributing factor.

June 5 237.5 (8 mile kayak trip planned today)
June 6 240! Not good! (I kayaked for 4.5 hours yesterday. At the end, I went through some big rapids, flipped my kayak and couldn’t get my head above water the current was so strong and my kayak was on top of me. The bottom of the river is covered in big rocks, so my body took quite a beating. I’m very sore today but just glad to be alive)
June 7 240 (still really sore from the kayak flip, hoping this is inflammation)

06/17.…..203.2…..(Trend Weight 204.8)….. Another good drop, but this time without a glucose incident. Yay!!!! My meals and snacks had been spaced out good, but not necessarily my calories spaced out right. I fixed that yesterday (hoping it wouldn’t happen during the day when I lightened my calories and saved some for at night). At least for yesterday it worked. I do feel motivated at this time and that always makes it easier to stick to my guns and see some results. I hope to keep up the good attitude and the strength it takes us all to achieve our goals.

🌼 Intentional exercise for a minimum of 20 minutes per day

June 1 - 166.2 (Slowly making my way back down to my maintenance range after my travel bloat. Happy to be starting here in a very similar spot to where I started May.)
June 2 - 165 (Busy day yesterday with work and a trip to the eye doctor, but I did squeeze 60 minutes of walking in on my lunch break and when we got home.)
June 3 - 162.8 (In a self sabotaging head space so I'm off to bed early.)
June 4 - 160.6 (After a night of sleep, I feel a lot better. Aiming to get 10,000 steps today and hopefully doing most of it before it pours rain.)
June 5 - 162.2 (Woke up to the sound of rain on the trailer. Coming down pretty hard. We need the rain for sure. My mom is in Afib and hasn't been able to come out with medication so when I get home her doc has asked that we go to the hospital, so I'm feeling anxious about that.)
June 6 - 160.4 (Worked from home, rode the Peloton at lunch, and then had a sleep apnea follow up appointment after work. Going to request a new sleep study to see if my weight loss has eliminated it.)
June 7 - 162.2 (Ate good meals and got over 15,000 steps today. Out of the office for corporate events the rest of the week so work was busy today getting everything prepared for that.)
June 8 - 162.2 (Today I am golfing with work for a customer event. First round of the year.)
June 9 - 160.8
June 10 - DNW
June 11 - 163.2 (Back at the lack for the weekend after a whirlwind two day business trip. I drank too much on the golf course the one day, but overall my choices were okay. One week till we leave for Vegas.)
June 12 - 163.4 (Super rainy day here at the lake. I haven't gotten more than 1,000 steps yet and it's already mid afternoon. I will make up my exercise later today but for now I'm just relaxing.)
June 13 - 162.2 (Rough day at work but I had a couples massage tonight and I'm feeling more zen.)
June 14 - 160.8 (I was tossing and turning before my alarm so I got up early and hopped on the Peloton. Love starting my day with exercise. It's super rainy here - will be doing my walking indoors at lunch.)
June 15 - 159.8 (Had a big day of exercise yesterday as I rode the Peloton a second time. Riding a bit ahead in my program since I'm away from my bike next week in Vegas.)
June 16 - 158.6 (Donated blood yesterday so I took it easy on the exercise front. Still got my 10,000 steps. Leaving for Vegas in two days so I'm still eating at a small deficit to create a bit of buffer for what I assume will be a small weight gain while I'm there.)
June 17 - 159 (Work is wrapped up and I got a few more outfits for Vegas. Still need to pack!)

June 5 220. Joining this thread for some extra accountability. I've gotten back into a good exercise groove, but now for the hard part - getting control of my eating. First time on a scale in years!
June 6 219 lbs
June 7 216 lbs - Scale number didn't look right, but I'll take it! Probably some water weight.
June 8 216 lbs - Had a good day of eating and getting exercise
June 9 216 lbs - Ate well and got some exercise in despite an all day corporate event
June 10 216 lbs
June 11 215 lbs felt brain fog, ate over calories on purpose. No exercise
June 12 215 lbs ate a bit over calories, lifted weights
June 13 215 lbs - Really bad day of eating. On the positive side, I got back on the scale and back in this app today!
June 14 215 lbs - Hit calorie goals and exercised
June 15 214 lbs - Good day of eating. Mostly eating the same things at the same time. Strength training workout did not go well. Felt very fatigued and cut things short.
June 16 did not weigh or track
June 17 did not weigh or track
June 18 214 lbs going on vacation not sure if there will be a scale and judging and logging food will be a challenge.
