Tonight: Sleep Study/Update tailbone.
Tuesday: 4-8-08 4:48 pm
I am so tired today, I did my 3 mile walk but I am extreamly tired, I guess that is a good thing because I am going into the hospita to have a sleep studyl, since Rny Gastric byapss there has only been 2 things that bother me and that is my tailbone and sleeping, I have always had sleep problems even before just two sick then to worry about it then, well now that alot of my medical problems are gone I feel this needs to be addressed, something that is so crazy is my doctor call this am and said my insurance would not pay for my sleep study, I was thinking they will pay for a RNY gastric bypass but wont pay for a 3000 dollar sleep study, so I called my husbands work and they said they were re-nogstioting the policy thru the company and trying to add it because it was in the employees best interest to be rested because the type of work they do, well I am not going to comapain, I have had so many wonderful gifts regaurding my medical stuff and health that we will pay for it, but the insurance company said if they pass it, it will get retroactive back to pay for it as long as my detuctable is met, which it is. Thank the Lord!
I am a little nervous about going into the hospital over night with a bunch of wires, but all be okay, I was hoping never to be back in a hospital ever unless it was to have a baby.... I just give it to God to help me gt thruthings like this, Also as many of you know I was suppost to go into St likes merdian to get a epideral injection for my tailbone, but because the pain was so far down they wanted to get someone with more experience with that area on board, so they did and they changed the kind of injection they will try cortizone right on the bone, this will be on the 30th of April Yeaaa, I cant wait to try differn't excercises that I really cant do right now because of these issues. Everything will be great, I will keep everyone posted. Havve a great week. Kristy

Hey Janet!
So you didn't walk as much as you wanted to, but doing yard work is an awesome exercise. Just think of all the different motions you put your body thru, lifting and pulling, and if you're anything like me...all the walking you did back and forth to the shed for a spade, and then a rake, etc, etc
And now, just look at this week as another opportunity to try again. Just lace up the sneakers, and take a walk around the neighborhood. Enjoy the budding trees and first blooms. Make it more about enjoyment and nature, than exercise.
Good luck! And we're always here for any support you need!

I am not doing so good with my goals, last week, maybe this week I will give it a try,
I just can't get moving, I did work in the yard all weekend, which I would have never been able todo before WLS.
I do want to say Jenny you are doing great, and congrat on meeting you goals this last week, I sure you will be able to do it again this week and in no time you will be running on your treadmill for as long as you want to,
keep up the good work.

So, its been about a week since I posted my goals, and I'm happy to say, I've stuck with them so far. Well, stuck with the excercise, and the other goal is a result of that.
I'm down 4lbs, making it 15 more to go to meet the 100lb mark on April 30th, and I'm really thinking I'll be able to do in in 23 days.
I got a few DVD's from the librabry to check out. Tried the dance one , and realized just how uncoordinated I really am. I tried to follow along, but it was a trainwreak. But at least I gave it a shot, and I still worked up a sweatwith what I did do.
After that experince, I tried Gilad (i think thats his name), on FITTV. I was able to do that routine a lot easily, and thought he gives detail on how to do an excercise. I'm going to stick with this for a little while and see how it goes.
I've also been walking on the "dreadmill" (saw that posted somewhere, and thought it was so cute and appropiate!) everyday for 40minutes. I put the incline at 4, and I've tried to jog a little. Best I did was jog for 2 minutes straight. Its a victory for me either way, since I can't remeber the last time I did that...High School PE class maybe - 14+ years ago!
Hope everyone else has been doin gwell. Love to hear about what you've done, or any problems you've been facing.
