Monday Check-in (Where has everyone been?)

Good Morning Everyone!   

It is Monday again once more.  Where does the time go? 

I know I have been MIA for the last few days, life just took over all my time.

Last week I had to take my DH for his annual cardiac check-up at Duke University.  He has been a case study since his heart valve replacement in 2003.  We always learn so much during these visits.  1. Everyone must make sure they get in their water.  Water is so very important for our heart to function properly and we need to increase our intake during the hot weather.  2. Exercise is NOT optional for weight maintenance.  It is an absolute MUST.

Then when we got home from Duke, we found our AC was not working.  Fortunately we have been on a service contract and the repairman was able to come that same day and it only needed a simple fix that cost less than $20 in parts.  It took more than 12 hours to cool our house down again!

I made lots of cool foods for my meals at work this week and will pick up some bottled waters on my way to work this morning.  So I should be prepared for the rest of the week. 

Hope you all have a FANTASTIC Monday!  

Good morning Everyone!!!
Last week was just NUTS!!! I believe that this week will be much better an a bit slower. Most of my clients will be out of town this week, so there won't be alot of phone calls and "I need" this week. That's always a good thing. And i'm very rested and ready to deal with whatever comes up.

Friday, hubby and i went away for a weekend.... just the two of us!! Can you imagine how long it's been since that happend?? Think YEARS! We got a sitter for the dogs (3) and didn't actually go too far, just over to Greensboro. Checked into a beautiful hotel there. Got to our room.... and the AC wasn't working!! OMG.... Well, i guess that was a good thing because they moved us to a $550 a night 2 room suite... it was georgeous, and we had a great weekend. Even went shagging Saturday night at a little private club. I'm telling you it's been sooooo many years since we could dance a whole dance through without needing a respirator!!! This is the first time we've gone dancing since our surgeries... We are two whole new people!!! I am soooo thankful for my new healthy body!!!

So this week i've got to get back on track with my diet. I ate whatever i wanted all weekend, so now it's time again to get in line. I've gained a couple of pounds. But i think that might be water weight. My hands, feet, and ankles are VERY swollen. I'm thinking that's from my liver problems. I'm not sure, but go to the endcrinologist on Wed to find out what the problem with the liver is. I've been having high liver enzymes for over a year but it's just now starting to actually effect me. And no... i don't really drink. Just the occasional glass of wine. Whatever it is, i'll deal with it and get it resolved. I haven't worked this long and hard to get healthy to let my liver get me down!!!

Hope everyone has a great day. Stay out of the heat as much as possible and be sure to stay hydrated!!!
