Cruise...Or No Cruise?

I am eating now.  I lost 12 of the lbs I put back on.. so I started eating VERY lightly, and haven't gone to work out since last tuesday.

I have an appointment with an obgyn and scheduled for an ultrasound on the 12th.  New symptom... lots of pain down low.. feels like something is stabbing an ovary or something.    Knocked me down a few times, so I called a doctor, but took 2 months for an appointment for a new patient... pain just started getting really bad the other day... 10 more days.

I'm floating between 220 and 222.. and of course.. lol  back in the house for me! 

I've had that stabbing pain when an ovary cyst gets twisted.  Kind of makes it hard to breathe!  Until you get to see the doc, take Ibuprofen (Advil) every six hours for the inflammation.  Make sure to eat a little something with it. 

Hang in there sweetie, a gyno is the best way to get your insurance to pay for all of the tests that you need.  And don't forget to have her refer you to every specialist on the planet! 

We'll be praying that they find out what is wrong with you so you can get fixed and then go back to losing the rest of your weight.

Wow its kinda hard. I mean I havnt had time with my hubby in a while alone, but big boats and water are not really my things, soo I would take the time for me at the spa!!! LOL Since this isnt real Ill be alittle selfish, since Im not in real life!! LOL

Trish, why don't you be a LOT selfish (since it's not real life) and leave the kiddies with a relative or close friend and take your hubby to the spa with ya!! Massages and alone *wink wink* time! what could be better?? 

I  would choose the spa -  I've had their cookbook for years and it's beautiful. The food looks like it would tast wonderful and looks so good and I LOVE Arizona. My Ortho doc went with his significant other and really liked it there- I could only afford the cookbook! I should dig it out and se if some of the reciepes work for Atkins.

Jan, take a look at this page.  They use low glycemic fruits like Atkins, so I'm thinking a lot of the recipes would be adaptable.  Although I see low carb wraps, and breads not allowed until right before maintenance.

Are you still reading the book? LOL

Trisha, I think it would be great for your morale if you could take some time away from your little darlings and spend some time away with your big fabulous darling.  If nothing else, whisk him away for a tryst at the local hotel overnight.  Sometimes, a girl just has to take matters into her own hands!  

Mary

That is a great idea!! We have actually thought about doing that! It may be time!!!! I know I need it and he probably needs it to.
