Update time. Kind of in the doldrums of winter here and desperately waiting for warmer weather to come. I have started running over the past 2 weeks so that is something new for me as I am NOT a runner and nevr have been. But really need to boost the cardio so have started running some of my workout on the treadmill. It is going better than I thought it would and can actually do 45 minutes if I am not too tired when I start. Last night I waited too long to do it and had run out of steam so only did 35 minutes. This has also caused my weight to actually go up a few pounds which I hate, but do realize tht I am most likely building muscle in my legs which may be the cause of it. But I have also been eating a lot of crap lately so the last 2 days have really been concentrating on staying away from the bad carbs and eating more protein. I do NOT want to see 140 lbs. again if I can help it. Even though it is still within the normal BMI range for me, I prefer to stay in the 130's so I am not pushing the top end of it as I get further out. I find it very difficult to wrap my head around being OK with gaining a little back since I was so sick last fall. I know in my mind that weighing 120 lbs is ridiculaous for me and I looked awful, but I am so permanently programmed to want to lose weight after all these years that I see any gain as a bad thing and have to really "talk" to myself to be accepting of it. I live in endless fear of a large regain at some point as I get further out.My bile duct issues have not completely resolved either, but no major problems over the past week-just occasional spasms but not lasting long. MRI 2 weeks ago was normal, so at least I don't have to go back in for a drain again for which I am so thankful. Of course, that doesn't really give me an answer for why this is still happening. I think Actigal is my next option and I have to return a call from the GI doc today and see what his plans are for me. Had my liver enzymes rechecked 2 days ago so I am curious to see where they are at as well.
See you all in March-Spring is just around the corner!!
