Feeling Outta Sorts...

Hey bloggies, did you think I feel into a black hole? Nope...still here. Kind of. I'm having a week (or two) of feeling out of sorts. I had my physical on Tues. My blood work came back very good, no issues there. I was hoping to have a few things addressed but just felt rushed as always and felt put off.

When I discussed my weight loss issues with my Dr and what's been going on and that I lost 28lbs then have been really struggling since she just smiled at me and said "keep at it."

I'm still having issues (going on years) with bouts of vertigo/lightheadedness. This is the 6th...yes 6th doctor I've been to about this including 1"specialist." I can't get any resolve from this. My new doctor seemed interested in helping me figure it out but when I spoke to her about it again she looked in my ears and said "Yes, both ears are full of fluid. It's extremely hard to treat. Take Sudafed." Being as it was my physical...and my first one with her, I was disappointed at how disinterested she was with the problems I'm having. She didn't even check my blood pressure! Hello?? I realized this as I was driving home, otherwise I would have asked for it be taken. ARG!

I'm so beyond frustrated. If any of you have had a bad ear infection or the flu and have had that light headed sensation that just feels awful...yeah....I have that daily or weekly....I got the impression that my doctor expected something to come back with my blood work and when it didn't she was more or less...I dunno what to do? My blood work always comes back normal. I knew it wasn't because of that.

I went to the pharmacy today and because of my thyroid meds he doesn't recommend me being on Sudafed. Go figure. So I didn't buy any. I spoke with my chiropractor about the situation and he said in his opinion I should not take it. If it worked (which he doubted it would) it would only be band-aiding the problem. He feels that I'm out of balance. That I need to exercise, eat healthy, lose weight and find balance. He says I have to look at it as a long term road to recovery.


Truth is I do feel area's of my life are out of balance. I'm trying to work on them, to fix them, but it's an up hill battle and sometimes I feel like I have a blind fold on and don't know if I'm taking the right direction. Does anyone else relate to this? I feel like I need to slow things down sometimes, but there is just too much that has to get done. I put myself last too often and have been doing it for too long.

Hubby went to his foot specialist yesterday for his results. He has 4 bone spurs in his left foot and arthritis, and 1 bone spur in his right, as well as 2 bones rubbing together and a bruised bone...along with pre-arthritis. Yikes. No wonder he's been in pain. He was casted for special orthodic's yesterday and they should be here in approx.4 weeks. Then he was told it would take approx.6-8 weeks of wearing them to start correcting the problems. He was told that it is going to be a very painful process, but one that must be done. He is suppose to limit how long he stands. I'm trying to take on as much as I can knowing how much pain he is in. He is frustrated not being able to do what needs to be done, and for having to be so inactive.

To make more chaos in our house, my poor chow is sick. She's been having diarrhea for 4 days now. I have not slept through the night in 4 days now. This morning she had another accident in the house. I called and spoke to the vet and she is now on antibiotics. I have to make her a special super bland diet tonight, to last her for the week. Fun.

Did I mention my garage sale is this Saturday? I can't move in my garage right now. It's suppose to rain. Nice.  I run a big part of my business from the garage so I can't put it off. Fingers crossed, there is a miracle and the rain stops. Not likely. I think I've pissed off the Karma gods.
*Just as I posted this hubby texted me with this info: Snowfall Warning 10-20cm for tonight. *Sigh*

Sorry for the downer post but alas...this is my life right now. Wanna trade for the day?

I'm really trying to be good and watch what I'm eating. I won't lie. It's hard.I went and bought Women Food and God, by Geneen Roth. I started it last night. Maybe I will be able to take something good from it. I'll let you know what I think once I'm done.

I'm forcing myself to get back to snapping pictures of the days eats so I have some accountability.

Here is today thus far:
















"Green Monster"~Coconut water of small coconut, 1 scoop Chocolate Amazing Grass, 1/2 tsp Bee pollen, 1/2 frozen banana, 1/4c frozen pineapple, 1 tsp flax oil, 1/2c vanilla soy milk, and 2 HUGE handfuls of spinach. *I usually love this combo but the coconut water was super sweet, and a bit over powering today :(













6" veggie & cheese, no dressing, 1 med Tim's with 2 cream.

Be back with dinner...

P.S.  Tricia at Fight Fat Phobia is having a really great giveaway..check it out :)
