Cross Training

-
Oh my! Last night, I needed to change up my routine (getting bored and my body is getting used to it) so I crossed trained with weights and cardio. So I started with weights and benched 50 lbs. I did this 3 X at 10 reps each. I was exhausted! So I went on the treadmill and jogged hard for a quarter of a mile at 7 MPH at an incline of 6%. I am so proud of myself for jogging that hard for that long! So, between each quarter of a mile, I would do some weight work. I did some should flys, abs (upper, sides and lower). I jogged a total of 1.25 miles but breaking it up helped kill the boredom!

Sorry no picture for your eyes to feast on. It's not the bi-weekly picture day!

Thanks so much for the encouragement! I so appreciate it! I am going to cross train for a bit to wake my body and heart rate up... shake it up, if you will! The clothes fit better only if I can get rid of some weight! Sometimes it is so frustrating but I forget that when my "skinny" clothes fit again!

OK here's the poop on the Dermi today.  I saw Dr. Henderson and she is a resident at HF.  I went to see a dermi because of the previous post of my sores on my scalp.   She looked me over and was very concerned with the one I have on top of my scalp.  It's deep and she thought it could turn into a cancerous problem.  I did tell her that is where my previous dermi did the punch biopsy.  Dr. H brought in another dr for a second opinion and that doctor stated that if that wound wasn't closed up by stitches and I have lupus, the wound might not have closed up and healed properly.  So in essence, it made Dr. H feel better that it was the area of the punch biopsy.   So today, as I had a hunch, I was injected with cortisone.  That is something I never will forget but she was a lot better than my previous dermi.  She was gentle and gave me some breaks.  I had injections done to the side areas and my crater on top.  The cortisone ...

Ah the life of a lupie!  So much fun! A few days ago, I left eye started to hurt and I thought it was just typical crappy weather problem.  That started Wednesday.  Long story short... it puffed out and I had a fever of 101. Not a pretty picture at all.  It was a lot worse than this.  Just hated  how I looked and felt, especially with the holidays coming around and the noise. Anywho, went to the family doctor today and she gave me antibiotics (augmentin) and boy those are HUGE pills!  Plus she recommended a saline flush so why not.  So now I'm home and just wanted to update my blog since I haven't in some time.  I have been writing in my journal of my own personal thoughts but I like to keep my medical stuff on here so I can refer back. Ok, I'm going to lay down and sleep this pain off.
