Well, I think we have found the source of my exhaustion!!!  OSA- Obstructive Sleep Apnea
I did a sleep test last week and they called me yesterday and said I had had 254 OSA episodes!
I go back in next week to be monitored during sleep with a CPAP machine on and then they will set me up with one at home.  I am definitely ready to be energized!!

I have been getting to the gym @ 3x's a week and have been walking the dog several times a week.

I have lost about 12-13 lbs.

I have had a better week this week for sure.  My Atkin's low carb diet is going well, worked out 3x's already this week and I feel like I am having more energy.  After Monday's 25 min on the treadmill, I walked on 6.5 incline for 30 minutes to get my heart rate up (150 in comparison to 125).  I really want to get my cardio upped quick because that is what's gonna help me the most out West......cardio and endurance.

Will give weight loss report on Monday.  Urologist on Tuesday.

Started back at the fitness center.  Nothing major to start, just 25 minutes on the treadmill @ 130 calories.

Lab work came back with my vitamin D being pretty low.  On a supplement for 12 weeks.  Total cholesterol was 256.  Not so good but we will recheck in 6 weeks, since I am watching what I eat.  Everything else was "A-OK".  Thankful!

I saw the urologist today but it was pretty much just a meet and greet.  They are sending my urine off for more tests and I am scheduled to go back in on February 14th for a CT scan of my abdomen and a cystoscopy to look inside my bladder.  What a way to spend Valentine's Day, huh??  Anyway, he really feels that my problem is associated with my surgery last June.  Hopefully we can get it all straightened out.

I am still just waiting to see if I hear from the MD office on any of my blood work from yesterday.

The low carb diet is going just fine.  i am either going to sign up at the gym today or Sunday.

I went to the OBGYN a couple of weeks ago and they started me on estrogen but found I had an issue and needed to see a urologist.  I went in for annual blood work at my primary care MD.  We discussed my health since the hysterectomy.  This MD has been with me and this weight loss battle the past 3 years.  I will be returning to see her in 4 weeks, so right now I am just waiting for test results and...........my urologist appt. tomorrow.  I am knocking these medical doctors appt.'s off one at a time, trying to get to the bottom of my sloth-like feeling.  It may all end up mental.  That is OK if it is, I can up my med and/or go back to my psych MD to get on more therapeutic medicine.  Now I do really have pernicious anemia, so the B12 thing is an issue, but I think I have been on top of it.

The Atkin's lowcarb diet has been going well this week and I am getting back into the gym this weekend.  I have been walking, strolling my grandson and walking the dog this week.  I just feel like I am wearing a concrete suit and I profusely perspire with any little exertion.  Who knows!!
