Roonytunes 2006

Not good, but tolerable....I feel like a hypochondriac but I really don't feel like I fully recovered from my bad kidney infection. My tests all came back clean as of 10 days ago but I still have bad days like yesterday where I'm so fatigued and achy and worse yet, have a real peeing problem. I woke up 4 times last night to go to the bathroom and I only slept for 6 hrs. My doc says he can put me on meds for an overactive bladder. I'm debating it and still reading up on the side effects, but my big fear is then I'll start retaining water and get all bloated. For now, I'm giving it a little more time before reacting.

Hope you're week is off to a good start, FBC! Just a little over a week till the new job starts, right? Yay!

Well you may just take a bit longer to adjust to it.... I mean take it easy and listen to it!

We all know why she likes the bike, hee hee sorry couldn't resist!

You girls are BAD!! If you must speak like that, please take it to Tre or Fly or SG's logs...I will have none of that here. Just kidding

As for being able to spin, I still have a good layer of fat on my butt to provide padding. Plus this instructor really keeps the 55mins exciting - jumps, sprints, intervals....I am not a big sweater, but this guy makes me drip. It is a great mid-week cardio routine to break up the monotony of the machines.

Thanks for checkin’ in, IP. I’m feeling good these days. But I’m still peeing excessively at night, so I have an appointment with a Urologist now at the end of the month.

I tried to get my bf tested last weekend, but the trainer who does it for me was busy. She’s so hard to get a hold of, but since she’s been doing it for me the whole time, I want to keep the readings consistent. I assume my body fat must have dropped to correlate with the scale weight loss. I’m liking the diet I’m on – it’s very easy to keep, so it’s nice to see it is also working. I always thought I was carb sensitive so it’s a surprise to me to see that I am doing well with a 40/40/20 macro breakdown. I do however have two off-program weekends coming up in May, so hopefully they won’t back-track me too much. <fingers crossed>

As if! We are angels, thank you very much!

Hey, Roony...curious. How do you feel spinning has helped with your attempts at dropping bodyfat?

Sure, you are all ......

Very happy though to hear of your weekend plans!! Go Fly...we're rootin' for ya

I think the spinning has been good for me cardio-wise to shock my body. It is a longer session for almost an hour and I don't do the bike otherwise, so it's a different motion for my body. But I will say it's all about finding a good instructor or the class can be rather mundane. There's a guy who teaches at my gym on Sat and it's way too easy for me...and that's when I feel all chained to the bike for a hour because I'm bored.
