Hey all

[Pony]

Well I have been keeping up with my workouts. It has bene so hot here so getting there hasn't really been easy. I have forced myself to go instead of going home and veg'ing.

I have noticed results, although very small as of yet, but I am hopful that I am on the track of losing. I have, however, noticed that I am having a hard time with losing in my upper abdominal area. I have lost inches in other areas, but no change in that area. In fact there seems to be a very hard area mass that feel just solid. I am going to the Dr.'s to have it checked out. I'm not sure, but it just doesn't feel right. My appt. isn't for another 2 weeks......the wait is killing. Anyway, I hope it is nothing serious, but I hope there is something that can be done. I know I didn't have that before I was pregn. 10 yrs. ago. It has only been since I have been losing weight that I have noticed this.

I have some other changes that I am implementing in my life that are a bit scarey....so I am having a bit of a hard time with it. Moving forward in life can be a very frightening thing. Even if it is your own choice.

This weekend I have been busy getting my daughter ready to go on a two week vacation with her father. Although I will have the place to myself, I will miss her a whole bunch. I hate having her goen that long, but.... she and her father have a really great time and she gets to see her family on his side. Spending time with them is very important in her life, as they will not be around much longer. (medical issues)

I will taking this time, while they are gone, to spend on myself. It is much needed time. Anyway, I will have more time on the puter too.....lol I know I haven't been posting much....again.... I just sometimes don't get it all into words. The printed word. In person I would probably just ramble on and on...and you'd think....she was the quiet one???? lol

Hope you all are having a great weekend. Thanks for listening

Well Pony,
As you know, I've been away for a long weekend, so I'm just now seeing this. I'm proud of you for keeping up with your workouts, even though it's been hot. I know that it wouldv'e been so easy to just go home and get in the cool and relax.

I'm glad that you are taking your health seriously and going to the Dr. with your suspicions. If nothing else it will relieve your mind of all of the negative guesses as to what it is. Try not to worry too much, as it could be a benign cyst or a fatty tumor. (I've had those several times) I know that it's alot easier said than done.

I'm happy to hear that you are going to get a couple of weeks to yourself. I know that it could be very therapeutic and really enjoyable. It sounds wonderful to me. I hope that you'll be able to make the most of it and really spoil yourself. You deserve it and I'm sure that you're overdue for some personal time. Enjoy !!!

Thanks Nina and Sista for your replies. I hate feeling like I am talking to myself...lol...

I know that you have been away Nina, and I hope that you had an enjoyable time.

I will get lots of time to myself....although my mother seems to have other ideas. Everytime I have time to myself she seems to think that it is her personal duty to fill it with time with her !! Gets really annoying. Anyway, I am going to work on my plans of moving and getting my stuff ready for such a move. I have a lot of stuff.

so tonight is my first night without my daughter..... it is very quiet around here.

Hi Pony---I just saw this thread.....I hope that your dr. visit turns out fine. I tend to think the worst about health problems most of the time. Please keep us informed.

I am going to start back with my walking but its so hard where I live, the temp is going to be 92 today with a high humidity....the air is so heavy with humidity it gets hard to breath just walking outside. I'm not going to push it like I used to because I used to burn myself out. I'm going to start a thread on that though....i need some advice......
