So, I mentioned in my body bugg post that one of the things it had gotten me to do was move my body and make different decisions about how I would get in exercise each day. Well I had a doctor's appointment today (follow-up with my endocrinologist) and since it was absolutely gorgeous here in NYC today, I decided to walk. Left at 1, got to the doctor's at about 1:45 and then decided to walk home. My route is on the left. Once I got home, I went to Gmap Pedometer to map my route and realized that I walked nearly 3.5 miles! I uploaded my body bugg and as of 4:30 I had walked nearly 11,794 steps. CRAZY!
So it's seems like the thyroid issue is not completely put to bed. My endo has decided that he wants me to have a biopsy on the left side of my thyroid. I have a nodule there that is approaching 1cm which is considered dominant, so he wants to rule out cancer on that side. The only fear I have is that my last biopsy (while it said possible papillary carcinoma) was inconclusive. Inconclusive = surgery. So, I'm hoping that it conclusively comes back as no cancer. I just don't want to go through another surgery!
Still hungry today on the second day of mushies. Had a cup of Hale and Heartys Corn and Chicken Bisque for lunch today....was still hungry. Had string cheese as a snack, that helped. For dinner I had 4 oz of tuna with miracle whip light and 3 crackers....halfway through I had the pain in my chest feeling. Didn't get stuck in terms of needing anything to come back, but that was my warning that tuna wasn't my friend. Guess that means I must have some restriction. I finished the crackers with some laughing cow light cheese and had another string cheese. That is a whole lotta cheese! My calories today are still 1000 so that's good. Tomorrow I'm back on solids, so interested to see how much restriction I really have. Tuna has been a hard one for me in the past, but it just has so much protein and is so quick and easy that I still try each time.
I'm so excited tomorrow is Friday. I have a wedding Saturday on Long Island and am bringing my best friend as my date, should be fun. I'm wearing a dress that I wore four years ago and it's a tad big, but should work just fine. Then Sunday I'm headed to Catherine's to try on some clothes she has for me. YEAH!! Very excited about that!
Wow, great walk! Don't ya love it when you find out you did so much more than you thought and it was actually good for you! Have fun at the wedding, I am in IN for one this weekend, visiting the in-laws and the wineries...might not be good for my scale.
ReplyDeleteGreat, glad you like the Body Bugg! How lucky you get to visit Catherine's closet!
ReplyDeleteGreat Job Jen !! would you have imagine that you would have willingly walked that much a couple of months ago ?? Have fun at the wedding in your skinny dress !! You go girl !!!
ReplyDeleteGood Job Jen! Best of luck for the thyroid, I hope you won't need another operation.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the wedding and visiting Catherine's closet. I can't wait to shrink and to give my clothes away ;-)
Oh, I forgot something! You have lost a LOT of weight in your face and you literally "shine". When I clicked on your blog today I did not even recognize you! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteGood for you walking that far! That is awesome. I really hope some day soon I get to NYC and get to see both of you - and WALK the city! I never even would have considered that in the past... amazing!
ReplyDeleteWhat the! Totally jealous you get to meet Catherine lol. Have the BEST time!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the walking! and it's cool that you get to go see Catherine. My dream...and I am talking my ultimate dream, is to go to New York on Thanksgiving and see the Macy Day parade live. I watch it every year and have since I can remember, I love every part of it...and I want so bad to go there one year to see it live.
ReplyDeleteJust saw this post! Am looking forward to Sunday! :)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you are still dealing with the thyroid problem, and I hope that will be resolved for the better very soon!
