Here I am! Rock you like a Hurricane (hehe)

This morning I made an appointment to go to the doctor tomorrow to get a strange lump I found checked out. Its located on my lower abdomen, almost the pelvic area… like where your leg meets your body…….. there are roundish bumps on both sides… but the one on the left side is large and sticks out a little funny… and a bit sore if I press on it.

What you just described sounds horrifically similiar to how I would describe my penis.

No, but you're doing really good. I was thumbing through your journal, because I've been absent for a bit, and I felt like catching up. Seriously, you're doing really, really well for yourself. I checked out your most recent pictures and, by "checked out", I mean "played with myself to". But, not in a creepy way. Yeeeeeah, ok...in a creepy way.

Keep it up, you're doing awesoMe, with a capital "M" for some reason!!!
 
Your food and workouts are awesome!! Truely inspiring :cheers2:

Those lumps sound like your lymph nodes. You can usually feel them if your looking for them and non-tender. If they're swollen and painful it's really good to get them checked out. Could be an infection. Keep us posted!!

damn girl you should be an MD!!! ;)

Yes they indeed are my lymph nodes... the left side is super swollen... which means it could be trying to fight something off ( possibly the tattoo i just got???... since technically it is a wound that is healing.... hmmm)

Nothing to be concerned over... no biggie the doctor said. Keep an eye on it and if its there in 2 weeks be concerned. it rolls and is squishable.. so doesnt look like cancer.... and not a hernia... HOOOOORAY!!! :party:


this is great news... because i have plans to run a 5K this weekend.... soooooo i was really depressed thinking id have to sit it out... but NOW I CAN DOOOOO IT!!!! woot woot.

weight today is 124.8... thats good good good.


also, found myself a little marathon in york for May 16th 2010... i believe i may just register... i got 6 more months to train woot woot!!! I got this bitches!!!!!!
hehehe


Lata!
 
Good Luck with your 5K this weekend! I'm going to break into the running soon myself. Good job on the 124.8 this week! I'm glad to hear your lymph nodes are okay. Bodies are tricky.

Keep up your great work!

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes and your thoughts!!!!! I am so glad and thanksful to be healthy!!! :)


anyways just stopping by guys to tell you this:

I ran a 5K today and i increased my time yet again. I ran it in 23:37 and was first place
It was really super exciting and i felt GREAT the whole race!!!!

I have the turkey trot next week wooooooooo woooooo


ok off to take a nap... had to get up at 5:30 to get to the race in time today... :coffee:


later kiddies!! :)
 
Been doing really well. Of course I had mentioned about my race on Saturday and how that went. Sunday, my boyfriend and I went on a 5K run by my house. There was a really rough hill that was in the middle of the 5K and that made it super tough… but I still finished in 25 minutes and some odd seconds so I was happy with that.

I really love that he is all into running with me and what not. Its fun to have him energetic about something I love as well ! Thursday ( thanksgiving morning) at 8am we are running a turkey trot in the area so that will be a blast I am sure!!! I am very much looking forward to that!
Yesterday I took the day off from exercise….i had a pretty intense week with a lot of things going on regarding running and working out…. So a day off was in need…. I went non stop all week. It was nice to relax. We went out to dinner and I splurged a tiny bit on some cheesy pasta… but I stayed within my calories.

Today I am sitting back and thinking about all the things I have to be thankful for. This year… I can truly say my health…. And not just in regards to not having a serious disease or illness… but my overall health and well being. Last year this time… I could not have said the same thing. I was 30 lbs heavier….. and not happy with what I saw in the mirror or who I was. To be honest… I was a lot moodier and suffered depression a lot… I can say I have not actually been depressed in MONTHS… its incredible. I remember going and trying to get meds that would help…. And I stopped needing to do that.


Anyhow, just a little tidbit. I have been thinking a lot about all the things I have to be grateful for. So I am sure I will post Thursday with more thoughts.

Hope all is well!!

Wonderful post!! I love that you say your thankful for your "overall health and well being"... not your new waist size or weight. Your focus is truely on your health, which makes you truely, overall healthy :)

So wonderful you man is on board with you. I've noticed a huge change in my success now that my hubbie is working towards similiar goals (although, he refuses to deprive himself of ANYTHING ;) )

Keep it up, you are such an inspiration :D

Happy thanksgiving!!! :)

Some good news!! :D

Today we ran the turkey trot in a nearby city. There were 1,110 people who came out for this event! Thats a huge freakin race! The most ive been a part of before was about 600 some people.

It started at 8:00 this morning so it was an early and chilly morning for us. Dan and I ( boyfriend) ran this race along with 4 other friends of ours. It was a tough course... many up hills and things like that. Anyhow, out of all the runners i came 168th over all and dan was 170th overall. My time was 23:13 officially and his was 23:16... we crossed the finish line sooo close together! It was an awesome run and we actually both set yet again another PR. It was pretty awesome. Legs are a bit stiff and achy now.. so i need to stretch real good this evening before bed.!!!:rolleyes:
That is the first bit of good news.

The second is that i actually weighed myself this morning and i am at 122.8 which is a new number for me that i have not seen yet!! :)
Now... that being said..... i def ate a good bit of thanksgiving goodies today..... so we will see what happens with that number the next day or so.:blahblah:

oh well...i made it to 122... i am proud of that.

I know i had an awesome thanksgiving and i really hope everyone else did as well!!! Just wanted to stop in and share some accomplishments and wish everyone a happy holiday!!!
some race pics attached!
byes!:hug:
 
Hi Melissa. I just got caught up with all your entries. I am truly amazed at how fast you are getting with the running. I am starting to think you were born to run and just now found it out. Your times are truly getting fast. I can only imagine how fast you will be in another year or two if you keep this up. I also think it is totally awesome that you and your BF are so close in times but also that he is really digging it also. Congrats on the new low in regards to weight and I will pray that you continue to have good health.

What you just described sounds horrifically similiar to how I would describe my penis.

No, but you're doing really good. I was thumbing through your journal, because I've been absent for a bit, and I felt like catching up. Seriously, you're doing really, really well for yourself. I checked out your most recent pictures and, by "checked out", I mean "played with myself to". But, not in a creepy way. Yeeeeeah, ok...in a creepy way.

Keep it up, you're doing awesoMe, with a capital "M" for some reason!!!

Sometimes you really freak me out but other times I can't help but laugh my ass off. :D
 
My time was 23:13 officially and his was 23:16... we crossed the finish line sooo close together!

That's awesome. My girlfriend and I would finish pretty close together sometimes too. The best part is how you don't have to pretend to still be all into it while they're trying to get to the finish line. Well, maybe not the best part. The best part is finishing yourself, if you know what I mean. But, the second best part is not having to pretend to still be all into it while they're trying to get to the finish line. Then, you don't have to feel bad for wanting to fall asleep right away, because she's kind of tired too. Or, you could just both go and take a sho...

...wait. You, uuuuuh, you were talking about a race? Like, RUNNING? Oooooh boooooy. Yeeeeeah, I'm embarassed. I'm more embarassed than a woman who comes out of the bathroom in a gas station with her skirt tucked into the waist band of her pantyhose, with her butt cheeks just haaaaanging out for the whole world to see. You know, like eeeeeverybody can see what she's working with, but she still has nooooo idea what's going on? The cashier, the stoner buying a Big Gulp, the old man who puts his fingers all of the donuts and even the dorky hillbilly kid who plays the Dig Dug arcade game in the corner - yeeeeeah, they can all see her bare ass and she has no idea. I'm THAT embarassed.

Umm, but seriously...that's awesome. I wouldn't even be able to finish a race, let alone, finish in a GOOD place. Plus, you beat your boyfriend, so that's pretty awesome. I mean, you just kinda made him your bitch, you know? How awesome is that? Yeah, that's right...it's pretty awesome.

You're doing really good and you seem to really be enjoying the whole running scene. Hopefully I can get into like you do someday. I'm trying, but, as you know, running is HARD. But, your accomplishments are inspiring to me, so I'm going to keep checking back from time to time.

WELL, Seinfeld's on, so I'm gonna letcha go. Keep up the good work!!!
 
GREAT JOB MELISSA! I ran the turkey trot as well here in detroit. i'm going to go ahead and post in my journal for all to read, but mine sorry ins't so happy as yours lol. also, congrats on 122 you are sooo sex-ay!!!! lol
 
Great job on the running! I myself have been slacking off with my cardio, but reading your post makes me want to look around for a race to join again!
