Lili's Diary

[lukewarm]

Hi 2Skinny

I'm keeping you in my thoughts, I hope the tumor is benign, I'm angry that it's even there. Are you scheduled to have it checked out and when and how long will it take them to determine whether or not it's cancerous? Checked out means a biopsy which means surgery right? I know it sounds blase and it doesn't offer quite the strength I wish it did, but you're a strong woman, and I wish you good luck.

On the weight-loss side of things....your diet is a work of art and your exercise is unshakable. What time of day do you run and lift? I'm so happy you are starting to see definition from all of your exercise. That's so thrilling!!!

OF COURSE he's crazy about you! He sounds so fabulous! I have 2 men in my family that are truckers and they're both super sweet guys, they just miss home so much. I love long hair on men! It's so rock-n-roll, rock chic. haha I'm excited for you as if I'm going to Mexico for the winter! I certainly do hope you have a delicious torrid love affair. Have fun 2Skinny

Hello Beauties and Gents; I had my ultrasound and pancreas is being a bad boy after all. They detected a small tumor but will send me for an MRI to find out if it's benign. I am hopeful. On the upside, I met a guy who's nutso crazy over me...rather flattering. He's offered to take me to Mexico this winter...oh my gosh...could I be that lucky? I think he'd be lovely. T2!!! He's a trucker! Long, long hair and he likes to plant flowers. Awwwww, that's sweet. A trucker who plants flowers. I'm hoping I might be torrid after all.

Breakfast; One banana 110 calories, yogurt 100 calories, 1 oz. cheese 115
Lunch; Tuna sandwich 300 calories, medium apple 80 calories
Snack; cereal bar 130 calories, orange juice 240 calories
Supper; broccoli/carrot/chicken stir-fry with orange sauce 280 calories with stir-fry noodles 160 calories
Dessert; DQ fudge bar 45 calories
Total = 1560 calories

Jogged 5 km, sit-ups, core, heel raises, upper body with 8 pound weights. I could do 3 sets of 10 on most, but for three upper body exercises, I could only do 2 sets of 10 with the 8 pound weights. It felt real good to use the 8 pounders. I'm liking the definition I'm starting to see from the weight loss.

Howdy Anna,
1st off I am sure everything will turn out alright with the MRI,
I know how scary that can be.I was preggers with my 1st child and at 2 months I had this pain from hell,turned out to be a 12 lb cyst on my ovary they said they had to send it off to see if it was cancerous or not I was a wreck but everything turned out great,except for the pain I had to carry that around until i hit 4 months preggers if I wanted to not have a miscarriage or something go wrong with my daughter.
I must say WOW to all that hardcore exersicing your doing way to go,I am going to try some new exersices tonight since I can't get a walk in hubby works late and it is raining.
Have a great day and good luck with the long hair flower planting trucker he sounds sweet and cuite. Tammy

Hey Anna,

I'm sorry to hear about the tumor and I really do hope it's benign too. Do you know when your MRI will be, or has it not been scheduled yet? If it hasn't been scheduled did they say how long it'll take approximately before you will get in for one? I hope everything goes well for you and it turns out ok.

About your exercise and eating, you do soooo well! I'm so amazed at how on track you are It's very inspiring to see someone do the things you want to do yourself. I really want to be able to job but I can't go for more than 30 seconds, if that! And when I did go with my sis last week it was SO hard and my lungs hurts sooo bad. Then the next day my ankles were sore. AH! I hope one day I can jog like you and be consistant on my eating like you

 

[Sophie335]

youre kicking ass with your exercise! no wonder youre attracting guys x

 

[Curvie Girlie]

Thanks Blancita. I'll have instant relief when they tell me they don't see anything. Had my gall bladder out, but the pancreas is being a bad boy now. I love the Spanish language and would like to immerse myself in it for a year or two.

WOW! You're truly a trooper, Anna! Are you sure it's safe to diet at this time?

 

[2Skinny]

When you increase weight, its OK to do less reps at first like starting with 8 and moving up to where you can do 12 to 15 before you increase the weight again. Main thing is, dont be afraid to increase the weights as often as you can handle it (for those who have their form down). I'll look forward to hearing Steve's response as well .

Thank you Blancita. That's exactly what I did, a few less reps with 8 pounders last night. Steve answered in his diary and I like his method of 5 sets of 5 reps, with the last couple sets with a few less reps.

Oh Anna, I do hope the pancreatic tumor is benign! What were your symptoms?

Thanks for your PM, Debi, I feel mentally/emotionally stronger as the week wears on

Are you scheduled to have it checked out and when and how long will it take them to determine whether or not it's cancerous?
What time of day do you run and lift?
I love long hair on men! It's so rock-n-roll, rock chic. haha I'm excited for you as if I'm going to Mexico for the winter! I certainly do hope you have a delicious torrid love affair. Have fun 2Skinny

I get an endoscopy in three months and an MRI in 6 and they'll monitor it closely...early detection is everything. A co-worker has lived with her pancreatic tumor for years and it must be benign cuz it's not growing. I do the gym right after work or right after supper. I didn't know you're going to Mexico. Whereabouts? That's awesome.

Hello! I finally made it in here. It looks good. Congrats on upping the weights. I always feel so much stronger when that happens!! Hope you have a great day!!

Hi there; you check in now and then and I always appreciate it.

My friend just had a scare with cervical cancer and it all turned out ok so I will hope that is what happens with you. Good luck and know that we are here for you

THANK you Mishi, you guys are the greatest. I weighed in at 150 today so I felt happy and now I refuse to think about that pancreas.

I was preggers with my 1st child and at 2 months I had this pain from hell,turned out to be a 12 lb cyst on my ovary they said they had to send it off to see if it was cancerous or not I was a wreck but everything turned out great,except for the pain I had to carry that around until i hit 4 months preggers if I wanted to not have a miscarriage or something go wrong with my daughter.

Oh my gosh, Tammy, what a terrible thing to happen. I'm so glad you and your daughter are alright.

It's very inspiring to see someone do the things you want to do yourself. I really want to be able to jog but I can't go for more than 30 seconds, if that! And when I did go with my sis last week it was SO hard and my lungs hurts sooo bad. Then the next day my ankles were sore. AH! I hope one day I can jog like you and be consistant on my eating like you

Thanks for wishing me well, Risty. I am feeling back to my normal self now that I know I'm in good hands and there's a plan in place with endoscopy and MRI, and a great doctor. Don't worry at all about not being able to do what you want in exercise...there's a time for everything and right now, I have time for going all out...but other times I do not. I understand about jogging and I used the elliptical trainer to get through the 150s and now will use jogging to take me through the 140s. I don't like to jog with a lot of extra weight because my knees take a beating. You'll jog if you want to, when you want to.

youre kicking ass with your exercise! no wonder youre attracting guys x

LOL thanks Sophie...my problem is I'm often not attracted to them (did I say that out loud ) Thanks for visiting my diary and you're welcome any time.

WOW! You're truly a trooper, Anna! Are you sure it's safe to diet at this time?

Thanks Curvie, I asked my doc that because I wondered too. And he said as long as I don't deprive myself of adequate nutrition or have digestive problems (diarrhea, gurgling, pain, etc.) I can continue. He thought exercise might actually help my digestion ... but I'll certainly monitor things. I do have my little cries, and felt tempted to feel sorry for myself and not go to the gym last night, but I said to myself, would you like to be a slim woman with a pancreatic tumor or a fat woman with a pancreatic tumor. LOL It worked.

I'm really dragging my butt on cleaning my backyard. Dog doo-doo patrol urgently required. he he he I'm resolved to clean that up and clean the inside of the house and have my sister for supper on Sunday.
I colored my hair dark brown and put a shock of red in the bangs just to tell life I'm in charge! GrrrrrrrARGH!

 

[lukewarm]

oops I wasn't clear, I meant I am happy for you...as though it were me going to mexico. It was early in the morning. I know I e-mumble.

Oh my gosh! Awesome on the 150!

 

[2Skinny]

Ahso. Darn I thought you were going. I was just looking for your journal. See you there!

 

[Blancita]

I'm really dragging my butt on cleaning my backyard. Dog doo-doo patrol urgently required. he he he

LOL. Too funny Skinny!

I must say I really admire your positive attitude, that'll go a long long way toward keeping you healthy.

What's going on with the trucker?

Good for you on the weight loss!

I'm so happy you're feeling better .

 

[Risty]

felt tempted to feel sorry for myself and not go to the gym last night, but I said to myself, would you like to be a slim woman with a pancreatic tumor or a fat woman with a pancreatic tumor. LOL It worked.

That is just the best attitude ever! I can't even say how great I think your attitude is! It's very inspirational! I've not gone to the gym for far less than that before! Good for you

 

[2Skinny]

What's going on with the trucker?

He's gone til the weekend at which time we have dinner planned. Methinks he'd like to get all romantic way sooner than me. I am so not a romantic. My Ex husband cured me of that! Doh! Now I'm a realist extraordinaire! It's nice he thinks that's part of my charm. lol

I've not gone to the gym for far less than that before! Good for you

I've stayed away for less reasons too I'm just on a roll and want to capitalize on the roll while it's here, if that makes sense.

 

[mishi]

You are doing so well and you are so close to the 140's!!! I am green with jealously Congratulations and that is wonderful news!!!! I hope you have a great Friday!! but it sounds like a happy day Viva the roll!!!

 

[M2M]

Good Morning Anna,

There's nothing wrong with being a Realist!!
Glad he recognizes it as a GOOD thing!

Have a good weekend

 

[Miss Ladybug]

Morning Anna!! thanks for stopping by my diary, we have a lot of catching up to do. I can't believe you have twin boys (18) mine turn 18 in October. Needless to say I'm so swamped right now with senior stuff I can't keep my head straight. Proms, dinners, pictures, senior breakfast, special activities, I'm going BROKE! Plus, one of mine has attitude lately, but I think he's stressing over his girlfriend. Ugggg, he's the strong willed one like myself, I'm sure that's why we argue lately. HAHAHA Well, I really need to get busy, but I'm going to read up on your diary later this evening okay. I'm honored to have met you!! And also, I wish you well on your health. Ummm, my sister and I are best of friends, she exactly a year and 12 days older than myself, she was diagnosed a few years ago with cervical cancer, they burned it all out, it was horrible, horrible. But, she's cancer free today and it's just great, OH did I mention my mom had the same thing in her 30's. It's been scary for us ladies. So my heart goes out to anyone dealing with this type of issue. I look forward to more of your posts. Have a great & blessed day!
Kim

 

[Cannon 2006]

Good morning. You really are doing well! 150 pounds is a great number. I just love your optimistic attitude.

 

[lukewarm]

Annaaaa let us see a pic of the hair! Please? : puppy-dog eyes : <<maybe this could be a shih tzu. lol I don't think it's very persuasive though. haha. It sounds so hot!

That's alright, sometimes realists need to have a more idealistic person in their lives to lighten them up a bit. Realists have a great sense of humor though I do love your attitude 2Skinny. Hope you have a good night.

Hi Kim, I was real happy to see your entry in my diary. I remember prom last year for the boys was expensive too..tuxedo rentals, etc. And that's funny you say one boy currently has attitude because that's exactly what I'm going through. And he's the one who's more like me also
I'm sorry your family has had such scares and dealings with cancer...it's so hereditary. It's so ugly I don't even like talking about it. I just had a friend who had a masectomy, but she's in such good spirits. I think I'm mowing her lawn tomorrow.

Good morning. You really are doing well! 150 pounds is a great number. I just love your optimistic attitude.

Thanks Cannon, completely fell off the wagon tonightwith my eating, but I try to let myself have one evening where I relax on the food.

Annaaaa let us see a pic of the hair! Please?

I have to get someone to take a picture of me...my hair is okay, but I think I prefer it blonde. Ah well, who cares...it's just hair. I'll work on a pic

Today my meals were good, except supper was fast food and I had junk food while watching that movie, Archangel with Daniel Craig. At one point in the movie he invites this Russian woman to come back to New York with him and I'm yelling at the T.V. "Daniel, I'll go with you to New York, don't ask that skank!! What are you doing Daniel!?!" I'm okay now. Movie's over.
Tomorrow, I'm going to eat right, get to the gym, try for an hour jog (we'll see) and clean my house from top to bottom. I'm a bit nervous about dating Wayne because I've been a bit of a social retard the last couple years. You know, generally just yelling at men on the t.v.
