peeperjj's Journal, 17 May 20

Saw this cute shirt at the store the other day and thought I grabbed a small. Turns out I grabbed an XS! Was sure it wouldn’t fit but it did! Paired with silky soft Nike leggings.

At the gym today I looked at my butt and realized I’ve lost all of it these past few months of not doing leg work. Time to get it in gear and start back up again!

We did bench work Friday and it’s bench day today so we did it again. I managed to do 95# again for flat and incline but it was harder. Raise it to 75# on military press from 65#. Hate dips but managed those with almost 1/3 of my weight taken off. Did a couple pull-ups with the 33# taken off. Pulled on the ribs a bit but was able to do them.

Ate lunch and had a snack right before the gym. Still had the heart rate jump up 30 bpm every time I got off a bench. Was a little lightheaded and dizzy off and on but no black spots in my vision. Dr was thinking low blood sugar as my blood pressure held steady for her. At home after doing deadlifts it jumped to 136/87 when its normally 110/80 ish. Heart rate jumped from 80-140 last night. I think I’ve narrowed it down to a heart issue or POTS. When she calls in a week or so to schedule my bone scan and MRI I’ll ask for an EKG again or a stress test.

You look great! Look at that arm definition! Jealous of the XS and workouts! :)

Thank you! That means a lot (with you being all fit and trim!). I really thought I’d have to pass the shirt down to my 11 year old lol. It’s not as flowing as I’d like for the gym but it works :). I prefer my shirts to come below my butt (or close) and to have more movement in them.

Looking great peeps!! Love the pink. I wear that color a lot!

"all fit and trim". I must really trick you guys with my pics. haha. Thanks though.

Thanks wifey! I normally don’t wear pink because it brings out the pink in my face and then I just look red lol. That’s why the pic was at the beginning of the workout and not the end lol.

DP, that last progress pic sure made you look fit and trim!

Great arm definition! My gym opens in two weeks and I’m definitely nervous to find out what has happened to my deadlifts, squats and pull ups 😓

Very nice on the xs. It looks great on you. Hopefully they find out what's going on with you

Thanks guys! Chris, our gym put in new lighting. Not gonna lie, the lighting makes a big difference if you get under one of them just right lol. The problem is they are spaced several feet apart. The upper right pic I was directly under one and the others I wasn’t. I didn’t pay that much attention until I got home to scrutinize them lol. One thing our gym did while closed was install new ‘lights’. They just replaced all the bad bulbs and didn’t actually put in any more lights. Some areas are still pretty dark even with one wall of windows on the North. (There’s a few nooks and crannies where the lights don’t reach well)

Our YMCA locker room is a bit dim too. Rarely use it though. Perhaps they think we would rather not have bright harsh lighting when we are changing clothes. 😝

You look fantastic! I have gym envy for sure... Well looking at the photos, that's not all I envy. 😁 Sorry you were feeling weird. I hope you can find out something simple that is happening and how to resolve the trouble. ❤️

Thanks! I called my dr yesterday about a stress test. Waiting on a call back to see what she thinks. If it’s PoTS then I just have to live with it. But I recently read up on the chemotherapy drugs I took and all three cause heart issues. Would like to rule that out if possible.

Praying for you! 😔

Thank you! I’m sure it’s probably nothing bad but I still want to check it out in case. Older generations in my family have heart issues and my mom had 2 heart attacks. The chemo I took can cause heart issues so better to be safe than sorry!

Love it love the NSV!!🤗🥰💜💚 How are you feeling today friend?

Good thanks. Still got dizzy and stuff during the workout even after having a big protein packed lunch beforehand so it’s not blood sugar. (That’s why I added in half a cinnamon roll for the sugar) It seems to be worse when I’m hot. Things like workouts, yard work, weeding the garden etc. Anything that involves bending over and standing back up. 🤷‍♀️ I can live with it but I can’t wait to find out what it is for sure.

So basically you need orthostatics testing done and you definitely need to see cardiologist. This has been happening for a long time with you. You’re body definitely reacts to laying down and sitting up and standing. Make sure you get in♥️💜💚

The nurse called and said my dr wants me to get set up with a cardiologist and do an EKG then see where to go from there. A bit scary that she thinks I need a cardiologist unless a PA can’t order an EKC or stress test.
