Passing out.

This year is a little, tiny 12 days old. It feels like it has been months. So much has happened, good and bad. I feel so confident moving forward. My eating is totally back on track. I am making the right choices again and keeping my portions in check. One thing I noticed is how hard it is to get my will power back. In the beginning of all of this, someone could put a bunch of cupcakes in front of my face and I wouldn't even budge. This is much harder to do now. I am working on it though. In terms of exercising, that has always been my issue. Working out consistently has always been difficult for me. I have worked out, just not as much as I should. However, wanting to lose these last 23 pounds is motivation enough. I will start consistently again as soon as I get better. Yes, yet another set back, one that has happened before!

I passed out and hit my head. Except this time I hit my head right above my eye on my face, not the back of my head. So, I have a nice, very visible black and blue eye. No concussion though this time! This happened to me 2 years ago. Around this time actually which is kind of bizarre, but I think that is just a coincidence. I woke up around 3am on thursday to use the bathroom and on my way back into my room I passed out and hit my head/face on the molding around my closet door. When I woke up from it, I called out for my mom and just started crying. I was upset that this had happened again and very scared. We went to the E.R, I got a cats-scan, blood work, E.K.G, everything. They really didn't find anything based on those test, so I was diagnosed with syncope. That's basically a fancy term for passing out for no reason. Freaky.

The next day I went to the neurologist, she suggested an E.E.G to check my brain for seizure like activity, stuff like that, which I got done yesterday. Also, I am seeing a cardiologist because I have low blood pressure, which could very likely be the reason I passed out, I go there at the end of the month. So right now we are just trying to figure out why it happened, and I am taking it easy. The side of my body where I fell is super sore and my face hurts terribly.

Last time I hit my head like I said I got a concussion. Not this time, so it won't be a huge awful set back. I am planning on starting to exercise again on Monday.

So far this year, I have not lost any weight (haven't gained either!!) The not losing part is kind of depressing, but, I am not going to let it discourage me. It is an adjustment to get fully back on track. So I am just going to move forward and do my absolute best. Hopefully this weeks results are much more exciting.
