Month: January 2016

If anyone read last nights post on health issues and is interested. One of the docs got back to me this morning. Here’s his opinion, and I tend to agree as it makes sense and goes along with all my research. This has has happened to me on three occasions in the last 3 years (the perfect weight drop, the sudden weight gain, and then into the hospital we go). This time I am fortunate to have recognized it.

Anyways, what is going on is that I have to stop taking the diuretics. It seems they are causing me to drink way too much water which is probably affecting other things in my body (electrolytes, hormones, etc). I am drinking around 120 ounces of water a day, way too much. The other thing is that one of the diuretics I am on prevents the absorption of some hormones, one of them being testosterone, which it seems plays a big part in my long runs and my training for the 1/2 marathon. This explains some muscle aches, tingling, and other stuff that is going on.

So the doc thinks that by getting off the diuretics, allowing my body to process water normally while I am doing all the running I am doing is the best thing. I am to keep a log of water, weight, and food. He wants as low sodium as possible. He wants weights in the AM, then after my run, and PM and wants me to hydrate to keep my weight as steady as possible without the use of the diuretics. You know, it makes sense and I can do this.

I am tagging a few people that helped me last night talk this problem through and got me off the ledge. Didn’t mean to miss anyone.

To all my friends:

Starting tomorrow I plan on taking a Facebook vacation. I am not going to hide my account but I am going to not sign on for a while and I am removing it from my phone (along with messenger). Facebook used to be a happy place for me, it has slowly changed to a very depressing, obnoxious, and full of bullies sort of place and I am really not into it right now. I have no idea how to only see things on my newsfeed that my friends post, I am not even sure if it is possible. I wade through piles and piles of crap to find your posts that I really value.

I have dropped several people recently from my friends list because of their name calling and cyber attacks on others. I choose not to associate with this and it’s a shame because several of them I have really respected in the past.

For those who need to reach me, and please do if it is important, most of you can text me on my cell phone number (eight 6 zero seven 9 eight 7 zeroo three 2) or please use my email address of molnarc .at. mac dot com (translate this into something that looks familiar). If there is something going on here that I really need to know about please let me know.

I plan on being in Jacksonville at the end of the month for SOMOS weekend fun, while I will not have any dogs running, I do want to come up and help out. I will try and stop at The Best Bet At Orange Park Kennel Club sometime that weekend. I will be at the Gasparilla – Tampa Bay Run the weekend of Feb 20 + 21st and then back home at least for a while.

Thanks for understanding.

Good morning all! It is 64 degrees here in Babson Park, FL. It is POURING rain this morning and I have already had the wet dog brigade in and out of the house. Surprisingly enough even Mindy decided to go out twice. I guess they know there isn’t much of a chance in you know what they will be getting a walk this morning.

Today has started out like a few others lately – wading through my FB posts and comments from last night that FB suggests I read. Three more people off my friends list as they cannot have a conversation without flat out insulting people and calling people names. Hey, this is getting easy!!!

Work today, some late afternoon meetings, and then we have company for the weekend. I may decided to take a Facebook holiday until Monday.

Anyone, everyone have a great day!
