Let's change the subject... sorry

I wanted to post my biking progress before I forget.

Sunday (yesterday) I went to Britt's and rode for an hour and did my 9 miles.  I had to push it the last 10 minutes to get 9 miles in but I did it.  :) 

Britt is at the Gym right now, but as soon as she gets home I am going back over.  I'll get on here tonight and post.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's tonight.  LoL  I went to Britt's this afternoon and rode for an hour and 2 minutes to reach 9 miles today.  I must have slowed down at some point.  I was much more winded and felt the effects on my lungs today after riding.  We have an inversion layer today and I am wondering if the stagnate air and the smoke from fireplaces is making breathing more difficult.  I forget about these days.
I have weight in tomorrow, I'll post the results.  I think I have done well.  Actually, I know I have done well ... I just hope the scales shows it.  I have had a problem with constipation for the last couple months.  I have been taking laxative 2 or 3 times a week.  I forgot this week and just took them today.  I don't think they work quick enough for me to rid myself of excess weight before tomorrow's weigh in. 
I have a doctor's appointment on the 9th with my general practitioner and I will talk to her about this.  It's really odd.  I have been eating tons of fresh veggies both steamed and raw, I eat a high fiber diet and high protein.  I can't imagine why suddenly I have this issue?

I have been having nose bleeds.  I am going to buy a humidifier and keep it going this winter and see if that helps.  I have a saline solution (mist) that I can use, but I really hate that stuff.  If the humidifier doesn't work then I'll try the saline.  This morning it was bad, I rolled over and felt a rush of something out of my nose.  Before I could get out of bed and to the bathroom I had a handful of blood.

Boy... What a blog tonight, constipation and bloody noses.  Sorry.

Kelly, you are doing so great...sorry about the constipation and nose bleeds, gosh, it seems like some challenge is always hitting you...is the air dry where you live? If so, the humidifier should help with the dry nose tissue...the constipation is really a puzzle with your high fiber diet, drinking a lot of water, and exercising...be careful of becoming dependent on laxatives...they make your body dependent on them, too...hope you can find an answer to these "issues", you are doing so well..Hugs, Savannah

P.S. maybe the cannula is aggravating your nose tissue, because of the input of pure oxygen? The skin in the inner nose is very thin and sensitive...when I lived in the Sierras and the air was very cold and dry in the winter, I had to put a lubricant in my nose at night to sooth and lubricate it to prevent it from bleeding...just a suggestion...sorry, I can't remember what I used, but I would use "Bag Balm" if I had that problem today..Savannah

P.P.S. Maybe some medication you are taking causes constipation? I know that happens with some medications...might be a good idea to check with your doctor...OK, enough out of me :) Savannah

You are wonderful. I think it has to be a medication I am on that is causing the problem. You're right, I thought with all the fiber and fresh veggies and water something should be happening.

I think you're right about the O2 drying out my nose. It is very dry here. I will try bagbalm I think I may have some around.

I know, I have heard about getting dependant on laxitives, and that's the last thing I want. I just wait and wait and after 5 days of nothing I use them.
I have to confess, with the WW weigh ins I am timing when I am using them so I can weigh less on Tuesdays. LOL Who woulda thought I had to schedule that also! Good lord!
