This is what its been like on blades this winter:

I make it about 30 minutes, then I start to get the attacks. It all depends on the duration and intensity of my workout. I LIKE to GET a workout, and to lose weight, I have to get my heart rate up past a certain point.

The attacks feel like someone is "pinching my fuel line" off. I lose energy, get short of breath, get dizzy, and my legs tire out.

The really WEIRD thing is that once the attack goes away, its like someone throws the switch from "off" to "on"...I mean its THAT instantaneous where i can IMMEDIATELY go back to doing whatever. It usually lasts between 3-5 Minutes.

The problem is by that time, the next attack happens. Then the process starts all over again!

And now once they start, they don't stop.

ALSO contributing factors are:

Weight gain-I gained 20 lbs due to bad workouts from the attacks, but MOSTLY from my poor discipline with eating properly. I eat VERY LITTLE during the day, and a BIG meal at night. bad habit!

High Cholesterol? I am now on a statin drug. I had a bad reaction to Lipitor before, but my Doc says that since my triglycerrides are 650, I best try some more things, or die. I choose the trying of more things!

Caffeine-If it doesn't CAUSE the problem, it ALWAYS makes it worse.

Countdown to Procedure: 3 more shopping days!

(Warning-if you ARE in the office, better turn down the speakers, but it IS damn funny. My boss and I were laughing so hard, we were crying!)

If you have cable internet or broadband dump Explorer for this FAST AS HELL Browser. I am converting ALL my bookmarks over now. I had NO idea just how much faster switching browsers could make with my cable internet. its at LEAST 5 times faster than using pokey Internet Explorer. More comments later!

Evidently when you create a new template, all comments are erased. I apologize to all my friends out there. if I would have known, I would have done something different! I need links again, so all of you need to leave your URLs again please so I can re-link you!

Ablation Procedure Countdown!!!

I have to admit to being a little nervous. I am a PUSS by nature with a low tolerance for pain. That being said, I am also hopeful that this will work.

I KNOW that I am capable of MUCH MORE physically, and that palpatations have been holding me back for many years. Heres how:

1) I used to go on a Moderate (Bicycle) road ride with MUCH better riders than me. I had the energy and the fitness, but the PALPATATION attacks would ALWAYS come at the peak or near the halfway point, and becuase of the no-drop policy, tHE WHOLE PACK would have to wait for me til it stopped. i had to stop going for THEIR sakes.

2) I would get the WHILE BOWLING!!! BOWLING is NOT a HIGH INTENSITY SPORT!!!

3) It freaked out my friends. It worried them. I stopped going with other people because I knew it would make them worry!

3 years of this shit! I am READY for a CURE!

I am ready for this. Its time. I will document the whole thing with pictures, and you are all coming with me!

Noteworthy Blog

I highly recommend this blog. Them Canadians are pretty cool! Go to
MomtheMinx I had a lot of fun over there. And the weather is better too!

Heart Palpatation Mystery FINALLY solved!
I have what is known as Supraventricular Tachycardia which is basically areas in the heart where an electrical impulse "Short Circuits" the heart causing the palpatations. I will be having a procedure known as as known as Catheter Ablation . This is basically where they basically "close the bridge" in the places where the electrical impulse is short-circuiting. Its a pretty simple procedure that SHOULD CURE my palpations!!! I am trying to get in ASAP. The complications are supposed to be rare and few, and the success rate is around 98%. I like those odds!

Here is whats supposed to happen:

What to expect during the operation

The Risks are minimal, and the rewards are pretty likely that I will be free of these accursed palpatations! I will let everyone know when and where its gonna happen!

OMG!!! I sincerely hope not!

You Should Have Been Born Under:

You are solid, methodical, and you do things right the first time. Even when no one else does, you always believe in yourself. You tend to see the world in black and white, right or wrong. A good memory and eye for details means you tend to thrive at near impossible tasks. You are most compatible with a Snake or Rooster.

What Year Should You Have Been Born Under?

Yet another successful Helmet Story!

Well, a friend went to the dome with me to skate last friday. I suggested she get on the safety gear (Which the metrodome loans to ALL who want them).

SURE enough, she fell backwards and hit her heard and backside on the concrete HARD.

Another helmet saves a brain. Wear em guys. YOU could be NEXT!
