Tomorrow either supersets or P90X.



I just dont see how working out would cause your blackouts... I keep thinking there is something they aren't seeing...

I have no problem working out, I call it blacking out for lack of a better term. They say that it most resembles a seizure but ruled that out with the tests they did. Normally working on my back seems to cause nausea and disorientation. It only takes several minutes to start. Friday I was working on my car for a while and it got quite severe but I'm not sure if I blacked out. Last year when I did blackout I was sitting in a stool, I felt a little nauseas and disorientated, when I stood up after a few seconds I fell to the ground but caught myself, a few seconds later I went to stand up and that's when it happened. I turned white, my eyes rolled to the back of my head, I was sweating like crazy, had severe body twitches and eratic eye movement with sight loss. I regained consienceness in about 6-7 minutes,I got to the er in about 1/2 hour but the symptoms lasted for 4-5 hours. The next morning when I woke up everything was normal.

Wow. Who knows I'm just like they are doctors its their job to figure it out hahaha and not send you on your way when you could blackout and hurt yourself. That sounds really scary. I've only blacked out once and I cried it scared me, not gonna lie. Maybe you need a different opinion... idk. I hope they figure it out soon.

I would think they could figure it out as well. I was in the hospital for hours with the symptoms, and then for an additional week. They did every test imaginable from blood work, mri's, ultra sounds various heart monitors and event monitors tilt table tests x-rays you name it they did it. I was seen by cardiologists, neurolagists eye and ear doctors and various other specialist I can't pronounce lol. The odd thing is I can reproduce the symptoms by doing hyperextensions and did so while hooked up to monitors to check heart rate and blood pressure and even though they can witness the symptoms every test shows up normal. Hyperextensions are the only ercise I do with extreme caution, normally after doing a set I stand and hang on for a minute untill I stabalize. Even doing crunches on a 45 deg table I have no problem.

It doesn't really stop me much although it is in the back of my mind sometimes.

I have done Zumba previously and plan to start a new Zumba class on Monday along with continuing my cardio line dance class 2 days a week (instead of the previous 3 days). All this info also applies to me as I have noticed some of the tendacies of these dance/exercize classes to twist legs and put strain on arms if you are not careful. But man are they good cardio & great fun which is what keeps me going.

Flax seed oil helps joints too, I get it in the capsules, I take it with my first meal and last meal! I meant to mention that before!

Day 2: Stationary bike 35 mins 309 calories burned. MAX HR 191 AVG HR 126, Stayed 2m46s in zone between 140 - 170 BPM. Looking forward to tomorrow talked to the trainers today start weight training next Tuesday 2 days a week. Still have 5 days from previous time losing weight feels right again. Thanks again for all your support.


Right now i am getting my Stamina back and trying to get a routine going. I have done it before and I will do it again using the tools i have used in the past. Since i started eating right again without exercising i have lost 6 pounds and its only been 4 weeks. I figure adding cardio will get an extra pound a week then adding strength training will add another.

Thanks again For all your support every bit helps me.

Hi Jeff, sounds like you're on the right track. It's not easy doing this but the rewards are well worth it in the long run. Just stick with it and if you have ups and downs in weight loss don't be discouraged, it's the way the body works.Finding a routine that works for you is very useful and your stamina will increase with time. Good luck and if there is anything you would like to know feel free to ask.
