Happy 1 year Blog!

Happy 1 year Blog and Chicago!


Today is the mark of one full year of blogging! I started my blogging on Feb 12, 2012.  I was told I should share my experiences about living with CF with others, and there it started. To learn about me, read my summary on my life/ Cf/ Med problems Click HERE  and to read my first few blog entries Click HERE!

I hope everyone has loved reading and being a part of my blog. As of Today I have had over 7,765 visits on my site in the past year. My first few blogs averaged 15- 20 views per entry. Now I range between 60-80 views per blog. I'm pretty happy that it seems people have enjoyed reading. As long as people continue to follow my blog, I will continue writing!

Chicago
This past weekend my boyfriend and I went to Chicago. On Saturday we got up there in the early evening and hung out with a couple friends. Then we went to dinner at The Signature Room (95th Floor of the Hancock Building). It was amazing, the food, the company, and the veiw of course!

Here was our veiw:

 We walked around Chicago for a bit both days and sunday we went to Navy Pier to see Julius Caesar at the Shakespear Theatre! The play was amazing! And I had a lot of fun this weekend. It is weird to think how few times I have actually been in Chicago, while all my life living a few hours away. We got back late on Sunday, I did some homework and fell asleep, what an ending to an amazing weekend...lol


Even with the busy weekend I got my meds done and I didn't lose any weight. In fact I gained a pound. I weigh 94 ish now! I have to focus on health, work, school, the plays I'm in, and applying to grad schools. I have no time to worry about housework. So as I sit here, doing therapies and blogging, I can see things I need to put away or do. It is annoying, because honestly, I like to clean (if I can listen to and dance to music). Cleaning is instant gratification and it can be fun. But sadly, my house it going to get messy this week. Saturday I can clean it in the morning though! When does everyone else clean? At night before bed, throughout the day, I never have the time and lately nor the energy to get myself to do it, except on my days off. My days off turn into massive cleaning binges (my house is never that dirty, I'm just a lil obsessive about it).

Also, once my weight it 98 ish I'm going to start hard core jogging again. And next week I hope to start lifting weights with a friend of mine (he's a trainer/body builder), so he's going to help me out. Maybe, I can get some muscle on my scrawny arms. yay!

Today's BIG Appointment

 I discussed last week about my recent struggles & goals. I have been dealing with a lot all at once! Family planning (update on that in 2 weeks), my Grandma's funeral, lower lung function. Through it all I have remained very compliant with my meds! My health is VERY important to me. So this last weekend I took my vest machine, wabi sterilizer system , and packs of ensure to my parent's for the weekend. I wanted to make sure I did everything. While it was a sad occasion, it was still pleasant seeing almost all of the family together again. Actually 27 out of 29 of the cousins made it to the funeral. Grandpa is in the middle of the picture (can you find me?) LOL   On top of my medications I have been doing some dancing & walking, but no jogging or anything. I'm still counting calories on my fitbit (hitting over 3000) a day (& 40 grams of protein, 50 grams of fat at least). I knew I was feeling a bit better than before, but wasn't sure what to expec...

No Holiday Blues, just Tummy Troubles!

Stomach Issues, Gee, Wonder Why: Let me start by stating that, I take a lot of pills. Its not a big deal and all of them are very important. I take vitamins, oral antibiotics, some oral steriods, pills for acid reflux, pills for arthritis, and then enzymes every time I eat.  But lots of people don't realize how crucial those pills are to me (well, to us CFers) I take 5-6 enzymes with meals and 3-4 with snacks (so 30 enzymes, and 10 other random pills a day). I have been good about taking them. I hate that Cystic Fibrosis affects my digestive system so much. If I can't digest anything, I won't have the nutrients I need to keep healthy, or be able to digest the food to keep weight on. Over the years, the enzymes have gotten better and help us absorb more. I've been on Pancreas, Creon, and now have been on Zenpep for the last couples years. I love my Zenpep ( read the RX list for Zenpep here ) However, the enzymes weren't effective en...

Husband and Wife

We Took Our Vows: Sunday, August 16th, Andrew and I said "I do." People asked me all weekend if I was getting nervous and now that we are married people ask how married life is going. Well, here is what I have been telling everyone.  No, I wasn't nervous about the wedding or marrying Andrew. I was slightly nervous I'd fall flat on my face in 2 inch heels walking down the aisle (which was grass). But, why would I be nervous to get married to Andrew. I've never had a doubt in my mind about him. I knew I wanted to marry him. We were  ready to be husband and wife and you just know when you are ready. So no, I wasn't nervous. And now that we are married I'd have to say life is similar to it was before we were married. People say "oh things change after you're married." But they didn't for us. I'm not sure if that's because we are open with each other, or have been through a lot early on in our relationship. Read this past post ab...
