Updates and Cystic Fibrosis Clinic.

An Update:

I have my next CF Clinic this Thursday! Yipes, I'm a lil concerned. I didn't have my therapies for a week, so I'm gonna have to work really hard the next 4 days to get my lungs in better shape. Also, weight wise, not what I was hoping for. But otherwise, I'm doing good!

Its sooo weird how fast I can drop weight. Seriously, a couple days ago while weighing myself at mom's I weighed 98 lbs. I need to get back up to 107 again (dr. B wants 115).

However, today this is my weight:
Not sure how I dropped so much, especially since yesterday I had breakfast, lunch, steak n shake last night (with some friends) And I even hung out with a friend and had a couple beers last night. I didn't jog, or do any dance practices, just work, and went saw a show. Calorie wise, I shouldn't have lost any weight yesterday.

[side note: I don't drink much or often, but I did start drinking in 2012, when my dr. gave me the "green light" and said it is okay sometimes; But in no way do I think it is the best idea for every CFer, due to liver issues/ liver transplants. Be smart and Safe.]

 Guess, I'm just going to keep working at my weight, maybe start drinking nutiritional drinks before work. I think between waitressing and running around between classes and play practices the weight just melts off. 

Ps. Did you all notice my awesome socks :-)

Otherwise, I'm doing great. I'm back into the swing of doing my CF Challenge (read about it here!) Excited about the plays I'm in, keepin up with homework and work related stuff. Started to do a little jogging, not too much since my weight is low. My Stomach Tube is a lot better than it was and my surgery for the double hernias is March 12th @ 6:30 am. I have spring break from classes that week, then I will take off a couple days for work too. So that should work out perfect! Yay!

Everything is coming together very nicely :-)

And

Happy SuperBowl Sunday!

How Fostering and CF impact my work

I haven't been on my blog much.... I think that is because most of my blogging is currently been done on Health Union's Cystic-Fibrosis.com (here is link to all my posts on their site: https://cystic-fibrosis.com/members/cherizkunkel/ ). I decided last fall to step away from real estate after 3 years in the business. It was tough to say good-bye, especially since I had tripled my volume and business in the last year. However, I didn't have time to add any new clients; I kept saying, maybe next week, next month I can fit more work into my schedule. The truth is fostering takes a lot of time. We have between 5-8 monthly visits at the agency, 1 court ate a month, 2 home visits from the caseworker a month, plus e have 2-3 doctors/specialist appointments for our current kiddo. We have lots of paperwork we fill out, gas mile logs, receipts to add, and more! Our kiddo also participates in gymnastics and dance two nights a week. We go to a fosterparent support group with our kid ...

First, of all since I was admitted last Thurirsday morning, I have gained weight. 1. because I don't have time to make food and eat at home as much as I need and 2. Who wouldn't devore a meal of roast beef, potatoes, veggies, fruit, and pudding at 6pm then order anothertray with shrimp and rice, and more dessert at 7pm? 1. So as of today I am 107.4 lbs! This is the highest I have been in a very long time. To check out my weight and lung functions changes over the years click here- Clinic-My Health Page! Only, down side...I need to buy new pants and running shorts, none of them fit me...I'm cheap and picky with clothes..so it may take a while. However, I'm sure a trip to Delia's will change my mind. Ps. for some reason Delia's usually fit, when others are t...
