My shoulder hurts...

So something is wrong with my shoulder...reesaferd and i have been workin out doin the P90X stuff for 2 weeks now and suddenly i go down to do a push up and my right shoulder just gives way...i tried again and sure enough...down i went...NOT COOL...so ive just been tryna keep my arm stabilized and not doing much extra with it, but everytime i push on a door to open it i feel it hurtin...i feel it in certain motions when lifting too...very unfortunate...especially cuz i was really liking push ups believe it or not!!! i been lovin this P90X business...it's been a doozy now dont get me wrong!! but i feel great!! and now i really cant do all the arms and even some of the yoga cuz my shoulder wont hold me...im gonna go see a doc soon about it...well actually ill be seein the doc about that AND my second problem...MY TOTAL CHOLESTEROL IS 238!!! I've been known i had high cholesterol bc i got it checked a year or so ago, but my MD wasn't TOO concerned bc my HDLs was really high so at least alot of my total cholesterol was GOOD cholesterol...but now my cholesterol is even higher! even with me eating healthier and workin out 6/7 days of the week! u hav GOT to be kiddin me genetics!!! cellulite and high cholesterol...come on now!!! lol. I've always been really conscious of my *heart* health...my grandpa don died of a massive heart attack and my grandpa kovatch had a few strokes...BOTH had high cholesterol...and my SUPER HEALTHY mother even has high cholesterol..sad sad story folks...sad sad story... now i dont know my cholesterol breakdown cuz it was a free screening so all i got was the TOTAL cholesterol but REGARDLESS...238!!! thats way too high...so unfortunately i have to talk to a doc about that as well...it looks like im buyin myself some lipitor or something. I REALLY hope that all of ye people out there take care of themselves and get routine check ups cuz you just never know what's brewin inside...regardless of what the outside looks like and how healthy you THINK you are...cuz i mean let me be evidence Exhibit A...workout...in shape...eat healthy...and some serious high cholesterol brewin inside tryin to get me!! but i wont let it!! noooooooooo no i wont! anyhoots- take care of your temples...check the inside and out...and both MENTALLY and PHYSICALLY...

Anyhoots! off the health topic...on to wedding stuff!!! Been meeting with 920,768 florists (or atleast it feels like it lol) and we met with our last contender today so hopefully be doin some price comparisons soon and then making a decision...we aren't too hung up on flowers..just simple and elegant so it hasn't been hard...and we DEF aren't making it a big expense...we've actually been BEASTS with the budgeting!! We have kept ourselves WAY under budgest...im rather proud of us. We've also done a bunch of caterer tastings which has been AH-MAZ-ING!!! our reception site doesnt have an in-house caterer but what they do is either a)u bring your own in or b) you use one of the 3 they work with. SO we been eatin our hearts out with those 3 caterers!!! We always laugh when we leave the caterer cuz we feel like we robbed somebody or something...ya go in...GET YA DAG-GONE GRUB ON...and then leave lol no cost...just full bellies :) after we met with all 3 we decided on one and got so excited bc they had everything we wanted and it was all SO delicious! and then...a few days later...i get an email stating that that specific caterer is no longer in partnership with our reception site!!! figures right? apparently if any vendor that works with our reception site doesnt get rated 10/10 from the brides then they get dropped!! i was like seriously? well WE liked them! So essentially, now we get to go get our bellies fed for free again at the other two as if the slate is clean and hopefully make a choice between the two. Each one of them had ONE thing we didnt really like so the plan is for them to try to tweak a few things and then hopefully we'll feel just as happy with choosing them (whichever one it is) as we were with our first choice...dont get me wrong...neither of the leftover choices were BAD...but they DEF weren't as good as the one we chose...but watever...it happens right? just roll with the punch...

the other decision that has to get made soon is the bridesmaid dresses...chels and i went and scoped some out 2 weeks or so ago and found some super pretty dresses and then she just found another so nowwwww just gotta pick one! lol...i think they are all very pretty and will look B-E-A-UTIFUL on all of my lovely ladies!

I suppose the only other things for us to do now is get our engagement pics done with our photographer (who we are GEEKED about)...and start looking into honeymoon spots...a nurse i work with used a travel agent nearby and really recommended her so i think we're gonna try that...we're hoping to go somewhere warm and with a swim up bar...neither one of us are drinkers like that but i always thought that sounded fun! hey i might be swimmin up just for a raspberry ice tea or lemonade but itll be fun non-the-less!! lol

Now im startin to get tired...ive been wanting to blog for a while but whenever i get down time i always find myself chillin outside or runnin around somewhere so by the time im sittin down at the apt im watchin a movie w the hubs and keep the computer closed...i gotta work tomorrow mornin too...i feel like i been livin at the j-o-b recently...i picked up extra shifts basically all this month which tires me just thinkin about it! but hey the paycheck will be good right? right.

Tonight i had my first CICU (my unit at work) team softball game and had a blast! softball isnt really my gig...i played baseball with my brothers when i was little but thats really the extent of it...so i just goofed off mainly lol...i think i got some serious potential with my batting skills but i really dont like outfield...i always hope it doesnt come to me..ESPECIALLY cuz i dont wanna have to throw the ball back and literally end up throwin my shoulder out for real...i wish i could just be a base runner...id be good at that lol it was fun tho...i work with some perdy fun individuals so its alllll good. I gotta take my glove back that i bought today tho...apparently its the size of a kids tee-ball glove ...my hand fit in it so i just got it...i dont know the difference haha...buyin a new glove is on the list of things-to-do most def! thankfully one of the other nurses was oh so kind as to let me use hers (and the crowd says "AWWWWWWW!") lol. Wat we NEED to do is get a volleyball or flag football team together...then id actually be decent and contribute more than just goofin off and cheerin...although id be doin both of those still as well...id just be good at it too! and i love volleyball and football soooooooooo im gona start workin on startin those teams

Well it looks like its bedtime now...its actually PAST my bedtime sooooooooo nighty night!! Be healthy! Don't skip anual check ups! Better to find something early and do something about it then find out when its almost too late...preventative care and primary care are the one to go my friends i promise ya...
