Hi Friends.  Stuck at home during Abby's nap getting messages from Omer who is dispatching play-by-play texts from the sidelines at Sammy's soccer game!  So far my little ringer has scored five goals which is amazing.  He is so on fire this season--something really clicked for him and he has been a real machine on the pitch.  Funny though because

That’s great that Sam is doing well with the soccer. I can imagine it’s hard getting into a workout routine- I found it hard when Julia was young. For me the actual mammogram is no big deal it’s the waiting I hate.

I have not been on LJ in ages! I honestly couldnt get logged in and it doesnt work on my phone for some reason. Great to see your update. Of cos I follow along on IG but its nice to read a little more :) I actually went in for an ultrasound on my thyroid yesterday. I had one in December plus a biopsy done (thankful it was benign) and this was a follow ultrasound. I have to go in every 6mths as well. My thyroid is pretty swollen especially my right side. So he's going to watch that pretty closely and keep an eye on it. If it keeps increasing after 3 or 4 ultrasounds, he said he's going to start talking surgery. All of this stuff is pretty annoying. I've never had mammogram but I need to get that done and of cos I've been seeing my hematologist way too often with all these iron issues I'm having. Its like hit 40 and my body decides to fall apart on the inside even though I think I feel pretty ok!

ps. Glad you're enjoying being a soccer mom! I LOVE it (well I'm coach too but its nice when I get to sit and watch:)

Around 41 (I’m saying this now at the ripe old age of 44, lol!) I felt a real change in my physical well- being/health. It SUCKS. Despite doing yoga 4-6 times a week I’m still very stiff when I wake up and later in the day; I’m sort of shocked by that because I’m very flexible. I shudder to think how I’d feel if I weren’t doing yoga!

I think the more we do now to get/be as healthy as possible, the better we will be in the long run.

Great update, glad to hear things are going well.

We're at that age. I started going for alternating mammogram/breast MRIs a couple of years ago due to heightened risk, and I've had two mini scares -- just findings that require an ultrasound, followed by waiting another 6 months to check again. Waiting for those results is hard, even when you can tell yourself rationally that it's probably fine. The what-ifs are so scary! Glad to hear that everything looked ok. I do think they err on the side of a biopsy if they are at all suspicious, so you're probably fine.

I need to get back to exercising too. I was good for a while, then our nanny was away for two separate months and it got difficult to find the time to exercise. I still feel busy having her back, but I really need to prioritize working out.

Have you checked out the Mountain View YMCA? They have cheap, easy childcare.
