Soo it has been a rough couple of months for me. First we had a huricane that closed our gym for a little while, then I started a new job. All at the same time I started having some really bad female problems. My endometriosis was always pretty controllable til a couple months ago. When I went to the doctor we tried a couple of things to help with the problems but it wasn’t working. I was constantly hurting, exhausted, and my hormones were all over the place. I completely stopped working out and paying attention to my diet. I basically went to work then went home and got in bed every night.

I finally opted to have the surgery when nothing else was working. I had it the first week of January and they removed all the endo and a lesion that was sticking my uterus wall together. I am feeling soo much better already. The doctor put me into a medical menopause, so I am curious to see how the mood swings will affect my exercise and diet. However, some report weight loss while most report weight gain. So right now I am more determined to eat healthy and work my butt off to counter the possible "fat shot" I have coursing through my veins! Just started at the gym yesterday, boy it felt great to be back in there! Besides the fact that I am soo much weaker than I was, but unfortunately that’s what happens when your out for soo long. I am feeling motivated and ready to get back to my old self again. Today my lower body is pretty sore, but odley it feels soo good, lol!

Anyhow I will soon be taking some scary pictures to track my progress…Haven’t really gained any weight but definetely loss all firmness and strength! I will also be active again on bodyspace, since it’s a great motivator!
