Back at it again…after a rough couple of months…
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!

Hi there! Saw u on the posting and I myself am a gym nut so I decided to get into bodybuilding and I plan on entering a competition in October. I just recovered from a tendonitis in my shoulder and you seem friendly enough. I am going to add you to my friends since I just joined and don’t have any or any pics posted just yet. But, it is always positive to have extra female motivation. Hang in there girl and keep up the great attitude and hard work!!

Endometriosis is no joke, and most people would have given up. I applauded the way you took it on and now all the hard work is paying off.
