Ok, so this past week I not only fell off the healthy wagon, but it ran me over. And then it backed up and ran me over again. Dang it! We all know there's an excuse coming so I won't waste your time bullshitting and saying there is no excuse. There is one and I think it's a good one. You may disagree, but here goes.
Soo.... I was a stark raving mad lunatic last week who was eating everything in sight. I was also curled up on the couch (or the bed) most of the week in a sad attempt to not feel like I was dieing some horrible death. Yup, that's right, I was on my period. If anyone says, "Oh well mine aren't that bad, I don't know what you have to complain about." I will shoot you. Like, hunt you down and shoot you. Repeatedly.
I have endometreosis and for those sisters of mine who know what that is, thank you for understanding. For those that don't, google it. My case is pretty rough, it's gotten better the past few years, but at it's worst, I have been known to bleed for two weeks, take a week off, then bleed for two more weeks. During this entire time there would be unbearable cramps which I would have to take off school or work for. This month wasn't as bad as that, but it still sucked.
But yesterday I got back on the horse. I worked out using my pilates tape and spiffy new yoga mat. Today I did all 3 sections of my butt and thighs workout with Kathy Smith. That's right, ALL 3 sections, AND the warm up, AND the cool down for a total of 50 minutes of ass and leg hell. Go me! I also decided to get back on the Wii and see how much weight I gained during my week of hell and surprisingly, I lost 1.5 pounds! Awesome! For shits and grins, my age was 26 on there (still younger, woo hoo!).
Basically I fell off the wagon. The important thing is, I got back on. This year, I HAVE to get healthy. Not skinny, HEALTHY.
p.s. If anyone has any tips to help with the endo, I'd appreciate it (heat does NOT work). Thanks!
I've had a bad week too... but don't give up!
