Hubby let me get this to help motivate me to start running again. I hope it helps. But right now running is about as easy as a fat girl running away from a cupcake...it's just not happening. YET! That being the major word here! :)
Some of you are probably like what's going on with you and your body now?
Well, to update you all. I quit taking birth control pills and finally stopped bleeding and the roller coaster of emotions I was feeling have also stopped. It feels great!! Apparently, birth control has the opposite effect on me and I believe I found this out a long time ago, but since it had been so long I forgot. Duh!!
I have also been taking a prenatal vitamin, St. John's Wort, Melatonin occasionally to help me sleep or (it works better than the generic for Ambien!!! For me anyways), Milk Thistle, Evening Primrose Oil, and drinking red raspberry leaf tea to help the uterine muscles etc.. I haven't honestly felt this good in a VERY long time! It's amazing how good you can feel once you figure out what your body needs and how to help it!
I've also been doing a little work out at home that consists of squats, leg lifts, push ups, sit ups and a slew of other things. I can't run or jog very often because of bursitis in my left hip from my Army days. But I'm going to try to do it at least twice a week. I'll see if I can manage to get a mile in, but for now that's my goal as small as it seems. LOL
I've also been eating a bit healthier than I was..not so much junk and not consuming as much as I was. I still have my hungry days where I feel like I could eat the kitchen sink, but I think that's stress eating. I need to push past that and stick to a routine...I think once we get moved and settled into our new house, the stress will fade a bit more...for a while at least I hope!
