So I healed up from the procedure, and was watching The Biggest Loser, and was all inspired by Bob Harper and thought "man if he were my trainer I could do this in a snap". So I went to the library and got his motivational CD / inner compass program, and his beginners workout DVD. The next day, I take invigorating hike to warm up the muscles, then I pop in the DVD thinking "yeah, this will be great to start with a beginners workout". IT WAS PURE INSANITY. I was soaked with sweat and for 3 day afterward felt like I was 85 and has sprained hamstrings, and that's after doing everything right. Stretching, staying within my range of motion, and cooling down, etc.... it kinda discouraged me, and truth, I haven't worked out since. Of course in my justifications I say " oh its ok you need time to recuperate after that crazy workout" but what I really need is to get off my butt and get moving again.......This journey is such an emoitonal roller coaser and often I find the ride is giving me whiplash.

Figured some stuff out... haven't exercised for over a week now because of medical issues, and on thursday I had my uterus roto-rootered to remove some endometrial polyps. Apparently they are a pretty common occurance, but they were causing some really heavy bleeding. Having the procedue wasn't as bad as my imagination was making it seem. All in all, feeling pretty well but the doc said to take it easy for a few days. My version of easy was making a full size spiders web out of yarn for Halloween. Raking the grandparents portch off for them, and making a milk jug skeleton. My version of taking it easy meant getting crafty and forgetting all the stress inducing housework... However I think all that energy was because of the drugs. I woke up last night with some serious crampage and backache...guess I will really have to take it easy and do as the doc says.
