TGIF

This week has probably been the worst so far of my first month on the Lupron shots. I go for my second shot this coming Monday. I had my usual symptom of throwing up followed by the dizziness and the massive headache that medicine doesn't take away. Usually that's a sign that my period is going to start soon or at least it has been for almost two years. According to the information that I read about the shots, you can still get your period for the first two months you're on the shots.

The first two weeks after getting my first shot, I was staying with a friend so my daily workout routine was interrupted. I had been going to pilates three mornings a week and doing a kick boxing class once a week plus taking my dog for a walk. The first week of the shot I was so tired I could barely concentrate on work...not sure if that was the shot or the fact that I was out of my routine and had been traveling quite a week in a short period of time. Then the first week that I was back home I ended up with a bit of a sinus infection so between that and early morning meetings, I wasn't able to get to the gym. I started back this week. I decided that I'm more of an early morning workout person so I changed my workout schedule to all morning routines. I'll still do the 3 mornings of pilates but now I'll do the elliptical for 30 minutes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. When and if feel up to it, I may add the kick boxing class back in but for now this keeps me active and will hopefully help with some of my excess weight issue. I'm just trying to take one day at a time, which means trying to stay active and trying not to get frustrated that the weight won't just drop off but that I'll actually have to work at it. But isn't that all about finding the balance in my life? Slow and steady wins the race. I need to find balance between food, exercise, work, and the rest of life.
