On a Road with no End in Sight


Last night's visit to my family doctor was more frustrating than anything. he didn't have any answers for me. I had to get more blood work done and the nurse was rough. As a result I now have this huge bruise on my arm. Great!


I am also being sent to a gynocologist and being sent for a lower pelvic ultra sound. This is due to my ever present spotting every month.


As for my thyroid my family doctor believes that because I am not morbidly obese and because my levels have improved that no endo will want to take me on because they will believe I can be treated fine with a family doctor.


I left with absolutely no answers and this 2 year battle got the best of me. I couldn't hold back the tears any more. I went home and immediately drew myself a bath. Thankfully I have the most understanding boyfriend who didn't comment when I walked right by him and into the bathroom, not emerging for about an hour.


Once I did emerge I was in much better spirits and had calmed down. Loosing myself in a good book helped a lot.


Today I woke up and did the very first Tae Bo workout I ever did way back in high school. It was fantastic!!! The only thing that sucks is that I have used this so much that the sound is now off! hahahaha But it's still very do-able.


To add to my workout I used the weighted gloves and really felt my shoulders. Especially when doing the speed bag drills. Goodness those are killer.


My plan is to keep going with my cardio experiment. I might stop the thyroid medication entirely and the hormones to see if my body will correct itself...or at the very least the hormones so that all i am taking is one pill a day. The hormones come with a crazy schedule - once a day for 6 days, one -twice daily for five days, and then two-twice daily for 18 days. It's crazy!


I am planning on doing some intense workouts this weekend...not sure which ones yet, but I know they will be intense.
