Hello,
I have been feeling sick recently because of my period... it makes the interstitial cystitis worse. I still haven't heard back from the job I interviewed for. I sent them an email asking what their timeline for making a decision was. (This sounded more mature to me than just writing to beg for the job)!
Even though I haven't been feeling well, I have been knocking my workouts out in the gym. I feel great about that! I have been waiting for Derek to come home and take me so that if the pain did increase, he could pick me up. I am getting better at recognizing the difference between pain that is from exercise, vs the pain that is from sickness. When it feels like my organs are all being dragged downwards to my pelvic floor, this is bad and a time when I might need to step away from the machine and take a break. Same if I feel random or constant stabs of pain right under my ribcage. But I can and will work through the normal pain and soreness of exercise!
I have been staying well within my calories... in fact now that I have kicked up my exercise, I think I may be eating too FEW calories. I will continue to count and see, but I don't like to wake up famished early in the morning.
That's my update.. I'm about 174 pounds now. Looks like I will just BARELY miss the 170 by Valentine's Day mark, but it's okay. The only reason it made me sad is that I was also 174 before my period, and then it looked like I was going to make it. But then I looked at my before and current pictures, and realized that I have obviously been doing great. I think the goal helped me stay focused and get into the exercise groove that i am in now.
