Hello World,

Okay I had an epiphany this morning in the bed in a fetal position. Why am I curled up and determined not to step foot out of the house due to menstruation.  I am so new to this process and pain. For several years until this year I have experienced an irregular menstruation, I went maybe a year or two without a cycle. I didn’t complain because who wants to be bothered with it. Silly me….I think you would want a regular cycle or keep up with it because of family planning.

I can say at this time last year I was not dealing with pain and blotting. Silly me…my husband and I decided last year that we would move forward with preparing for a baby. This mean getting my reproductive system in gear for a baby. I can say since I been on the challenge I have experience FIVE menstruation cycle. (Whoopie!) This is a big improvement. I need to Ovulate in order to have a baby.

I think every cycle gets a little more discomforting each time. As the old saying goes “No pain, no gain.” I am so thankful my body is getting into gear but I just have to get use of the adjustment. As I continue to lose weight my body continues to respond. I tend to believe some of the stomach pain, back aches, headaches, and tender chest last week was attributed to my cycle. I  am not used to the symptoms or process.

In closing, I found my way out of the bed and put on my workout gear and headed to the track. I was able to walk a mile and just thank GOD for helping to get up. The sun was shining and the day was beautiful. I will not let this process take me down. I feel so much better but I have to learn the signs again and have a plan to conquer this process. 

Shout out to my dear husband for putting up with me on my emotional roller-a-coaster last week and this week. (It’s all for the bundle of joy to come hopefully next year.)

This Is My Year and Yours too
