It's been awhile since I posted anything. I have been keeping busy with house work and my new workout schedule. It has been over a month since I started my regular workout schedule and only a few weeks since I began adding my weight lifting routine. I have already noticed many changes. Visually I don't look much different yet; only a couple pounds lighter and jeans fit a little better. Physically is where I have noticed the real changes. I feel great, I have more energy even after long hard workouts, and I have started sleeping better. I have suffered from severe headaches and migraines since I was 15 and in recent years the frequency has only gotten worse. Doctors have been unable to find a preventative medicine that works for me so I am taking my rescue meds quite often. So often in fact, I built up a tolerance for Imitrex and had to be switched to Zomig. Since I stared lifting weights however, my migraines have dropped from nine a month to two. For anyone who suffers from this debilitating form of headache you can attest to how wonderful that is. I am far more productive and motivated to do things I normally procrastinate doing (like the dishes). I cannot believe the difference I feel every day. I am happier just in general and feel less stress. I can't even talk myself out of going to the gym. Sometimes I wake up tired or have a lot of errands to run, but even though in my head I am being negative thinking "I can't today, I just don't have time" I always end up putting on my gym clothes and hitting the weights. Some of my friends have been a little negative about the weights. Worried I will get to muscley or lose my womanly figure. I always say the same thing, I am doing this for me and I don't intend to lose my curves only to make them healthier. Plus if I am being honest I have a very competitive spirit and I love the challenge lifting gives me.
