Strength Training changed how my body recovered from Endo surgery six.
When I woke up on day two after the most intense surgery to date (day one I did not move much at all), I knew I needed to try and walk and move a bit, this is key to the healing process, although very hard. I will never forget these two moments; I rolled to the side,...
What a difference a year makes.
What a difference a year makes. One year ago, today, I was in surgery number 6. Today I am back squatting 100lbs. There are many things I am reflecting upon today; how much this year has taught me, changed me, and tested my strength. But to save you from reading a...
Guilt and second-guessing myself.
It is Sunday, early evening. I opened this document to write this morning and wrote these two sentences. o What did I do? o Guilt and second-guessing myself. I am not a stellar writer; I would like to say basic at best. My personality test tells me I am “real...
Finding balance when you want it all.
This is something I have been thinking about pretty often these days. I am trying to achieve a better “balance” in my life. It makes me think of the book and movie “Eat, Pray, Love.” She is always looking for balance but as the medicine man tell her its ebbs and...
A different approach…#1
I have decided to take a different approach to writing on medium and my blog. I am just going to write as if I am writing an email to a friend or myself. Here is #1 Hey- How are you? I am doing much better today. My weekend was good. I had more time to think than...
I don’t want kids. Stop judging me.
The top six things you should know from a woman who does not want children. 1. Just because I do not want to reproduce does not make me a freak. 2. Don’t ask me why, it’s really not your business. 3. No, I don’t hate kids, just because I don’t want one. 4. And no I am...
Don’t let people get you down. Stop giving a FU*K.
This is advice I keep telling myself. You have to not give a fuck. Look I am a people pleaser, I genuinely want everyone to be happy and if there is anything I can do to help people get there, I actually try. The holidays bring people together and there is nothing...
Start right now. Avoid REGRET.
This week an “on this day” popped up on my Facebook from six years ago…www.endosupport.blogspot.com. My old blog, just shy of 10 posts. I gave up, planned to take time off and never wrote again. I lacked dedication and patience. I still do at times now. I have not...
Ignorance is Bliss.
This idea has been expressed since ancient times. The actual wording comes from Thomas Grey's poem Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College" (1742): "Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise." I have always been a firm believer in this, I feel like today is a...
Writhing. In. pain.
That pretty much sums up my night. People who don’t understand what Endometriosis is cannot understand the pain associated with it. What the heck is Endometriosis? en·do·me·tri·o·sis ˌendōˌmētrēˈōsis/ noun a condition resulting from the appearance of endometrial...
People should be the priority. Always.
5 min read. I am so very guilty of not following this. We are all busy. I use that as an excuse all the time. I honestly am very busy you won’t catch me on the couch very often if ever. I am not telling you that to make you think I am so great, it’s because it's true...
Legacy, I want one.
Something is wrong with me. I am not sure what it is. I’ve had this overwhelming sadness over the past 2 days and almost an anxiety. Work has been crazy busy but that is not it. I think it’s the book I am listening too. Recommend by my trainer Mike Vacanti. I had just...
