I really do not want to put down how this session went.

Saturday I learned a lady wanted to train with me. My trainer told me THAT DAY she was coming. So, I thought, "ah, she can't be that bad if my pt is hooking her up with me!" Not that I'm the best or anything. There are just dif. levels when training people and, I'm no beginner.

Anyway, the lady finally shows. This lady was dragging her feet way too much, which was costing me extra time for rest. Which, for me IMO, is a big NO NO. You rest 1 min (depending on the work out) and start your next set. No whimpering or whining about it. HIT IT!!! OMG, talk about someone who needsNOT to be in a group like training session with someone who takes weight training seriously.

I was very tolerant though. A big waste of time for me and my purpose of going to the gym. I hardly got the burn I needed or was looking forward to.

Saturdays training was well, Kinda like a relaxed training day

Tonights session is going to be kick ass cause the gal I usually train with knows to get the hell out of my way. When my resting time is up.......EITHER HAVE YOUR SET DONE or GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY. This lady understands. She understands my goal and it's not like we're meeting for the first time.

Tonights session will be posted tomorrow.

GOSH DAMN BABS.. I LOVE THIS POST. DAMN GIRL YOUR ATTITUDE!!! THAT: KICK ASS OR BE SQUASHED ATTITUDE GIVES ME A WOODY. GIRL WE GOTTA TRAIN TOGETHER SOMETIME SERIOUSLY.

Thanks Firestorm

Okay. I'm writing to let everyone know I will not be competing this year and I'm out of the IM Competition.

Sorry J'Bo, this means I won't be doing any photo shoots with you girl.

Monday Feb 9th, I was diagnosed with Severe Endometriosis and it has spread to my colon. On the 24th of Feb, I meet with my doctor to go over my options. With surgeries,etc...I'm going to need time to heal properly. I will still visit my journals, lend an ear and piece of advice, etc....HOwever there will be no gym time or supps for quite a while.


Thank you all for your support along the way.


Best of luck to you all

I'm sure this will bring you small comfort right now...but try to think of it this way....First you have to get yourself well for you and for your family. THEN we can all only imagine your come back. You'll be back in that gym training like a mad woman (that's a good thing!) Nothing's over Babsie. You just have a longer than planned time off.

Don't be a stranger.

hey babs!
Damn! You take care of yourself! Like NG said, get past this, get better and take care of you and yours...all things will fall into place and you will be fine!

Best of luck back back to you!

Thanks Everyone.

I know this is going to be a hard journey for me. It's just so depressing not being able to do the things you love, even if it's only temporary.

Today, I feel MUCH better. There's still some discomfort but not nearly as bad as last week. I think yesterday I felt 70% better. The more I twist in my chair at work, the more the cramps start to come back. So, no more twisting for me today and for a while. I'm not NEARLY as tired anymore and I don't easily wear out. I'm getting to be more and more alert plus, my energy is coming back. The appetite is not back yet. I think a lot of that has to deal with feeling sad. ALTHOUGH, I'm not as sad this week as I was last. This sure takes some time getting use to.


OMG -- I know this isn't as exciting for you all as it was for me. But, FRIDAY I WAS ALLOWED TO SHOWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, it was like heaven. Took a while washing everything because I had to be careful of my incisions. I was sooooooooo nervous when my hubby took the bandages off. I thought my tummy was going to look a fright. It's bruised with 3 incisions. One on the right and left of my belly button and another just below the hair line.

Also, I think I'm going to not try to have anymore children (sad I know) and go ahead with the hysterectomy. My children need their mommy more than they need their mommy to bring another being into this world. Plus, once I have the hysterctomy, my family and I will be set free. Since I was 13, Endometriosis has taken over my life and my "family making" decisions. 14 years of pain, etc..........is enough and I'm ready to lead a normal life.

Me too. Didn't think I'd ever snap out of it. I almost teared up this morning but I stayed strong. Took a deep breath and said, "It's going to be okay!" Then I thought of something else............."I have friends who care and will be there to listen if I need them........................I have IMers who are like family to me!" "I have support!"

Oh you have nooooooooooo idea what that shower meant....I was breaking my neck and back hanging over the tub to wash my hair..........Sitting on the edge of the tub to wash my legs, etc.................The real treat is going to be....................Jaccuzi BABAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
