Its My Ovaries, Stupid! & surgery

It's My Ovaries, Stupid! is an incredibly insightful and life-changing book by Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet. I have a feeling by the time I finish it things will be easier for me. I'm still hormonal and wacky. Its been really tough to not kill someone on some days. Other days I am sweet as sugar and fun to be around. Then I plummet back down to dark depths of hell and give the devil a run for his evil money. Anyway. I HIGHLY recommend this book for any woman. Its answered A LOT of questions so far and I feel like things aren't "just in my head". This just further backs up the importance of a healthy diet and exercise. There is a wealth of information. Check out the link. I think its worth the investment (which is lass than $15!)


I had a follow up appointment about my foot surgery. Looks like I am going for it. I won't be having it done until January or February- still deciding on a date. Its going to put me on my duff for 8 weeks and then I can walk again. I'll be in an aircast for another 3 weeks. So guess who will be killing upper body workouts in the spring. Its going to push the April comp off. Kinda bummed about that. :( I just don't know how much longer I can really wait. I'm in constant pain now. I am going to hit the next 10-12 weeks as hard as I can. TONS of cardio and LBWO. UBWO's and abs too of course, but I think I am going to work in legs 2x per week. I need all the help and work I can get before I am immobile. :( The good side is that I will be worked on by a top notch surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic. I am hoping that by getting in the best health I can be in before surgery will help my down time. Its possible to heal in 6 weeks instead of 8 and get down to 2 weeks in the aircast. Best case 8 weeks, worst 12-14 weeks. If I do the surgery early enough, I can get to the Arnold afterall. I'll be on crutches, but I'll get to go...

Time to go back to fall cleaning... and it is snowing, btw...
