Working out with Endometriosis can be a struggle sometimes :(

I woke up determined today to get back into a workout routine. I weighed in this morning at 206 lbs and I am determined to drop down to my weight I used to be at when I was a teen of 120 lbs in hopes it'll be easier to find clothes that fit and just to feel overall better plus I keep telling myself if I just lose a few pounds maybe it will even help with my fertility as well, a story I will share on another blog post a little bit later.


Anyway as I said I was determined to start my workout routine back up today I had my pre-workout drink to give myself some energy, my multivitamin, and my rhodiola supplement which seems to help a little with energy as well, and my mental focus (I'll have the link to my Amazon storefront listed at the end of this blog in case you want to see what I use and want to get you some as well). I threw on my workout clothes as soon as I got out of bed to help motivate me to get going, I always found staying in my pajamas all day just makes me more depressed, and continue to be lazy all day and not get things done. Are you that way too? 

I made myself something to eat before I decided to work out because I didn't want to make myself sick, I made 3 scrambled eggs topped with salt, pepper, and turmeric powder (which helps with inflammation), had a fruit cup and 2 slices of my raisin cinnamon gluten-free bread with some butter on top along with my pre-workout (which is not the main pre-workout I normally drink) just one I got in the mail from a friend for free so said why the heck not! 

I got on the stationary bike and made it to 10 min until my gut started acting up so took a short break and then went back to pedaling and made it to a 30 min workout. I felt great but immediately after I started to feel dizzy and very sick and now I'm dealing with pelvic pain. Unfortunately, that's what happens sometimes with Endometriosis!

I am sharing this on my blog to show just how hard things can be for people who deal with this condition. Even a simple workout can cause a flare or just make you feel like total garbage but I am determined to feel my best and lose this weight so I can feel better inside and outside and definitely have way more confidence. 




If you deal with Endo, don't give up on your goals no matter how hard it may be. Keep pushing even through the pain! Rest when you need to and can't push anymore but don't you give up! 💜

Last Night

I should have come on here and posted this last night but totally forgot to do so, so I'm on here now making this blog post. I created this blog because I wanted to raise awareness for Endometriosis, give resources, and share education along with sharing my own personal journey/experience with this condition. So that's why I'm sharing this post today.  Last night went pretty well when the pain came over me suddenly without warning, I was sitting on the couch watching a True Crime video on YouTube and doing some loom knitting which I hadn't done in months when all of a sudden I started to get pain at the same time on both sides of my pelvis that literally felt like someone took 2 knives and stabbed my pelvis continuously this pain lasted for probably 15 minutes and then went away. But my first thought was "Oh no, am I going to have a flare-up tonight?" It literally felt like I was going to have a flare, I will never forget what it felt like at the onset and I k...

Vagina Problems Chapter 4 by Lara Parker

You can find the book listed under my “Resources” tab, it’s listed on my Amazon storefront! This book is so good so far!! Even though I don't like the amount of curse words she uses, I can relate to her on so many levels. Wanted to share this part of the book and man can I agree on this, especially in regards to social media!  "If it isn't people reminding me that my pain could be worse, so I should just suck it up and stop being a sad, angry girl; or minimizing my pain and telling me it's making me stronger; it's people thinking they can fix me. Living with a chronic illness is really like, I think it would be this: You are just trying to live your life and do the best you can, but you are constantly bombarded with people who truly believe they know what is best for your body. They, the people who are not living in your body, think they understand it better than you...THE PERSON IN THE BODY. And even though you never asked them for help or communicated that you wo...
