I wasn’t going to post this, but what the hey…maybe someone else will have/had a similar experience.

My weight hasn’t been dropping the way it did when I began the project the first time. A while back I wondered if it was the creatine / water retention, but it’s defiantly not.

If you’re a guy……you may want to stop reading HERE


















Ok…..I haven’t had a period since the end on March & I’m having some serious pain in my lower back /stomach. No, I’m not pregnant, and have done 2 packs of 3 of the tests to confirm this. I’ve had problems with this before…dating back to Jan 2000 when I had 3 surgeries done. Than again in Nov 2004 I had 1 more surgery done. Anyway, not to get to long here, but I had a doctors appointment on Tues morning, and he thinks I have to go for a DNC.

So, off for an ultra sound today (Thurs). This was my first time getting this done, and though there’s nothing really to see, it was neat.
Ok, here’s where it ties into my training & journal…..I weigh 138 lbs right now (heaviest I have EVER been) & to be honest my pants feel like they are gonna blow. I haven’t messed up my diet (expect I had a nice dinner on Sat night), and my training has been ok. My poor tummy feels like something needs to explode from it…normally by Thursday I feel pretty darn good.
The nurse told me they would need to take some blood & that my doctor would be calling me.

First, I’m thinking oh shit….whats the point of training now? ….may has well wait till after all this bullshit is done. I figure if I write this in my journal, I will stick with things, and maybe not get as discouraged.

So, I’m going to be posting my weight, BF etc. I know this really isn’t a huge deal, but mentally it is for me. I hate not seeing changes. Anyway, STFU & train right?

Yesterday I went for a hysterosalpingogram (HSG). This is where dye is injected to see if there is any scar tissue or blockage in the fallopian tubes / pelvic area. This was not the comfortable thing in the world & I took the day off.

I have my diet written down, so I’ll post it when I get a little minute.

Anyway, the test determined that I do have scar tissue & adhesions in & around the fallopian tubes. Sounds pretty gross, but the dr said it’s a good thing to detect them earlier.

So, on June 16th I go for a DNC. He doesn’t know if this will correct the entire problem, so a couple weeks after I go back for another HSG, and if needed laparoscopy.

Hope your tummy is feeling better

Basically know what your dealing with, and the proper measures will be taken to correct or help the situation as best it can be ...

Thinking happy/positive thoughts...

Keep focused and that pretty little head occupied...

Whoa. Girl you are going thru some challenges. Its good you are finding out the source of the problems though. The last thing you need to feel bad about is your diet / training progress. Right now is when you need to explore the less tangible values of a diet & training program. As long as you aren't hurting yourself w/ the training, that sort of exertion kicks up the endorphins, keeps the blood flowing and generally keeps your body honed for the types of recovery work you could be looking at with any of this surgery or just the general stresses you are going thru now. Eating tight will keep you from fallign into the emotional eating which tends to just exacerbate things. Generally when you are doing everything right but not getting the results you expect your body is goign thru somethign that you haven't accounted for in your program.

... looks like you found it...

Definitely keep tracking things and of course let us know how you are doing and toss in a few cyber hugs every couple posts
