Step by Step... Ooohhhh Baby!

I forgot to mention I'm stepping down again. I should've stepped down 2 weeks ago by 5 mg of my steroids, BUT, I had my holiday and my nurse agreed I might want to put that off for a minute. So, I'm stepping down this week by 2.5 mg.

So, I gave myself one day to recover from the holiday and I stepped down on Monday (my last day off from work). It sucked. It sucks. It's not a good feeling. Tuesday was the worst, slept most of the day.

And to top it all off, that "family type of drama" is still ongoing. One issue is sort of resolved though. Or, I've resigned to the fact that it won't be getting any better, so I'm going to leave that alone and try and get over it.

The point is... Life is a challenge right now and I am still being that strong, determined woman my mama raised and that is what's up!!! It's tough, but I'm so determined to stand up and fight. Never give up. Challenges build character.

I went to the gym yesterday - my first and only session since getting back from my holiday on Sunday. It was kind of tough, but mainly due to medical issues I must say. The numbness and paraesthesia in my leg is ridiculous and it makes me feel a bit "unsure" when exercising, so I never really get to full confidence. Anyway, despite this, the only thing I cut from my programme was the 5 minute cool down on the rowing machine. But, I ended up walking part of the way home anyway, so I got my cool down after all.

My eating habits have been pretty smart. I'm proud of my decisions, but I know I'm not back to "full strength" in that department.

I'm off to London this Saturday for a girly weekend, which will be cool, and then the hubby promises to start our swim and steam routine on Monday morning. I love having plans. I love feeling so clear headed and determined! Go me!
