Sounds good so far! Chewy, can't help you with the pre-menopause issue. My mother is turning 48 this year, and strangely enough has started having completely normal menstrual cycles and regular ovulation for the first time in her life.
I got my tests back for heart failure and my levels were slightly elevated but I am not, dying which is very good! Unfortunately, I get to continue to feel like I am dying. Basically my cardiologist said that there isn't much more he can do to treat the symptoms and to come back in September. Ugh--
I got my same two workouts in. One went really well and the other I really struggled with, but that is life I guess. Anyway, we found a solution to my cardio problem and it should be an improvement from here. Instead of getting sore I get muscle knots, but with a little tennis ball rolling they are improving. I am going to try my darndest to get a couple extra cardio sessions in this week.
Food wasn't the best for me this past week. Not sleeping enough makes me crave sugar and I can't go to bed until nearly midnight (because of a medication I am on) and then am being woken at 5:15, 6:30, and 7:30 when the people I live with are up and leave the house but I can't get out of bed until 8-- same medication.
Once again I am trying to ward off a cold. I think the couple I lived with have come down with it because there is sneezing and coughing and general "man-cold" grumpiness floating around. I really hope that they can fight it off before it becomes full blown though, because my immune system is so weak that I get anything anyone brings home. That is why I gave up roommates in college. I lived in an apartment with 4 girls and caught everything that each one of them (and their boyfriends) brought home. I had twelve viruses that year and I had each one from two weeks to a month. It really messed with my classes because I couldn't get out of bed for days each time without passing out.
