General update

I am beginning to think that I was overmedicating with the Progesterone Cream. I noticed positive effects in my skin and the decline of "lost eyebrows" (chin and lip hairs), but my cysts seemed to have been getting worse. I forgot a day or two, and noticed that the cysts improved, so I've begun medicating only in the morning & seeing how it goes. So far, it's working for me.

I am noticing a change in my cycle as I'm starting to think about eating chocolate. For those of you who know me well, you know this is a major change. Hmmm. Maybe my chocolate "problem" has been hormonal!!

I've also been keeping to a fairly consistent exercise routine, comprised of Pilates exercises, free weights, walking, and stair climbing (in a stairwell). I cannot describe how wonderful Pilates is for me. I'm taking it a little at a time, doing my best to maintain and progress as my body is ready, and that approach is working wonders. I'm building my core as I can, and keeping it as strong as I can. I didn't do my exercises since last Friday, and I could really feel it today. I wanted to do them today. Isn't that cool?

It is great that I'm past the halfway mark, so I'm getting used to being 39 instead of 29 or 19 or even 26. It's nice. Some days are easier re: the grey hair, but as a friend recently brought to my attention, it keeps you humble.

Beauty and Light Always.
