Catch Up Time
Well on one hand I wonder what I have to say yet maybe it's cause there's just lots of little stuff.
We're both doing fairly well. I've had a down slide in energy levels for abt 3 wks now. Prior to that I had started feeling so so normal. Life was really progressing forward so I'm not sure really whats changed. Maybe just an approaching winter dreariness settling in, who knows. I guess it's possible it could just be one of those lupus slumps too. I kind of miss the fairly new found energy level though cause I was really starting to accomplish things that one sort of has on a to do or wish list & thats slowed down again.
Hubby's doing fairly well. He's noticed that with his current series of hormone therapy shots he goes thru periods of a few more side affects then the last round. Nothing too serious though-it's just kind of the hot flashes, achiness & sometimes fatigue. But I'v reassured him that whatever he's going thru whenever that they key is just too listen to his body & shape the day accordingly.
I started my winter Zumba classes in September & somehow it's just not connectting right this time. I had 3 yrs with one instructor who was really dance oriented & it was the greatest time ever. The one we have now is more fitness oriented & I just so miss the dance aspect of it. So I might have to think abt backing away fr this for a bit & see where my heart leads me. The Wellness Institue where we go is having a 6 wk new experimental class in Jan. It's aqua zumba, described as low cardio to latin inspired tunes & it's a beach party not to miss. The water temp in their pool is comfy warm too. I'm really tempted I tell ya.
I so praise hubby for his dedication to staying as active as he can. There are days when he's just short of breath somehow & maybe not as strong but I always try & stress it's not what it's the fact that he's trying.
Oh yea, I've put a bit of weight back on so that's truly a good thing. I can notice a bit of difference for the good. I think I'm finally looking not so pale & gaunt.
Anywho I think thats abt it for now.
I so love all my friends who are taking time to stop & visit my life.
