Weight Watch THIS!!
I got an early Christmas present from my dad, the body builder. I got a YMCA membership! Yay!! I used to have one back when we all lived in Monroe, but now I get my very own! Who’s a big girl now?! And no, I am not being literal…
That is right ladies and gentlemen. Cute Jessica will be coming back. I seem to be hidden beneath all the fat I gained from my last medication. But I think it will help A LOT going to the gym, burning off calories, and burning off stress…thats a big one.
One of the many symptoms of NCS, POTS, etc. is that we are exercise intolerant. (I’ll use that as an excuse for my weight gain too). I didn’t take a gym class in my middle school years because it was still too “dangerous” for me to do it. God knows what would have happened if I was made to play kick ball. It was okay though, because I got to be an art teacher’s assistant, and that was way cooler than having to be in gym class. I think its all about pacing yourself and knowing your limits. If you can’t run 50 laps around the gym, then don’t. Don’t push yourself too much, but how will you know if you can do it if you don’t try?
So, for all you sitting out from gym class for fear of being sick. I feel your pain. But, like I always say, it will get better.
