Half And Half

Day 10 of 20

35lb KB swings:
(x10, x15, x25, x50) 5x

Time 22:27

Almost a full minute slower than last night. Not too happy with that, however, I did just spend three and a half hours planting a vegetable garden. So maybe it's not too bad.
I'm halfway through this challenge. I haven't seen any weight loss. So let's discuss that for one moment. Back in February I went in for day surgery to have a cyst removed from my ovary. In the pre-op room the doctor came in and said they were going to take the whole ovary and tube. She said I wouldn't notice any difference in hormones and that hormone replacement therapy wouldn't be needed. Good. Cool. Fast forward to a couple of weeks after surgery - night sweats and hot flashes are out of control as well as mood swings. And weight gain - yeah. Great. I had put on weight over the past 5 years, probably about 25 pounds. But now I had an extra 10 hanging out on me. It just won't budge. I'll lose 5 and gain it back, lose 3 and gain it back. It's frustrating beyond belief because it's never been this difficult for me to lose weight. My eating habits could be better, but honestly, they haven't changed much over the past year or so and certainly haven't changed in the past few months to account for 10 more pounds. I'm going to tighten the food up even more and continue with this challenge and see if any of these pounds go away. I feel as though I have more energy and since starting a regime of training every day, the mood swings have even out and so have the hot flashes and night sweats. THANK THE GODS!!!! (night sweats suck ass). I'm hoping that with some more steadfast activity every day I'll finally gain a foothold on this weight. I don't like being this flabby. 
So anyhow, half way done and half way to go.
