  • Hi Ladies,
    I am a new member and I'm in need of advice... My doctor says I need to workout at least 30 minutes every day (to balance insulin resistance and hormone imbalances). The problem is that I'm also just starting on a new birth control (3 weeks in) and have zero energy; it is almost painful to move. Does anyone have tips or pointers to overcome the fatigue? It seems ironic that the only thing to overcome fatigue is exercise, which I'm struggling with now!
    Monday, July 6: 30 minutes swimming
    Tuesday, July 7: 30 minutes Cardio/dance tape; 15 minutes weights
    Wednesday, July 8: nothing
    Thursday, july 9: 30 minutes kick boxing video; 15 minutes weights
  • you might benefit from taking the b/c at night if at all possible. It might be the progesterone in it making you sleepy?

    It looks like you are doing pretty well. You'd be suprised how nice a leisurely 30 min walk can be too.

  • Thanks Jennifer,
    I will do that. It may be the hormones for sure. I've never taken the pill before, so it has been an adjustment. I'm just afraid to loose momentum, but am keeping at it!

    omg, that is so sweet! I lost my dad when I was 26! Thanks for sharing that special moment!
  • rsb--let me know if that is better for you. If not, the doc may have to readjust your rx...you shouldn't be completely zapped of energy because of the pill. A little tired, but not ZAPPED.
