Wednesday, 04/09/2008: Turbo Kickboxing: 45 minutes. Did leg stretching at end.

Saturday, 04/12/2008: NIA & THE BODY’S CORE: Move and energize your core. 3-Hour Nia teaching intensive. The core moves energized for healing, dancing, and martial arts.

I woke up with cramps and some blood. Took 2 Advil, then one more 45 minutes later (because it wasn’t working fast enough). Started to cry before leaving the house and cried all the way to the workshop. Got hugs and sympathy when I go there. Wasn’t sure if I was going to stay.

After 1st hour, Advil seemed to start to take the edge off pain. During 1st break, a fellow attendee came and did a 10-minute energy healing over me. I’d never had one. And I was surprised that it felt as if she had laid a heating pad across my belly.

During break before 2nd hour, took 2 more Advil and then began to fully enjoy session. At the end, our teacher said I was smiling like the Tracey she knew. Went out into the glorious sunshine.

Had to get cleaned up quickly for a luncheon with my husband’s co-workers. Had mac & cheese and chicken (pretty good, but not as good as mine).

Came home and went to sleep for 5 hours and missed the rest of the sunshine. Thought about doing my next NROL4W workout but went back to bed at 5 a.m.

Appears that I have had an episode of breakthrough bleeding. This is the first occurrence with this type of pain.
