Back To Reality

While I have so many thoughts reflecting back on the last 7 months (crazy!), I am checking in with this post now that radiation is done (yay!). I am back to work and back to reality and it is bittersweet.

I am feeling really good, for the most part. The hardest thing for me right now is staying on track with lifestyle changes. I admittedly have a sweet tooth and so cutting out sugar has been the hardest.

One of the things I was told could happen is insomnia. I recently started taking a 3rd medication, and at first I thought I didn’t feel nay different. And I don’t. But the one thing I did notice is that I am having a really hard time sleeping.

It is taking me a very long time to fall asleep; I’m tossing and turning. I am also sleeping very lightly, so I am waking up often. As a result, I have had very little energy to be working out like I should.

So with all that said, I am trying to figure out all of this while maintaining my sanity.

One thing I am grateful for is the timing. I finished radiation when my kids got out of school for the summer, and while they are in camp for 6-7 weeks of it, our schedule is much more relaxed so adjusting to being back to work has been easier.
