Before my HA diagnosis, I was of the mind that only Olympic gymnasts and marathoners stopped getting their period. So it came as such a shock to me that my exercising was possibly interfering with my cycles. I really don't feel like I exercise a lot-- 30 minutes of moderate weight lifting twice a week, and 45 minute walks, not even runs, three times a week. Also, making it to the gym is not a "must" for me. I try to go at lunch, but if I have plans, I would never wake up early to work out, or go after work. Not to toot my own horn (toot toot!) but I think I have a pretty healthy attitude about exercising.
Because of my tooth surgery and other engagements, I haven't been to the gym in a week. And you know what, I don't miss it. I think a large part of it is knowing that I don't have to stay slim, and in fact I should gain another 5-10 lbs. It feels good not to care, I gotta say.
