Today..was an "off day"

I am frustrated!! Things have been looking up for me lately. I have been feeling much more energizedand since I have been put on thyroid medicine I have resumed activities that were given up for upwards of 10 months like working out twice a week. Working out is a great outlet for me because I make every time a competition with myself to maintain or better my personal performance than the time before.

When I was able to do a lot last week I felt victorious like I was saying to the past year of my life "You can knock me down and challenge me, BUT you certainly didn't knock me out!"
The past few days have been different though..I have noticed the area of neck where the Cancer was the worst is swelling slightly, I don't have the complete energy I have had the past few weeks. Today for the first time in months I slept five hours of the day a way in a sound sleep when I am ususlly out and about!

This may be as sismple as increasing my dose of medication when I go see my doctor next month, but honestly I am fighting the monsterous "What if.." thoughts in my head.
I know those are the devil and no matter what God is working. Knowing that is comforting but I find myself asking if the rollercoaster I've been on lately might turn into a Straight-away for awhile.

Lastly,

I wanted to post here what an "off day" looks like for me in a workout and maybe when I look back I'll see it wasn't so off..
