Day 6: free to run free

Hey there! I didn't mean to get too down with that last post, it takes me a day to get over something like that usually, and its been at least 30 hours, I'm a tough girl :)

I went to bed last night pretty frustrated, I didnt want to put on a clothie, just a goodnite girls sleepshort, which aren't terribly good, but I like the feeling of them when there wet and they are easy to put on if you don't want to really get into baby-space. I woke up dry, and I did something that I don't do often enough, but for my own reasons... I worked out.

Let's back up a second. I finally set-up a Dr's appointment for Friday the 11th. I'll be getting blood test results and hopefully Progesterone, a testosterone blocker, generally called Spiro, the next step in my Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). If you're just tuning in, I've been on Estrogen since July 15th 2009, a   relatively low dose, but I've definitely experienced some changes. If you're completely new to this whole HRT thing, here's the quick Dr. Grant from Jurassic Park explanation... Men have lots of T and women have lots of E... I naturally pump out T and have been taking E, Spiro blocks T, so I just get E, and my body starts doing all the lovely things that happens to a growing girl, a laundry list of changes that will make me more physically and in ways mentally female, including fat redistribution, less body hair, skin becomes softer, I could go on for days. Check here for more detailed descriptions of the effects, I'm sure I'll go into them in detail in the future, first-hand. It's also a diuretic, and has been known to be a mean one.. luckily I'm diapered 24/7 :)

I'm SUUUUPER excited! This is going to be the next most awesome step in my life, and will make my transition that much more significant, i'll be taking 3 pills a day. One of the things that I'm most excited about is finally starting a more serious fitness regimine. I generally ride my bike or run most mornings to burn of any Peanut Butter Twix Bars I may have consumed the night before. It's never been serious, serious enough to keep thin but not really fit, I don't do it all the time and for a pretty good reason. I'm so skinny that if I started working out today I could get ripped really quickly, something I don't want to do, I like flexibility and speed, not mass. Once I start the more hardcore hormone therapy, my bodies going to react differently to exercise. Ideally, I'll stay lean and wont bulk up if stick with cardio and stretches/pilates and my hormone regime. I've found some videos online, flirty girl fitness and some beginner yoga stuff, I'm new to doing this in any sort of organized manner, so we'll be learning together!

I'll be talking more about my fitness plan, and how to deal with diapers for the active individual, Its been a pretty uneventful day for diapers, I've worn maybe 4 Tenas all day, I've had a lot on my mind and the diapers are just a constant... Other than a little rash worries, its all been very, very good :)
