    Getting Out of the Rut - Monday

    Hi gang!! I had a doctor's appointment this morning so I only had time to do Jules Benson's Total Core Pilates. I'm not sure if the thyroid medicine is working or not because I still have little energy and have to force myself to do things. The pharmacist says it takes about 4 to 6 weeks...
