PMS hits full force but 3 1/2 hour workout combo will knock it off it’s feet
It’s been such an emotional week. I had a few highs but for the most part I’m battling all the emotional baggage that comes with being a woman and dealing with PMS. I can’t get my eating under control. Yesterday I was doing so goooooooooood that is, until I got home. I had some Asian chicken and veggie soup with rice, very healthy. But I couldn’t stop eating. 9pm rolls around and I ate fish and rice tiny portion and 1/2 a bag of sunflower seed. Then I got up around midnight and ate 2 servings of chips. I wasn’t hungry at midnight but the urge to open the bag and eat it was there. I did it mindlessly; as soon as I was done I knocked out till morning. I’m disappointed with the lack of self control.
Despite it being my workout off day, I went to the gym and did 45 min. of kickboxing. I didn’t like the instructor so I cut it short, stretched and went to pick up my boyfriend from school.
I’m so bloated. I can feel it in the way my clothes fit. I feel heavy. Ahhhhhh! 
Today is going to be a long one. Since I’m dropping my honey off early for school I will get in about 3 to almost 4 hours at the gym. I have 1 hour of strength training in my Lift class, 1 hour of my own circuit training regimen with interval training and cardio bursts, 1 hr of Pilates and 1/2 hour of yoga to stretch my aching muscles.
Also switching up my food - high protein day with lots of vegetables and good carbs.
I just want this PMS episode to pass so I can be me again. 
i wish i had that determination…im just so bored. you are tha bomb
Hey Melinda - are you bored with your workout?
I do not like that time of the month either. Hang in there. You’ll make it one day at a time.
You are kicking TOM’s ass my dear! You aren’t letting him keep you down. Keep it up
Oh man..I can so relate…my last pms time..I ate and ate..dont know what in the world that was about..I ended up gaining a pound..but thats ok..figured it would be 3 lol.
Hang in there girl…man, you sure rock the exercise dont you…if i tried working out like you…i would be laying on the floor..arms spread ..begging for mercy lol. Like…just shoot me now cause I cant get up lol.
Try to have a good day anyway..despite the pms.
Love Debbie
Thank you beautiful ladies - Deb and Anj! I’m starting to feel a lot better. Why is it I want to cry and laugh at the same time?????? Ahhh, hating PMS but you guys are pulling me through.
I get my best runs in when I have my period. Weird, huh?
I always go up 2 lbs when the witch comes, and then promptly back down after…
Hi Courtney - I love working out when I’m on my cycle too. I agree with you, I get some of my best workouts in around that “period”.
I’m not going to jump on that scale - just too depressing.
I’ve been going through the PMS crap here this week too. TOM showed his ugly face today though, so even though it sucks right now, I’ll be free of it all in a few days! Hopefully in time for my next weigh in lol.
I’m right there with ya with the PMS. TOM will be here just in time for my class reunion on Saturday…oh well! LOL Debbie
I so admire you! Love that determination!
You are so inspiring! Your determination is what has you looking so good and probably feeling great when TOM is not around!!
You are amazing. Way to go! Don’t ever give up.
I am having the same problem this week on top of being sick! PMS stinks and when your sick and lazy it’s so easy to just pop in a frozen pizza and eat it or order take out cuz you don’t want to cook dinner! So yesterday was bad for me with the eating. I’m just so happy to see how determined you are to not let that weigh you down and start right back up with exercising! I can’t wait till next week…I’ll be exercising 3 days a week! Woohoo! Keep up the awesome work Nancy, you ROCK!
