Happy Week

... or not so happy week, Liverpool are playing at home, I'm on the rag..... after a week of raging PMT and mad behavior.... the dreaded red finally arrived ... I am now two days in....

I have wanted to eat more this month then last month..I dont know why... but I haven't....

I feel that the weight I have lost already has already had an affect on my period. This month albeit two days late, it doesn't seem as painful, as spiteful, as mean and and touch wood I haven't wanted to puke up.

As with pmt week, I am trying to maintain my food as per normal and also with the exercise... it was scaled down to a low impact 30 min walk on the treadmill last night and followed today by a 45 mins dancing session.

I figure if I am going to sit and listen to music I like I might as well get up and shift my booty around the bed room at the same time.... although I am still worried about agitating my monthlies to turn demonic by too much jumping up and down I am determined that my monthly cycle will not stop me from attempting to burn some more calories - which I need to do.

For years I used these two weeks - PMT week and Red week as an excuse to EAT... And whilst it is proven that you eat more during this time - it is all about control.. it is also about recognising the symptoms of this terrible condition (lol) early enough to identify why you feel so hungry...and to also make a healthier decision about what you are going to put into your mouth if anything

I feel quite sad for all the times I have let this win, let allow myself to consume food , laze about and feel sorry for myself... and whilst I'm sure I will always have bad periods and bad PMT the fact is I am no longer willing to let it rule my life, stomach or my weight any more and I hope that by making healthier changes to my life this will improve my painful periods in the future.
