    My number one symptom of PMS is not out-of-control appetite or even cramps. It's out-of-control crankiness! I get irritated at everyone and everything and, quite honestly, that's when I need my gym time. So, I go hit the treadmill or lift some weights while giving all the muscle men the stink eye (you lookin' at MY squat rack?!?) and everyone is happier for it.

    about 2 days in advance I turn into a raging uber *kitten*. There isn't much to be done-I just try to crank down on self discipline and up the "fitler what you say dial" but since it's 2 days in advance- I usually am a little under prepared. I'm on seasoneque- which means I pretty much have to do some major *kitten* kissing apologies every 3 months when I lose my *kitten* on my boyfriend.

    But ultimately I'm required to continue to show up to work and to dance class- and my workout schedule pretty much fits in there nicely like a little lego block- so If I miss one it might throw me off- but if I go to work- odds are I'll be at the gym- like it or not.

    Just keep doing the things. no tips or tricks here.
