TOM

pbajwally

I'm curious to know if anyone of you experience difficulty during your TOM keeping up with the exercise and everything. My issues haven't been with food so much, but I realized this week starts my TOM and I haven't been able to shake this funk I'm in. I have been working out 3-4 times/week since the end of June and this week I just can't bring myself to do much. I'm so tired, even though I'm getting 6-7 hours of sleep at night. I WANT to get going but it's just not there. TOM is about the only thing I can think of that is different. Otherwise I feel fine. Whatever it is, I hope I can shake it soon. After working out (despite dreading actually DOING it) I feel SO good. Thanks in advance for any advice.

YES, definately! I make myself workout though and usually feel better after!

I go through this, too, but sometimes for longer because I have chronic fatigue syndrome (the longest span has been 12 days). Basically, you have to struggle through it... I use the experience that I feel better after a workout to try to motivate me. Sometimes I have to psych myself up to the workout. Others, I offer myself some kind of (nonfood) reward for getting it done. (Something like taking a bubble bath if it's daily or buying a new sports bra if I do it all by the end of the week. Nothing too expensive or big.)

Well I did some exercise for today but I wasn't as "into" it as usual. It also doesn't help that the scale is not moving! I went and read some forum topics on it & I'm assuming that 's also from TOM because I have been working hard! I've also started getting cravings for french fries made in a fryer at home (and I'm not even hungry.) I do hate TOM. Good Luck getting your exercise in.
