    And there I thought you were such a gentle soul cradling those "things" you were 'conserving' up thread :wink:
    This was so violent it should be against the TOS... and definitely not suitable for young impressionable children!

    Tofu deserves to die. Unless it's deep fried and smothered in peanut sauce.

    So those who have been in here since way back might remember the discussion about female cycles and higher resting heart rates during certain periods.

    Fair warning, tap out now if TMI around women’s bodily functions makes you squeamish.



    So, today is first day of BC break week and for those who care at all about my cycle tracking know about my bi monthly pattern. This cycle is a month that since my new psych meds seem to make an interaction that causes early spotting. And I just looked back, for the last five days my restin heart rate has been a few beats higher right in line with when the spotting started.

    Just an interesting observation! I should probably go full geek and start tracking workouts. Beyond last week being my completely stop functioning fatigue week.

    I am of course jealous. As I struggle with inevitable SAD on top of normal bipolar related depression. GIVE ME LONG DAYS AND SUNSHINE DAMMIT.

    Yeah, that then turned into trying on of more tiny things instead of going to bed! Yay for my clothes hoarding tendencies.

    I don’t really have any small clothes other than those I have bought speculatively recently. Last time I was close to this small it was my teens in the 90s. I would 100% not be wearing anything I thought was stylish back then.

    Ha, I actually have quite a few things from late teens/early 20s, but vintage/goth/indie child. Some was bought as vintage, some was new way back then (and now conveniently qualifies as vintage). I was actually exceedingly grateful that I'd held onto a couple of my babydoll dresses the summer of starting MFP, because they were in a small minority of height of summer things that fitted (which also tells you how big I used to wear things, hiding my not remotely fat but thought it was body :\, though also partly the style).

    I'm wondering if I still have my beloved purple jeans, though I have no ambition of ever fitting those again, given there was 6kg less of me when I got those. You've seen me, another 6kg off really wouldn't be a good look.

    Interesting. I seem to have around 10-20 beats difference. I think I am in early transition to Peri and it will be interesting to see if this changes. I will have to monitor this for the next few months. I did notice that when I had a month where I skipped I still had the same peak and fall in heart rate despite not getting my period. The peak usually happens around the first day of menstruation.

    Yeah, I have about a 15 beat variation. Peaks at ovulation and start of TOM, but also anytime I've got a decent amount of fluid retention going on. And anytime I'm really angsty.

    I'm about 5-7 beats, usually low 60s average low last few days is 70. And when I sync I can see it is often flitting around the low 70s. I'll see when it drops off as technically I should menstruate this week but because of psych meds vs BC I think it may have already happened due to whatever peculiarity is happening.

    I don't know if it's still too early to gauge,as I've only had my fitbit HRM (charge2) for 2.5 weeks. But my monthlies are due in 3 days, and my Resting heartrate has gone from averaging 63 bpm up to 68 over the past 2 days.

    I wonder if you ladies correlate that with water retention and weight gain. I've noticed that my Fitbit resting HR lows and highs tend to correspond fairly closely with individual weigh ins and whether they are "local highs" or "local lows" relative to adjacent measurements.
