So I have a question for the other ladies on here.... Do you have less ambition to exercise during your monthy visit? I am having the hardest time getting motivated this week! I just have to know if I am just being a wimp or if others go through this! lol

    I do, too, but I find that once I'm there it gets my energy up and any cramps&other bad side effects almost vanish entirely.

    I actually have more. I read that the start of your period is the best day to start a diet, since you're body will be losing water weight that week. It kind of kick starts your diet.

    Yes...for some reason when the "mood" changes so can the motivation. However, this is the best time to exercise and consume more water.

    When aunt flo comes to visit I wish I could run and hide:happy: I make myself go to the gym and run, because in my silly little head I think I can run her away!!!

    No, I think it helps. It stops me from sitting on the couch just thinking about how crappy I feel. It gets me up and moving and then I usually feel so much better.

    Well I did get my rear up and did a turbo teabo workout for 30 min. That is all I can handle tonight! Time to hit the shower! Thanks ladies...I needed the sympathy and the kick in the rear! :wink:
