PMS and guilt of not working out.
For the past few days i haven't worked out and ithas made me feel very depressed. My uterus is telling me one thing and my heart is telling me another. I try to lift weights or walk on my treadmill and i just can't do it.
Yesterday I woke up with such bad cramps that I wanted to lay in bed all day and sleep. My kids had other plans, so i peeled myself out of my bed and did my daily routine. I was tired, nausea, crampy and a little bit of diarrhea. I planted myself in my recliner and watch my bad tv. I did stick to my 1400 RDI.I didn't even crave anything salty. At dinner I did have a Hershey bar at dinner.
The question is... why do we feel bad when our monthly visitor comes and our body tells us to slow down and take it easy? I instantly feel as if I am going to gain all my weight back in a day or two. I have realized that will be my biggest worry when i reach my goal weight... telling my brain that I am not going to be back to 268.
Right now my instinct is to put my shoes on and get on my treadmill, but my uterus is saying.. NOOOOOOO lady.. you keep your butt on that recliner and watch Sex and The City for a few more hours.
So the verdict..... taking a few days off isn't going to throw me off, but if I can stretch.. do a few light weights... and try not to throw myself into junk food. It is a success!!

I understand how you feel. I get really bad cramps and heavy flow the first two days or so. If you really are in pain, I would take the day off, but not the week. I have found that on days that I really don't feel like doing a workout, if I do it anyway, I feel great. Once I start moving, I get this burst of energy and I find that I can do more than I thought. Just plan on being uncomfortable for 20 minutes and do some exercise. You will be glad you did. I hope you start feeling better!
