This morning I woke up in a foul mood. First off, I didn’t sleep well and am fighting a cold, and secondly, I’m transitioning over to PMS. God, I hate this week. I’m eating shittier,therefore feeling chubby, sleeping less, having obsessive negative thoughts, and don’t feel as strong exercising. I get so caught up in these feeling and this mood that it is hard to remember that I will feel better in about a week our so. It’s unfortunate that I’m in my “bad” half of the month as I am just starting this blog. You probably think I am negative and complain all of the time. However, durning my “good” time of the month, I’m usually pretty cheery and enjoy my life. Basically, I need to remind myself that I am in good health and am lucky to have my own two feet to stand on.
Ever since my forties, things are changing. My physiology is not what it used to be. My periods are sporadic, my sex drive is all over the place,I’m not sleeping well, my mind doesn’t feel as sharp, I’m hot all of the time, and suddenly my stomach is ultra sensitive. I used to have a stomach of steel! I believe this is all due to peri menopause. What the heck, no one told me about this pre menopause crap! Well anyway, I was recommended a very inspiring and informative book on how women athletes can move along a bit more smoothly in this stage of life.
