I am grateful for a regular period, but not so much for it ruining every single article of clothing I attempt to wear while I have it, or the fear of <i>bleeding</i> on the machines while at the gym! >_< Ugh. We never win do we!<br /><br />Christina: Thanks! If I do get back into it I might need you guys to tell me if its any good anymore!<br /><br />Physicallee Fit: I don't usually gain weight on my period, I usually shed it (but this has been a weird few weeks so we shall see). On my period I <i>have</i> to stop going to the gym or vigorously working out because of just how heavy it is. I'm trying to cut myself some mental slack here as I try to not kick my self over and over about not going to the gym when I am trying to get back on track!<br /><br />Retta: I have not seen her blog I think, though I'm going to have to take a look now if I get a chance. I need to post my quote up where I can see it too! It might chase away my <i>moody</i> blues...<br /><br />Ice Queen: Thank you so much! I cant even think about a hysterectomy right now! I want kids when all of this "actively" losing weight is over! But after? Yeah, I will totally be looking into how to get a lighter period as this one is pretty much a handicap!Scarlet Simplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10691018589978990577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2779148918176002629.post-84289654357217907802010-04-13T22:24:28.045-04:002010-04-13T22:24:28.045-04:00How fabulous to have that kind of progress in your...How fabulous to have that kind of progress in your measurements. How inspiring you are. <br /><br />Urgh! I hear you about your periods. I used to have nightmare periods, too. Turns out I had a medical condition and since my family was complete, I decided to have a total hysterectomy. Changed my life! That surgery was one of the best things I ever did for myself. A period never held me back, again. :DIce Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15044595481713357711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2779148918176002629.post-43255503954121399012010-04-13T14:48:44.691-04:002010-04-13T14:48:44.691-04:00Sounds like your week went excellent!
I really l...Sounds like your week went excellent!<br /><br /> I really liked this: "Life always happens so I guess to succeed we have to work with it, and not against it." I need to post that up where I can see it every day!<br /><br />Do you follow Mary Pax's blog? She's is a writer, used to have a wt loss oriented blog: Chronicles of Meps Reconstruction, and since focusing on her writing she started a new blog: Wistful Nebulae. (both in my blogroll)<br /><br />Anyway, she is soon to delete her wt loss blog, but she has some fabulous archives that talk about how the wt loss and the lessons learned there apply to her becoming an author. <br /><br />I could relate to so much of it. I especially recommend her lists of Favorite Posts, in her sidebar. There is much wisdom there about how the weight interfered with her writing, and how she changed that and went after her dreams. Good stuff!! I saved some to my computer since it will soon be gone.<br /><br />Loretta<br />=^..^=Rettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034267067410245582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2779148918176002629.post-78698962774612895442010-04-13T13:50:13.763-04:002010-04-13T13:50:13.763-04:00Make that (so normal that most WOMEN experience it...Make that (so normal that most WOMEN experience it). :)Member of the Justice Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14945949513386957849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2779148918176002629.post-37939035538961096242010-04-13T13:49:31.419-04:002010-04-13T13:49:31.419-04:00I have different plan for my cycle.

My body is changing and that takes energy. So I will not freak out no matter what the scale says.<br /><br />It's such a major change (that just because it's so normal that most people experience it); remember to cut yourself some slack.Member of the Justice Leaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14945949513386957849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2779148918176002629.post-33365015927953097152010-04-13T11:50:05.188-04:002010-04-13T11:50:05.188-04:00You are doing great!

I once wrote over 100 pages (highschool years) and decided I didn't like the subject anymore and deleted it. I know think it was fear of failure or may be even success. It's still my dream to write a novel. <br /><br />I still think about me writing in front of a large window with a beautiful view when I need to relax a little. That's my favorite image of me.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15240808913630997788noreply@blogger.com
