speaking of vows... for the ladies

One of my "vows" has ALWAYS been to keep up with my workouts 4-6 times a week. I always break this when my period starts. I just feel gross and nasty and lazy and achy... etc etc. Have any other ladies noticed this? Do you just push through it? I know sometimes exercise helps with cramps and I should just get my butt down there, but yuck, i just feel too nasty! Suggestions? Amy Lap RNY 10/22/03 349/235/185?

Hi Amy, the first day of my period I usually take a break from my exercise routine because of my pain. But then I force myself to get right back into it the next day. I just wear extra protection and shower like crazy afterwards. I don't like to break my routine because it is too easy to get lazy in this area for me. Blessings to you on your journey
