Yup!! its that time of the month... Yup! it sucks... at my age it doesn't seem to get any better. Then on top of that. I was sick with a stomach issue not sure what it is.
So, What did I do... Get on the Scale...Why? because I am an idiot!! I know that I should not get on the scale during this time. my weight increase about 3-5 pounds.. seriously!!! WTF!! Yes and I felt discouraged. I am not sure why I insist on torturing myself. So I decided to push as hard as I could Jan 27 is my month on this program of clean eating and trying to exercise consistently . I found this article of information That I hope will help me next month. I did finish my long run of 13 mile on Sunday.. The longest on yet.. prior to my stomach going haywire so I guess that's a good thing
What to eat while on your period:
To beat your sweet tooth, eat complex carbohydrates like pasta, rice,
beans, cereal and whole grains.
Vitamins A and D help you steer clear of pitfalls like acne and oily
skin. Good sources include cantaloupe, raw carrots, cooked sweet
potatoes, spinach, enriched milk and cereal.
Vitamin B6 helps relieve premenstrual cravings, fatigue, mood swings,
fluid retention and bloating. You can find it in fish, eggs, nuts,
bananas, potatoes, and the white meat of turkey and chicken.
Make premenstrual stress a thing of the past by eating broccoli, bell
peppers, Brussels sprouts, citrus fruits, cranberry juice and
cantaloupe, which are all rich in vitamin C.
