Since I started working out on Friday, I've noticed a few things. I've had more energy, I'm sleeping better, I'm in a better mood and I've not noticed some stuff too.
You may be asking yourself, what does that mean?
Here is what that means: In the short amount of time since I've started working out and the small amount of time I put in (30 min a day 6 days a week) I've managed to do away with most of the symptoms of PMDD. For those of you who do not know what that is, it's an extreme version of PMS. The only "cure" for it is birth control pills and I happen to be allergic. So nearly every month I would get extreme hunger that caused binge eating, migraines, digestion issues, fatigue, mood swings, and flu like symptoms that includes a fever and body aches. I had 10 days of dealing with that before my period even started and that is a whole different issue on it's own.
This month however, I was surprised by my period. I had almost no symptoms. I craved chocolate over the weekend and had a mild headache 2 days before. That was it. That was all. I wasn't crawling into bed the day before with what felt like the flu. I wasn't eating so much the week before that my stomach would become hard to the touch, I didn't cry and then get angry at the drop of a hat and I wasn't falling asleep whenever I sat still. This is amazing to me. This makes getting up at 4:45 am completely worth it on it's own.
It's like my body is thanking me. I like that feeling. I'm going to keep that feeling going as long as I can. Weightless takes a back seat to this. Now, it's just a side effect and that my friends is something worth writing about.
