PMS Is A B*tch

PMS has reared it's ugly head this week, I really think it's added a few heads as well. I must have been extremely vulnerable or weak for it to have taken as much of a toll as it has.
I've cried, I've been craving coke (as in the drink, not the drug) and all things "bad" (anything friend basically), I want to crawl into bed for a week and be left alone. I am ready to finish accessorising my house and I'm pissy it's not finished, I don't want to go workout but I want to lose weight, I am becoming obsessed with what I am eating to the point it's making me actually feel crazy and overwhelmed.

I cannot concentrate at work because I don't want to do anything that I should be doing.

And I am reconsidering my thought of running a 5K, not because I don't think I can do it because I am confident I can. It's the fact that thanks to birthing two children every time I run over 4.8 miles an hour I pee my pants. And I've done the kegels. I do them all the time. So I'll see how it goes over the next few weeks and how much I pee. I don't really want to run in public with pee running down my leg. I am motivated to lose weight not have an incontinence issue in public. And I'm not running in Depends, unless they make running shorts these days and I haven't seen those yet. Sorry I'm sure that's more info about me then you wanted to know.

Me and PMS we don't get along. I don't like it and want to kick its ass.

I do feel better now that I've vented a bit. Hopefully next month the work out endorphins will help me ward off the grips of the PMS monster!

Okay so I am sorry you are having such a bad time with PMS, but that whole pee paragraph was pretty darn funny.
The more you obsess about being on a diet and eating certain food the worst it is going to be. If you look at it from a 'I just want to be healhty standpoint' it may be easier.
Have some chocolate for cying out loud, for peeing your pants you deserve it

Oh Lord - I'm right there with you on the whole pee thing. It does get better but when I first started - good grief. I wear regular thick pads and make sure my bladder is as empty as I can get it right before I run. I've told my trainer that I WILL NOT do any jumping exercises for that precise reason. Kids and vaginal births are grand.
