A funny thing about losing all the weight and becoming healthy and active was when my hormones went back into normal balance and started operating as they were meant to.... Suddenly I started noticing those lovely monthly signals of PMS and yes - I would become irritated, and frustrated with trivial things, and moments of self doubt would creep in... It was my running joke that I lose the weight and start a better life journey and in return God/Fate whomever blesses me with PMS.....
In the past when it was "that time" I would sometimes avoid working out - using various excuses why it was best not to... Or I would force myself into my spandex gear, start a workout and give up within 10-15 minutes....
But this morning that neuron snapped.... I'm in the pool at training, we're just at the beginning drills and I've decided our coach is trying to definitely kill us... But there's no way I'm wimping out... Not with all these people.... Then we get into the main set - 6x200 alternate swim and pull buoy progressively faster 200's... And there I am feeling bloated and like a really slow whale in the pool... But - instead of giving up when the thought crossed my mind and the excuses started formulating, I made a deal with myself... Stay in the pool, do the entire set but use the swim paddles to kick it up a notch! Before I knew it I'd completed the set and went on to swim another 200m with the extra time....
Not a major earth shattering event but one more nugget found on the journey!!!!
Thanks for clearing that up! I was wondering why you were such a b*... Bwahahahaha, love you postings: honest, thoughtfull and witty!
