Periods and Personal Training

So I think that my 3 lb weight gain last week was related to my PMS. This week I am back to where I was at before. I always thought that you weigh more during your cycle not before, but my doc says that you start retaining water the week before as your body prepares for the trauma (cycle). Grand! so it's a two week head game. The older I get the worse the periods are.

Anyways I fought the urge to stay in bed this morning and went to the Y. I didn't want to but I felt better after a workout. I set up an appointment with one of the trainers finally to talk about this plateau I seem to have hit and adding strength training into my routine. I hear that lifting weights will help take off some inches. I do this already sometimes at home but thought why not get tips from a pro. At least I know I won't ditch out on it at the gym if I am already there. Home is just too easy to get distracted you know?

  1. Hey Molly! Periods are super tricky when you want to lose weight. It stinks being a girl sometimes! haha

    Glad your getting yourself to the Y and talking to a trainer they will definitely help you out with those last few pounds. I really want to get a membership to a gym. Never thought I would say this but I miss it haha. Keep up the good work Molly :)
