40 days to Fit~ Day 29…Wild thoughts!
Posted by buffmother in Family, Goal Setting (POA), hormonal timing, kids, rally room on August 17th, 2009
I’ve been dealing with some wild thoughts the past 2 days…what if I was pregnant? My DH got “fixed” about 5 years ago and I’ve had consitent 27-28 day long cycles for the past couple of years,but today is day 30! I welcome the longer cycle, and back before kids I had a LONG cycle 36 days sometimes…so~ it is not completely weird for my body. Having a longer cycle is much more possible than me being pregnant… BUT STILL~!! Wild thoughts will always arise when hormonal cycles run a bit long and possible pregnancy is involved! I think almost every woman knows that WILD feeling! LOL!!
Other than that~ I had a great long weekend the kids had Friday off of school….Travis took Gunner out to the woods and Gunner got to shoot an armadillo~ AND I took the girls to the mall and out for pizza and then we watched movies. Saturday Gunner when to his best friend’s house and Travis, I and the girls played tennis! It was fun and the first time Travis has played in about 15 years! He was just rusty enough to keep it fun for me, lol!
Then yesterday we just “hung out”…I did some housework and got in a leg workout at the gym.
It was GOOD~ now I’ve been making a really good “to do” list and getting things DONE!!
My POA for workouts: is to do “something” everyday this week….I just need to fit in what I can. This week I am not planning the “days” out…I am just setting GOALS- The goal is to get in at least the following- 2 runs outside; 2 other interval sessions; 2 Leg workouts; 2 upper body workouts~ and ABS daily! So 2-2-2-2 
Be sure to set your goals!!
AND settle for nothing short of accomplishing them!!! YOU CAN DO IT!
Your friend,
Michelle
What makes a woman Special?

What makes a woman Special?
Women are special creatures- we are different than men and that difference must be taken into consideration in our training and nutritional programs.
What is it that makes women special?
- The obvious physical characteristics J
- Our monthly hormonal cycles
At different times over the past couple years, I noticed myself having extreme mood changes, symptoms of depression, complete physical exhaustion and total lack of motivation. After realizing that these symptoms came at the same time each month, I finally connected my symptoms to PMS. My PMS was negatively impacting every aspect of my life for about 2 weeks of every month! As I researched the subject I found that many women, as they have children and enter into their 30’s, have more PMS symptoms. Up to 85% of women suffer some of the 150 symptoms called PMS.
What caused my PMS? I am very healthy and fit, so why was I suffering so badly? My knowledge of nutrition led me to a possible nutrient deficiency. I started simple supplementation of key “hormonal support” nutrients including: B-6, magnesium, calcium, vitamin E and B-12.
Three months into my faithful supplementation I had my first symptom free cycle!!
Every female needs to realize the important role that vitamins and minerals play in supporting our natural hormonal cycle. Regardless of weather or not you suffer negatively from PMS, the female hormonal cycle affects every woman. As the mother of 3 young girls, I believe that from birth there is a “time of the month” for every female.
If you do suffer PMS, there is hope…before turning to an antidepressant or taking the pill for relief, please try the following supplements:
Vitamin B6*:
100mg per day
Vitamin E:
400-600 IU per day
Calcium:
1,500 mg per day
Magnesium:
800 mg per day
Fatty Acids( like fish oil or flax seed oil):
2-4 gms per day
Or you can benefit by taking one of the my great Hormonal Timing Pill supplements
Remember YOU are in control of your body, life and legacy.
