Also, is it true that women feed of the vibes of other women in their house and they all get their periods at once? like, my mom, my sister and i used to get our periods around the same time, now my one sister left for college but my mom and i are still pretty synced. she says she and her dorm friends are like almost all the same…
if thats true, its cruel..if you have 50 girls all in the throes of mood swings…oi i dont even want to think about it…

[QUOTE] learned long ago that it worked better for me to just go with my craving, have a small serving of whatever it is, and then I’d be fine. If I’m craving chocolate, for example, and I try to be good and not eat it, I wind up eating the equivalent of three times the calories in other ’substitute’ foods. It’s better to just eat it and get it over with. If I just have to have chocolate, I’ll buy a small truffle or something called an “Ice Cube,” which is a little chocolate cube. Eat it, savor it, and move on. Now, this is my all-time trick. Call me crazy but it works. When I am craving something sweet, not necessarily during my period, I eat a cold kosher dill pickle. I keep a jar of the smaller size in the fridge for this reason. The colder and crisper the better. That sour dill taste absolutely kills any sugar craving and I go on with my day. Is it the healthiest? Probably not, but if it keeps me from downing a bag of cookies in a moment of weakness, I’m all over it.[QUOTE/]

works for me too!! i have been having really weird cravings lately..and im right in the middle of a ‘dry spell’ TOM usually visits on the 20th so..idk why im suddenly ready to kill my sister for her potato chips, and knock my mom out when she eats the last bagel…these are not even my normal cravings! it’s weird. but i recently fell in love. i think maybe im having weird emotional/hormonal stuff because of the way this one special guy, Alex, makes me feel…
great site, miz! you make me laugh!! i loved the *crickets chirping* bit. LMAO! and also the oreos chanting your name. yours do that TOO?!? and i thought i was crazy lol. apparently they learn that they should incessantly call out the names of PMSing women and girls in ‘How to be the best Oreo you can be 101′

Your posts are always so timely for me. Thank you!

I tried replying to your email but it bounced back undeliverable. I’m doing fine. Started a new job and started training again.

When I crave sweet chocolate or cookies, it is the same as what you said above: I have ben eating too many processed carbs or sugars during the day, BUT usually I crave dark chocolate, of a good quality, I’m a bit of a chocolate snop (Switzerland what can I say ;P ) and strangely enough, red thai veggie curry. Love that stuff pre period. Donno why haha

I really like the concept of active recovery. For example today…didn’t get a 25 mile bike ride in as planned so went to an easy water aerobics class.

About craving chocolate, a woman I worked with a long time ago said that when you want chocolate eat cinnamon instead. It works but I don’t see the harm in a little chocolate now & then. Live life. I also think taking magnesium helps with cravings.

I don’t get PMS. There’s no “pre-” for me. The day my period starts, I want chocolate, and I want it now. Fortunately, my period and the cravings only last a few days. I learned long ago that it worked better for me to just go with my craving, have a small serving of whatever it is, and then I’d be fine. If I’m craving chocolate, for example, and I try to be good and not eat it, I wind up eating the equivalent of three times the calories in other ‘substitute’ foods.

My hormones are about the only things that don’t give me cravings. I’m so lucky! And those are some interesting food combinations there.

er, guess I’m the wierdo as I love salmon when I have those pre-cycle cravings. Baked with a bit of Tony Chachere’s spice on top….mmmm, comfort food.

Okay, and banana slices with Nutella is pretty darn good, as well.

I need to have a big ole BlogReaderSleepOver as the Ren Man GAGS at my protein corn creation (and the haystacks).

this?

I recently dropped my strength training to be shorter. Weird that I’m getting better results. Sometimes less really is more.
AMEN, SISTER (Mary).
