Tooting My Own Horn

[cmpsaysno]

This week I had my period and was feeling fat and bloated.  I kicked up my weight regime starting Tuesday but still just felt really unattractive and that everything I am doing is amounting to nothing.  Plus, I am down at least one pants size and my mother didn't even notice when she was here for Christmas

Are you doing weights and such at home, or do you go to a gym?

I do my weights at home. I bought some Core Secrets DVDs a couple years ago and all you need are dumbells and an exercise ball. You'd be surprised at how good a workout you can do with them.

Having your period can make you feel down about EVERYthing, even when there's nothing to feel down about.

Congrats on the size loss! I am not sure where you're losing it from though, as last time I saw you you didn't even look big to me. Regardless, being healthier makes you feel so much better, so... go you!

You don't have to answer if you don't want, but I'm curious as to how much of a pain it was um... growing back after your first Brazilian.

Growing back wasn't too bad. It was a little itchy for a couple days but I used my post-epilation cream and it was fine.

The second one today was way easier than the first. It only took 17 minutes and didn't hurt nearly as bad. Yay!
