I'll eat all of the things and that will help

Okay, Buzzfeed link, so you know. But this article on What Having Your Period Feels Like is pretty brilliant.

Breaking Muscle put up a post that itemizes ten blood tests for athletes. I already do some of these, but others I've never even heard of. The HS-CRP, IGF-1, Heart Rate Variability, and Oxygen Saturation sound especially helpful. Might be making an appointment with Dr. Khosh sooner than I thought.

I felt good enough to go to the gym this morning (yay!) and am feeling fine. I didn't work as hard as I did on Sunday and that was a wise choice. I did one of my three sets of lunges unweighted and did only two of three sets of the side plank twists/elbow-to-hand pushup superset.

Feeling good about feeling good right now. I was going to roast a duck for dinner this evening, but I just found this recipe that takes four hours and it looks amazing and I'm thinking maybe I'll save this duck until Saturday.

YAY! I'm so glad to hear you're feeling well! It's really smart of you to reframe your weight training goals around what's right for your body. You. are. awesome.

I'm tempted to draw my own experiences on the template they provided.

The one with the yellow wavy lines down into the legs hit home for me this week. And all the ones with the giant, sore boobs. Ow. :(

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Ugh. Poor thing. SO GLAD my breasts don't get as sore as they used to. SMALL BLESSINGS.

OMG that article is so accurate I could cry. I lost it at "THIS IS SPARTA!!!" though XD

I love the pics that you see on Tumblr of a brutal battlefield and the text "Meanwhile in my goddamn uterus..." Accurate.

I told Peaches this weekend that she and her alpha period could go fuck themselves. I only partially meant it. *curls up and whimpers*

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

You mean this one?

[1-rhiannon-1.livejournal.com]

Aha! That's the one! *right-click-save* Thanks doll!

If you ever want to check out (and use) any of my gifs, you can access them through my LJ scrapbook (http://clevermanka.livejournal.com/pics/catalog/), which is public.

I have that link saved as a favorite on my computer :D

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Yay!

Since I have a PC again, I have access to all my gifs too :D
I missed my gif folder so much!

Feeling better: Yippee!

I don't even care about bloaty bloat when I was eating all the chocolate.
Simply yay for the good bits here.

I can't decide which of the Buzzfeed pics are the most accurate, though I'm partial to the devil face and the Eye of Sauron.

[kazoogrrl.livejournal.com]

PS: Your Tumblr set is killing me!

[sherwood21.livejournal.com]

Yay for feeling better! Also, those uterus diagrams. ALL TRUE. SO MANY TRUES.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Indeed!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Yay for good bits!

I liked the one with an anchor tied around her waist.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

IN A GOOD WAY YES

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Srsly.
