Pain in the......

So today I'm going to talk about cramps.  The female kind.  So if there happens to be any guys reading this.  Sorry.    I'm not going to get all National Geographic here though.  I'm going to tell you a story about my cycles.  Sorry if you aren't interested.  Maybe I'm distracting you from the fact I didn't do super on eating today ;) 

Anyways- I've always had heavy cycles and cramping.  Like call out of school for a day because of throwing up the cramps are so bad cramping.  Yay. 

Late high school, I was on the pill to regulate and keep me from bleeding to death and feeling like someone was ripping my insides out of me.  Life was good overall.  No major side effects from the pill I know of.

Got married, decided to have babies.  Had babies.  Blah blah blah.  SO anyways.  The first time I lost significant weight after having children I had a lot of breakthrough bleeding.  This can be kind of normal because the fat that makes us chubby has a lot of estrogen in it and it can play around with your cycles.  I have this every time I loose weight quickly even if it's just 5-10 pounds. 

But even with all of this- when I don't eat healthy my cramps are HORRENDOUS still.  Ugh. It's awful.  I blame my mom (love you mom) because she has always had issues similar. 

So what helps me normally?  Eating healthy, routine exercise, keeping sugar and gut health balanced and Ease.   I am REALLY missing my EASE right now.  I have been taking it for seasonal sinus issues but I realized today while I'm out of Ease and it just got shipped that it REALLY has been helping with my female issues. 

So feel free to say a prayer for me that I get through this week with minimal pain. 

So my food/exercise for today.  Supplements and run with Ella this morning.

Breakfast was eggs, homemade 3 ingredient biscuits, and jam with my X-factor. 

Water, water, water and BioCleanse.  I think I did an Active in there somewhere.  Lunch was on the road for Eli's doctor appointment- I'm sad to say a McDonald's fish sandwich was what I had.  I can still taste the salt.  

Water, water, water, BioCleanse.  I made a "brownie" from the Plexus site for a snack.  It was good, but was nothing like a brownie.  

Water, water, and dinner was chicken baked in soup with broccoli and pasta.  It tasted good.  I Balanced it.  

So now I'm ready for my bedtime supplements and bed!

Blessings in Health and Happiness-
