Oh, the woes of working out during that "time of the month." When you're not fending off bears on a trail run, you're evading sharks on your ocean swim or simply debilitated by cramps and cravings. Even when you have every intention of getting to your Spin or bootcamp class, your period is there, waiting to ruin your life and your plans. Tall Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Glen Giffen
When it arrives . . .
You've booked your favorite workout class, and suddenly you're hit with cramps.
Everything's fine. You can work out!
But you're afraid to wear your cute workout clothes, for fear of complete and total destruction.
Plus, you're bloated AF.
Fortunately, there are a few things that you can still wear.
You stuff your gym bag with tampons. You never know how many you might need.
And you head to your class, but it's a struggle.
You play it cool on the outside.
After all, you're a champion! You're going to work out!
Even though on the inside, things aren't going so well.
And when you show up at the gym, all the guys are totally fine.
THEY don't get their period! They have an unfair advantage!
So you focus and get to class. This is going to be so good for you!
And you're hoping the cramps will wear off, but your back hurts and you feel gross and you just want to lie down.
But you're gonna make it!
You and your uterus got through it!
But once class is over, a new problem arises: you're CRAVING CHEESEBURGERS.
So you talk yourself up. Your period will NOT ruin your diet!!
I never liked you, Snickers!
But sometimes you just NEED that cheeseburger.
You did work out, after all. Plus it's all protein! . . . RIGHT???
