I feel better about myself and find that I'm not as irritable, which I'm sure my family appreciates! I guess it all depends on the individual though.

It can suck sometimes, but you just gotta do it. Running is the one thing that I really hate to do, but that is not an option for me, so I just have to deal with it. It never bothered me until I got the IUD but it is so worth it cause you don't have to worry about pills and shots. -------------- Lisa

I also would not like to stop my routine because of it. I would be to afraid of skipping a beat, and feeling a little sluggish come a whole week later. You know your body. If it is putting more strain on you than normal, trust me, your body will tell you when it's not a good time to work out. -------------- You have the power to control your own destiny.

If you feel really down and not good at all then you shouldn't go to the gym (even thou some cardio could help) but otherwise just don't think about it. First when you get started the nagging tummy ache often just goes away. -------------- - Nina :o) La vie est toujours aussi belle.....
