Day 21 ✅ day 2 of my period, feeling generally good but lethargic by end of day, and rest felt super good, so I did not have much motivation this evening. I asked my husband for some encouragement to get me off the couch, and he started tickling me 😂 which had me jump up. Solid strategy.
If you ever feel like going crazy with your movement sesh, I recommend “abs + booty | shake” lol. Super fun start, but the intensity halfway & beyond was a lot for me today. I shouldn’t have chugged a bunch of water beforehand because it wanted to come up later haha, BUUUT wow, I really am capable of so much more than I thought! I told myself to not worry what it looked like, just try, and I ended up slaying.
Which was a big win bc I historically have really bad periods that leave me debilitated on day 1 & 2. My lifestyle is the same as usual save for the last 21 days of daily movement at a bit higher intensity / challenge than usual. I feel that my spine, bones, lungs, muscles, everything is functioning so well that my body is able to handle my cycle with more ease. And it feels like the daily drip of endorphins keeps my brain hydrated for mental health, so my moods were stable (unheard of) throughout this menstrual phase.
Turns out I have a lot to say haha, last thing, I would highly recommend Ruth’s Mermaid videos 🧜♀️ after 2 this week, I am getting addicted to my spine/ribs feeling so juicy and buttery. 🧈
Have a great evening ya’ll!! 🖤
