Okay, thanks Jen. Do you usually lose your period during comp time?

The spotting has happened to me this month too. It has also happened to me a couple of other times in the last 3-5 months. I am on the pill. I have an appt with my gyno in a few weeks. Ive read about it on the internet and it basically says that if it happens often to go see a doctor.

Feeling really week tonight.. I need some carbs and I need it bad. I know a super tough spin session isn't the best thing to do on a low carb day, but the instructor were sick and someone had to do it. I might have to do a lot of classes this week, more than half the instructors are sick.. The class was great though, I added some new songs that got me motivated. Some old club hits that reminded me of my wild partying days.

I'm pooped, I'm going to bed!

Thanks Jill! I'm planning on seeing my gyno soon anyways, so I'll talk to her about this too. I'll wait another month I think to see how it is developing. Thanks!

I'm sorry to hear your period is getting weird sweetie

Mine was always like CLOCKWORK til I started really dieting, now it comes when it feels like it (sometimes 3 weeks late sometimes a couple weeks early )

I agree Jenny, if it keeps up DEFINTLY go see your doc. It took them YEARS(since I was 13) to figure out what was wrong with me. not something to take lightly keep track of eveyrthing too as Jen said to be able to show your doctor. it really helps. best of luck sweetie!

I hope you getting feeling better tonite too, I know how terrible it is to feel weak! and you are a busy woman with teaching those classes!

Nah i dont lose it...it does get lighter though...a friend of mine that lost alot of bodyfat actually got hers more
keep an eye on it and then go talk to the drs and they can suggest something...i am sure that it will just work itself out though

Well, she may have a point...It's about balance. Plus, you should focus on school.....these are words of advice that I need to listen to myself.

Well, I don't think I'm overdoing it right now. I'm allowing myself to rest when I'm tired (well, if I don't have to teach spin class), and I'm getting more cals than a lot of people here except on no carb days. I'm actually eating more and training less than I have before My grades are great and I'm doing well in school.
I've lost quite a bit of weight and I guess it's not strange how my period is a bit weird. If it keeps on going like that for several months and my dr says I need to change something, I will.
Thanks for looking out for me though

Hey Jenny!! Just wanted to tell you to definatley keep a journal or something of your spotting.. It's probably nothing serious--but if continues--you should go to the Dr.

Hope your having a greeeeeeat day!

Lol, well I would hope that you are getting more calories than some people on this board because you do a lot more cardio than they do.

Thanks sweets I'm keeping a journal of it. I got off BC not too long ago, so it could be my body not fully stabilized from that yet as well. It can take up to six months I'm going to my gyno soon anyway, I always go there at least once a year for checkups.

Thats right-- it does take your body a long time to get normal again after you get off the pill.
I'm getting off the pill this weekend-so may be in the same boat as you. But I spot all the time anyway--so I would notice!

Today I slept in Haha, what a SHOCK, Jenny didn't get up at 5:00 AM to powerwalk I didn't feel too great after teaching spinning last night and when I woke up this morning I was still kinda semi crappy. So, I turned my alarm off and went back to sleep. I'm pretty darn proud of myself One of the spinning instructors called AGAIN and asked me if I could teach tonight.. I said I couldn't and now they have to cancel the class. Which makes me feel bad, but I need to think of my health.. If I forced myself to do that I would probably be sick. Nothing really hurts, not throat or head, but I can feel it creeping up on me. So I'm popping these magic anti-cold pills my moms got
