This week marks my first period off the birth control. So far, not so bad. It started earlier than usual (Monday instead of Wednesday) so I'm hoping that means it will end earlier too! the cramps have been minimal, the bloating has been minimal, the cravings have been non-existent. The fatigue is still there but I have definitely had worse and I'm having some lower back pain today. I've been doing intermittent fasting all week and it's been pretty damn easy. I think it is also preventing me from eating ice cream just because I feel like my period justifies it. So I'm happy to report that things are going swimmingly. The first week off the meds was hard but now I'm feeling pretty good! Let's hope this trend continues.
In other news, I have two weeks left working with Jeremiah and I'm kind of sad about it. The Tough Mudder group started training together yesterday and it looks like they aren't going to work me as hard as Jeremiah did so I will probably need to still do stuff on my own which is fine.
