So, I've been noticing

that there are some months when my body looks incredibly fit...and then there are times when I look not so "hot".

I'm hoping it's just my imagination or my mirrors :eek: ...but has this ever happened to anyone else?

And if so, what do you do to keep yourself from "over-exercising"?
 
Hi Gabrielle,

I have these days too. Today is a feeling fat day :D. The first thing I do every morning is look at my stomach to see if it looks fairly flat or if it looks a little bloated. It's usually a good indicator of what the scale will say too. I don't have a problem with over-exercising. When I notice unflattering, though temporary, changes in the way my body looks, I don't blame exercise. I blame diet. I don't eat much junk food but I know there are times when I overdo the good stuff.

Yeah, to me, that usually means it's time for new clothes. Same size and everything, just something new.

Time keeps me from "over-exercising".
 
This would be a Day to Day thing for me...:)

I blame it either on TOM, or what I ate.
I was depressed the other night, I did my measurements, I felt really bloated...I am guessing it was all the water I drank. Well, the measurements were a little different the next morning, has this ever happened to anyone?

Hey Megadoo... thanks for responding.

I guess it may must be a woman thing! I do notice that the days after the muscles and "fat" have shifted in my body...maybe this is a transitional period????

I overdo the carbs...:9

I thought TOM was perhaps your husband or b/f...then I realized that you meant Time of Month... LOL....I'd blame my husband anyway... ;)

But, bloating, yeah...I definately notice a difference in my appearance and the "tummy check" becomes a 5 minute ritual!
