I wish we had more active female members so I could get an athletic womans perspective on this..
Wifey is pre menopausal, nasty frequent hot flashes, weird mood swings all the worst sides...
My wife is a cardio monster, last week she logged 30 miles jogging, walks the
dog twice a day 1.5 mi each time. Does pilates twice a week, yoga twice a week, lifts with me twice a week... this has been her regimen for a couple years now....While I'm with her I cook clean and low cal, Because we shop together and because I see it disappear I know when I am at work see eats fruit, vegetables and clean protein her fats come from protein, peanut butter and cheese. We don't have crap snacks in the house, no soda no fruit juices.... she drinks about 1 gal water a day, she will have a glass of wine with dinner, an occasional beer, no hard liquor. we figure her calories in are 20c, 50p, 30f in macros totaling about 1200 to 1300 a day and threw all this she added almost 10# in the last 2 weeks...she is crushed, I don't know if the low is even lower because of her stage in life...
her thyroid panel came back at just below mid line for normal. Her "time of month" is so random it goes from 15 days to 60 days, sometimes she gets the "feeling" that its gonna happen and then never does. lately its really really strong when she does..... sorry about the gory details but I'm trying to put as much info as I can think of in the post.
I'm looking for advice, work out wise, diet wise anything to help her thru this.
