Yeah if your a guy and don’t want to hear about ‘female things’ I suggest you skip this post. Otherwise any advise/knowledge from my female friends would be much appreciated.

The situation:
So I have been working out about 2-3 times a week. It’s usually cardio with some weight training. My job has recently become a little more active. In other words my daily life has up-ed in used energy alot. I’m constantly running around my store (I work at IKEA, they are kinda big) and I am the ultimate exhausted. I mean while I’m driving home I barley have energy to turn the steering wheel. So when I go to do my workout at the gym or at home I can’t do much. I am still attempting to do my normal exercises but the most I can do sometimes is weight training.
I think that all of this new activity has affected my period. I used to be on the heavier side for about 4 days but now I’m heavy for 2 days and I’m light for the next 5…yeah a week long period is not fun. This is the second month this has happened.
SO I guess what I’m trying to ask is, should I take down my level of exercise? Maybe stop doing so much cardio, I mean 2 times a week is not that much now. Or do we think this is maybe because I am finally at a stable non-varying weight? I haven’t lost a significant amount of weight in a short amount of time. It took me like 2 years to get where I am. I don’t know…but I am looking for insight.
Thanks ladies!
