So I started this whole diet and excersize program on 9/20. So far I have lost 16 pounds. I am excersizing every day - mostly classes at the Y. Kickboxing, step, cardio interval, etc. Sometimes I do 30 min on the elliptical and then lift.

In the beginning, I could barely get through a class. I was so out of shape. As the weeks went on, I could feel that I was stronger and I could make it through more of the class. I felt strong. I also sweat a ton more now then I did when I was starting. I took this to mean that I was getting stronger and my body could do more - work harder.

This week at classes, I seem to be getting tired/out of breath again. I did a kickboxing on Tuesday, Step on Wed, off Thurs, and Step today. I felt like my body wanted to do less then it was doing before. I was so happy when I could make it through a class and not be doing all the modifications with the older ladies (I am only 36!)

I don't want to excersize less and I am making really great weight loss progress, but it is such a bummer to feel so BLAH after a workout.

Is this just because I am stronger now and so even without meaning too, I am continuing to push during classes?

Not to be too graphic, but it is right before that time of the month. I tend to be pretty lethargic around this time. Could it just be a normal ebb and flow to my female body?

I have never had success before with excercise and eating healthy so this is all new territory for me. Am I doing too much? Do I just need to suck it up and do it to get stronger?
