Question

My lower body workout was killer today. My dad was in the garage working out with me, and he was cute. He was doing a bunch of army stretches he probably learned when he was a soldier in the Vietnam era (thankfully, he ended up in Korea, not Vietnam, guarding the border during the war).

I'm about to go downstairs (I'm working from home today) to make myself some delicious stir fry veggies along with a whole wheat tortilla and some lean steak leftover from last night. Yum!

Question for you ladies: have you ever heard of menstrual suppression? Here's a little info at this website: www.noperiod.com. Basically you take birth control pills, but skip the last week (where you would start your period). The thinking is, since your birth control pills keep the lining of your uterus very thin (the reason you have a period is to get rid of the thick lining, which builds up to get ready for a fertilized egg), you don't need to have a period for months at a time if you don't wish to. Many women skip their periods for three months or even years at a time without side effects--other than the good ones, like not having a period, no cramps, bloating, etc.

Anyway, I know this isn't a fitness thing, but it's health-related, and something I've been thinking about (I get two or three migraines a month right before I start) and something my doctor suggested.

Any thoughts?
