What do you do during TOM? 🦈
Over the years, I always give in to my cravings, especially during my cycle. I always have some chocolate on hand, some chips and so forth. I binge a bit with no guilt!
I do try to stick balanced meals MOST of the time. This helps my cramps out quite a bit. I usually get them pretty bad the first few days, to where even meds won’t budge them! I also usually skip the gym the first few days. I believe the body deserves a good needed break during this time! (Plus, I feel like passing out with activities like lifting weights 😆)
Some other things I do that help me out is:
- Drink plenty of fluids
- Light walking
- Rest; be lazy!
- Heating pad
- Loose clothing
- Napping
- Hot baths
- Meds (if needed)
- Warm tea

Managing your time of the month (TOM) can be challenging, but implementing a few effective strategies can make a significant difference. First, maintain a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, which can help regulate hormones. Always keep your hydration levels up; drinking plenty of water can combat bloating and fatigue. Additionally, incorporating light physical activities like walking can promote better circulation and reduce feelings of cramps. Rest is crucial; giving yourself permission to be less active during the first few days can help your body recover. Many find comfort in using heating pads, which can soothe muscle cramps effectively. Looser clothing can provide relief if you experience discomfort during Tom. Also, napping may prove beneficial, allowing your body to recharge. Hot baths and herbal teas, such as chamomile or ginger, can further alleviate stress and tension during this period. Remember, it’s essential to listen to your body and seek professional medical advice if menstrual discomfort becomes too severe.
Lose clothing is a must for me 🥰
