 Wear
a proper fitting sports bra during exercise. Breast
tissue can be damaged and sag over time when not
supported properly during exercise. Have a bra fitting
expert help you find your correct bra size, and buy the
most supportive exercise bra that you can afford, no
matter whether your cup size is an AA or DD.

The Energy of Frustration
 Some
of the greatest achievements come from the biggest
frustrations. In frustration there lies an enormous
amount of energy. Too often, that energy is directed and
focused in negative ways, but it certainly does not have
to be.
Some people use frustration as an excuse to destroy.
This may be completely understandable, but it doesn't do
anything to improve the situation. The gratification of
any "revenge" is quickly replaced by an even bigger and
more desperate frustration.
The best response to frustration is a positive action.
Sure, you have every right to be angry, but so what? The
real challenge is to make a positive difference. The
energy of frustration is a powerful resource that can
propel you to new heights. Don't waste it by trying to
bring someone else down to your level. Aim at looking up
in the direction of the sky.
There is abundant energy in your frustration. It is
yours to use for whatever purposes you desire. You've
paid dearly for that frustration, so funnel it in a
positive direction and make the very most of it.

Ingredients:
-
Cooking spray, preferably olive oil
-
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
-
1 tsp. finely chopped garlic
-
8 oz. zucchini (1 medium), cut into 1/8-inch rounds
-
4 large eggs
-
2 large egg whites
-
2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
-
1/2 tsp. salt
-
Ground black pepper
-
1/4 cup fresh basil, cut cross-wise into thin slices
-
1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
|
Directions:
-
Coat pan heavily with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. Sauté onion until golden, 3-4 minutes. Mix in garlic and cook 1-2 minutes, until onion is lightly browned. Transfer contents of pan to plate to cool.
-
Coat pan again with cooking spray and return to heat. Add zucchini and cook until slices look moist and translucent. Using tongs, keep spreading and turning zucchini to brown slices on both sides, 8-10 minutes, adding to onion mixture as zucchini slices brown. Wipe out the pan.
-
In mixing bowl, whisk eggs and whites until well combined. Mix in cheese, salt and pepper. Add vegetables and basil, and mix with fork to combine with eggs
-
Add oil to pan and tilt pan to swirl oil around sides. Set pan over medium-high heat. Pour in egg mixture, spreading zucchini and onion in an even layer.
-
As eggs start to set, use wide spatula to lift frittata around edges while tilting pan slightly so liquid egg flows out and under the edges. Cook until frittata is browned on bottom and set except in center, about 8 minutes. Off heat, invert large plate over pan. Pressing it firmly in place against the pan, invert the two so frittata falls from pan onto plate.
-
Slide frittata back into pan and cook to lightly brown bottom, 1-2 minutes longer. Slide frittata onto serving plate. Serve immediately, or cool frittata to room temperature before serving. This frittata also can be covered and refrigerated overnight. Cut into 4 wedges, and serve.

your period seems to be lasting longer than seven days,
you pass large clots, or you routinely start soaking
through a maxi pad or a super tampon in an hour, you
have menorrhagia, the medical term for heavy menstrual
bleeding.
Menorrhagia can develop in any woman of childbearing
age. Young adolescent or pre-menopausal women tend to be
affected more by menorrhagia.
