PCOS

Thursday, November 27, 2008

Living with PCOS can be Challengeing and a pain in the Butt....the syptoms at time are annoying...like dry skin , irregular periods, tiredness, insulin reisitance, weight gain, and the difficulty of losing the weight you did gain...I am so making progress...still have hormones that are a little off but my body is starting to listen to its self and becoming regular....

  

Things I have learned this past month

Wednesday, November 26, 2008

1. That I can eat healthy and not feel deprived
2. That everything in moderation...including junk
3. That fruit is sometimes sweeter then candy and causes no guilty
4. with a little planning I will never again take fast food as the easy way out

Yesterday & Monday were hell at work...and that is the under statement of the century...Both my Co-worker and My Boss lost their minds...and unfortuneatly, everyone else was ducking them...I have today off thank goodness as by 12 noon yesterday I was ready for a Martini...A whole pitchers worth...and as general rule I don't drink.....

But I had planed ahead a few weeks ago with quick through in the Microwave healthy dinners so that when I got homw I did not have to worry about cooking...it worked out grand and I feel like I have acomplished something positive for me

  

My Holiday Weekend

Monday, November 24, 2008

Well, two days of work this week...then 5 days of relaxation...well really 4 1/2 cause we go to my MIL and my Husbands family can get to be a bit much for me. The suck a lot of energy for lack of a better description...they spend too much time pretending things are perfect...My family well we know things are not perfect...we choose to not pretend and to at least give each other breathing room the other plus is it is in the middle of the woods on a lake and no summer people are left so when you go out side all you hear is nature...the other plus it is supposed to be a wonderful weekend....in MN terms it will be cold but sunny perfect for walking the dog...I plan on reading, scrapbooking, and crafting....in other words doing nothing

  

My Weekend

Sunday, November 16, 2008

Well we got a lot done this weekend. Yesterday was gorgeous The sun was out and we had a dusting of snow from the night before...we did get the leaves raked around the house and on the flower beds...the rest we took to the compost site. We also got the grocery shopping done for the week...I prefer to shop once a week vs. every few days less temptation and over spending. Tonight we had Bistro Chicken...Fantastic and it had an herb combination I would not have thought of..Tarragon & Thyme...I highly recommend it and considering the tarragon and the thyme came out of my garden made it even better...although I think that is the last of the herbs until next spring...at least until my indoor herbs get growing.

I also baked pumpkin banana bread & Muffins...Muffins are easier to grab and go with less thought which is what I need during the week...made with whole wheat flour but very light and fluffy...the loaf of bread I am taking to my Mom's for Thanksgiving as I hate not having stuff I should eat...although she did make a concession and is making a dessert I can have...I am really trying to watch what I eat...like tonight was Bistro chicken, Carrots and a baked potato. Tomorrow is chicken Mushroom soup and beer cheddar bread,...I am trying to keep variety as well as keeping it healthy we are at a pound a week but my exercise has been hit and miss so when I get more consistent with that the pounds will really start to fall off...I know the inches have already started.

Excited

Thursday, November 13, 2008

I am excited. I went to the gym tonight after work...I have been struggling with the gym...Mainly because I am bored and I didn't know where to start to get back to where I was at 5 years ago...so they had one of those articles about walking the pounds off...if you need the link it is in my Favorites...anyway I figured good place for me to start..I actually had fun..it was not a chore and the time flew..I think because you warm up and cool down which I tend to skip is what made the difference...that and I can go to the gym by my husbands work on my way to pick him up...so now I can get 2 work outs in...little bits at a time and start really making progress
