Life Update!

I had my OBGYN appointment on April 13. This appointment was to see what our next steps where in trying to conseve. After talking with the Dr, she suggested I lose more weight before we go any further.
  She wants me to lose another 10-20lbs to be at a healthy weight, and it will hopefully cause my body to have a period naturally. She had me make an appointment with the nurse practitioner to go over a nutrition plan to help me further my weight loss.
  So after talking to the Nurse Practitioner, who works with pregnant women who have Diabetes, and helps with their nutrition. She also used to teach a nutrition class to anyone who was dignoised with Diabetes.
  After going over my current nutrition, she wants me to stick with my current plan of 2252 calories daily, but she also wants me to start looking at consuming 35-45g per meal and 10-15g per snack of carbohydrates daily.
  She also wants me to eat smaller meals through the day. And along with my current plan of nutrition, No Dairy, Gluten, Soy or Meat she wants me to look in to an Anti-inflammatory diet. I will do a separate blog post about it.
I am also in the process of making an appointment with a program called Lifefit that will help with exercising and will hold me accountable for my nutrition and exercise. Dr. T my OBGYN is hoping I lose the weight by mid summer and start Clomid to help with ovulation. I am also still going weekly to the acupuncturist.

    I hope it all works out. I'm also trying to loose weight. I'm eating low carb and exercising 5 days a week. It's ridiculous how hard it is to loose weight with pcos

Time Flies!

Hello Loves💕   I know it has been a while since I have hopped on this blog and written a post. I truly apologize for that, but in all honesty I have not been in the mood to write, right now we are working on my weight loss, so we are at kind of a stand still with what we are going to do next medically to TTC.   I will say that for the past nine months I have been getting my cycle regularly, but unfortunately it has not been enough to have us conceive.   In December I will see my OBGYN again and that is when we will decided the next steps to take, one of which is to try Clomid. I was really hoping that the weight loss would be enough and we would have conceived by now.   It's really been hard for me these past few months, thinking about how I  should be pregnant or have had a child by now. To be completely honest it has been really testing my faith. I've been looking deep within myself and as much as I don't want to praying about it. I know I normally don't ...

New Year New Me

Just like everyone else I wanted to start 2018 out right, so I planned on working out more, eating right and everything in between. so far 2 weeks into the new year and I've all ready lost motivation. That is one of the unfortunate things about Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome, one week I'm all gung ho about getting fit and healthy and the next week I have no motivation at all. I go back to eating things I shouldn't and not exercising like I should. I wish there was a way for me to keep the motivation going longer then a week or a few days. Latly I've been feeling unmotivated in a lot of different aspects of my life. I'm hoping this is just part of the winter blues🙁. If anyone knows of ways to stay motivated, please let me know!

PCOS and Me

Image
Again I want to start off by saying I am not a professional in any way! I am just a women wanting to tell her story. Today I will share my medical history for those who are interested. I was not all ways over weight. As a child my parents did everything they could to feed us healthier food, I didn't have a lot of junk or sweets. My mom was telling me the other day that, no matter what they did I just kept gaining the weight, I was hungry all the time. Fast forward to 6th grade, I was seen by an endocrinologist, and was tested for Thyroid issues, everything came back negative. Even from the start my periods have all ways been irregular, I would get them fairly consistently in the beginning, but they would last a little longer then average. All this time my mom still concerned about my weight gain, but to no avail. I was basically told to watch what I eat and eat healthier. Fast forward again to high school. In high school I did the Weight Watcher program with a relative of min...
