Life Update # 2

I want to start out by apologizing for not posting on here for a while! I have some fun things planned for July so I will be on here more often. Also I know this is my infertility journey, but for now I will be talking more about weight loss, as it is apart of the infertility journey. Now on to the post💚

As I sit here on this last day of June, I look back and reflect on how in just one month my life style has changed dramatically! All for the better though I've become a happier more motavated person in just 30 day!

First of all I'm very proud of the fact that I've worked out 30 days in a row! I've never worked out for that long, I usually go gung ho for the first week, then just stop. Not this month I have gone all 30 days! Please head over to my  Allie'sweightlossjourney  Instagram account. I posted an after workout selfie each day along with some other content. I  have been fallowing The Fit Cyster Challenge by The PCOS Nurse on thepcosnurse.com go check out the site she has everything from exersise to nutrition. 

Second big life style change is I've gotten myself it to a routine and I love it I feel more energized and motavated throughout the day, and I find I'm not as hungry throughout the day. My day generally consists of  waking up, working out, eating breakfast, then a snack, then lunch, then a snack, then dinner and sometimes a snack. I've also been drinking more water throughout the day and have set a daily goal for my water intake. There will be a blog post about my daily routine coming soon! 

As far as the infertility journey goes, right now we are focusing on the weight loss, to get my body to hopefully state ovulating and menstruating naturally. If this does not work she will then put me on Clomid. To help with the weightloss I have been taking Phentermine witch is a weight loss pill, that suppresses your appetite. It has been working wonders. I had gained some weight back and was at 390 lbs in the begining of June and after only a week on the pill I had lost about a pound. As of today I'm down to 379 lbs so I will continue to take Phentermine as long as needed, but will stop using it if I happen to get pregnant in the process or when I have lost the amout of weight my OBGYN wants me lose.
I also still see the Acupuncturist weekly and take the supplements she suggests. I will say between the weight loss, and what the OBGYN and the Acupuncturist are doing I have had my period 3-4 times since January it's still not as consistant as we would like it but thats more then I've had in years. Who knows if it's the Acupuncture or the weightloss or a combo of all of it, but I will continue with everything as long as necessary. 

Those are all the life updates I have for you for now! Keep an eye out on this blog, my facebook page, Instagram, and You-Tube for new content this month!

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...
