So, I went to the OBGYN as you know already if you read my last post, for an annual exam. I ended up expressing my concerns to her about PCOS that I was checked for previously. I told her the problems I was having now and how we wanted children and we decided for me to go back on Metformin. I was put on it once before but I quit taking it for reasons I cant really remember. Probably my insurance ended when I changed jobs.
Anyways, today I took my first dose and I am trying to live a more PCOS friendly life. I have been pretty much ignoring the fact that I have it and wondering why my body is responding so poorly to my actions! I felt a little nausea but other than that no bad side effects. I managed to make really good and healthy choices today that I was happy with. I had a weak moment about 15 minutes ago in the kitchen when I really wanted something sweet! I took one sip of a cotton candy soda that hubby got me last night and then had a sugar free chocolate pudding. I have to stay away from sugar. A little is not bad, but I need to eat whole grains and a bunch of other healthy fun stuff.
If you don't know what PCOS is just google it. Its too much to explain lol.
I tracked my calories today but really stopped tonight when I made dinner, but I had a lot left and it was a really good healthy dinner!
Greek grilled chicken salad! I made the dressing with a seasoning packet and marinated the chicken in it. I added a pita bread to it and added red onions, katamala olives, tomatoes cucumbers and feta cheese. It was so good! I added dressing to the salad too.
When I was making dinner I snacked on this combination and it was really good! I like this hummus because it was spicy instead of too garlicky.
I think I am going to cancel my gym membership. Hubby has never went and we had both of us on it for like almost a year! I go but sporadically so its not really worth it, 50.00 a month just for me and Im not even going but maybe 10 days the whole month, if that! I want to start walking again and jogging. I love me some cardio. I want to be outside while its so beautiful and I can get some sun! Well how are yall doing? Let me know what your weekend plans are!
As a teen, my weakness was Big Red soda. Do you know what that is? Lol Anyway, I got one a while back on impulse in a gas station. Didn't seem near as yummy to me. For some reason, your Faygo reminded me of my Big Red days. Who knows. LOL
ReplyDeleteI hope everything turns out ok with the PCOS. :(
ReplyDeleteI would cancel the gym membership too--imagine all of the fitness clothes you could buy for $50 a month! lol
