Amazing how a couple little numbers can make you feel so defeated. It's been a year since I started Zumba and I'd lost 26lbs and gained by 14lbs. I don't want to be one of those people to crash/fad diets and bounce back and forth with my weight. I just want to be healthy, physically and mentally.
I've started taking supplements for my PCOS to help with the physical and emotional issues. I suffer from acne, male location hair growth, thinning hair on my head, extreme fatigue and depression related to PMS/PMDD. I swear the more hair I lose on my head it grows on my face and chest. I've taking 2 amino acids, lots of vitamin D, krill oil since fish oil makes me burp like crazy, green tea. I'm finding I have more energy but I will report back in a month.

Scheduled the Appt!
I wrote this back months ago but it never got published. I'll write a follow-up tomorrow.
This girl finally scheduled a doctor's appointment to get everything checked out. Haven't had a physical and all the "lady check-up" stuff done in 4 years so it really is about time... Looking forward to see if I really have PCOS and to do something with all the excess belly fat, facial hair, shedding from the top of my head! I'll update when I find out.
Day 2 of Phase 1 of South Beach diet. I had fallen off over the last few months and been eating fries, fried food and the like, Luckily only gained back 5-6lbs. I started back over in phase one since I had been also eating candy and a lot of diet soda. I really don't like to drink diet soda or diet anything. I'm hoping that once I get to a healthy weight I can eat natural organic sugar when I want to have something sweet. I try to stay away from HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) and trans fats as much as possible. I like to eat whole foods and those kinds of things but man does a Culver's chicken tender basket w/ fries just hit the spot... then make you fall asleep after your sugar crashes from too many simple carbs...
Tomorrow for lunch since I have no leftovers will be shrimp w/ a salad from the salad bar at the grocery store.
Stay positive, till the next time.

PCOS? Maybe...
So I'm finally giving in and going to the doctor. Losing weight is not working well... I have nearly every symptom of PCOS except for the missing periods. Hold my excess weight in my middle region, excess hair on face and hands (yuck), hair loss on my head (my hair is sooo thick that I still have to have my hair thinned by the hair stylist.
I hate going to doctors, terrified of what they are going to tell me. Over time I've gone from 172lb in 2004 to 220lbs by 2005 and then 240lb by 2006. Now I'm around 240-50lbs. I would like to get down to 160lbs. I was told my blood pressure was on the high side of normal in 2006, I cut out frozen meals and canned soup and in 2006 my bp was back to the same reading I got in 2004!
Going to plan for a full blood work-up to see what is all out of whack to cause me these issues, I assume PCOS but there could be other things.
Wish me luck on finding out what's up with my body and hopefully a smooth transition to a healthier me. Just hope I can get my hubby on board to help me with the food aspect.
