Eating Success

I have been going strong on my Paleo eating and I am starting to see the results of my resisting all those delicious sugary treats that I love when I want to eat my emotions!! I have lost 3 inches in my waist and 1 inch in my hips with very limited exercise. I feel soo much better and more alert during the day and sleeping more soundly at night which makes sitting at a computer and reading legal documents a lot easier to do!! I haven't noticed yet a decrease in facial hair yet but I am sure I will notice that again soon. I am not incredibly hairy but I do need to wax my upper lip which is obnoxious to say the least!!

I was visiting with my friend that just went through her first round of IVF she gave me a copy of the book "Making Babies" that Diva Bud was talking about so I am going to get started reading that and returned a great book that I forgot about called, "What to Do When You Can't Get Pregnant". This is a great book that explains all the processes that you could go through in diagnosing infertility, what your OBGYN will do, when to move to an RE and an excellent description of every procedure you may encounter from blood work to IVF w/ ICSI. I would highly recommend it to anyone that doesn't know much about the procedures or what their next steps should be in the TTC process.

The next few weeks I will be busy reading up on some more holistic TTC methods and getting my eating and weight loss goals met. Oh baby sounds like fun!!

Eating Habits & More

So I finally got back on board with my eating plan where I am eating Paleo. I have been rock solid since August 1st and have noticed the difference in my energy levels, hair growth and weight, which I am the most excited about!! Having PCOS and being insulin resistant eating Paleo keeps my insulin levels balanced and low, which in turn have helped balance out my other hormone levels. It decreases how often I have to wax my lovely mustache!

September 18th I have a triathlon that I should really start training for but seem to just not be motivated. I did my first bike ride the other day with my sister and it didn't end with me tipping over but that is probably because I wasn't biking with clips! I enjoy doing the triathlons but I am afraid of biking and being hit or hitting someone or tipping over really. So it makes for a slow biking but better than Marathons which was my previous go to event!!

Anyways I am slimming down and will start doing Crossfit in a month along with training for the triathlon I should be toning back up!! All good things for me and trying to keep my PCOS in check and hopefully my fertility in the positive as well.
