... February review and March preview ...

Posted on Tuesday, March 4, 2008 at 05:12 in random ramblings

We dealt with a lot of illness in our home in February and so there wasn't much thinking going on with regards to healthy living. But, it's a new month and so time to get back on track. I've just had a check-up with my endocronologist and all of my lab results were normal. That is a good thing. However, it doesn't help me figure out what I need to do to lose weight. BOTH of my Dr.'s have told me that PCOS makes it very, VERY difficult to lose weight. Yep, I already knew that as I've been trying for almost 4 years to lose about 20-30 lbs.

So, I'm basically starting all over again like I did in January. My plans for this month are:

- start keeping a daily food diary so that I know the details of what is going into my body

- more veggies every day!

- more water daily

- take the new BodyPump class at the gym 2-3 days weekly with my daughter (she also has a lot of weight to lose)

- eat every 3 hours following the Insulin Resistance Diet and using the glycemic index; combining several techniques from things that have worked before will hopefully give me a quicker loss

I think that once I get all of these techniques in place, my loss will begin and hopefully continue until the end.

Today's weight at home: 158 lbs.        -----                Goal for April 4th: 152 lbs.

YOU CAN DO IT! I weigh in on Mondays, if I see any reduction, I am happy, even if it is only a 1/2 lb.!! Watch portions, exercise in any amount is better than nothing, and drink H2O as much as you can! i LOVE ya, Niki
