Re: PCOS Check In
BFP 2: 7/7/2014 Beta 7/8: 115, Beta 7/12: 638, Beta 7/16: 3793, Beta 7/21: 21,625
Any updates on your TTC process? Nope.
Are you doing anything new to battle the PCOS b*tch? Nope.
How are you doing with diet and exercise? Pretty good. I've been working out consistently and have made the mental switch to make it apart of my lifestyle. Same with diet. I think H is having a harder time understanding this. He doesn't seem to fully get that this is how I have to live my life to stay healthy. I guess he's so used to me starting a diet and exercising and then giving up, so I don't blame him.
Any suggestions for PCOS friendly meals or workouts?
One of my favorite dinners lately has been sirloin steak (6 oz), sauteed green beans (olive oil and little salt or Mrs. Dash for seasoning) and red potatoes sliced and baked in the oven. The largest serving is the green beans and about half a red potato. It fills me up and the whole meal is ~350 calories and 30 carbs.
For workouts, I'm loving the T25 program. It's a great workout in 25 minutes and so far has given me great results.
What would help get or keep you motivated to eat healthy and exercise? I'd really like to see H get into working out again. He'll do some sort of exercise once or twice a week, but he's just not fully committed to it yet.
Did you know anything about PCOS before you were diagnosed? I knew my mom was diagnosed with it, but I really didn't have a clue what it was all about.
QOTW: What was the last thing you pinned? Motivation to keep working out
AW/FFC: H's birthday is on Friday and we are having a crawfish boil on Saturday to celebrate. I'm making him a cake that looks like his beer pong table. I finished the red solo cups last night and also made some beer cans of his favorite beer.
BFP 2: 7/7/2014 Beta 7/8: 115, Beta 7/12: 638, Beta 7/16: 3793, Beta 7/21: 21,625

Any updates on your TTC process? Nope. Still TTA for now.
Are you doing anything new to battle the PCOS b*tch? Just the PCOS/GF diet and exercising.
How are you doing with diet and exercise? Okay. Last week was bad with exercise. I only ran once. But that's what I do after a long run. I did a 14 mile run that Saturday then ran once that week. This week I'm bound and determined to be better.
Diet hasn't been bad. I cheated and had a DQ blizzard that had cake pieces in it. Then gave it to H because it didn't taste good to me. So maybe my tastebuds are getting used to the lack of sweets and crap food.
Any suggestions for PCOS friendly meals or workouts? Made this the other day, and it was delicious.
Also am having an addiction to these GF PB&J bars from Walmart. YUM!
What would help get or keep you motivated to eat healthy and exercise? Looking at my chart. I fell off the wagon last week, then looked at my chart and O on CD15 and snapped myself back out of it. Just when I think it isn't worth it, I try to remind myself that I've ovulated on my own twice now. That's something that only happened last year because I had followed this diet!
Did you know anything about PCOS before you were diagnosed? Nope. Nada, zitch, ziltch.
QOTW: What was the last thing you pinned? These that I will hopefully make this weekend.
AW/FFC: H ran with me again last night. :-) He also told me what his goal weight is and that he wants me to help keep him accountable to lose the rest of the weight. He's lost 30lbs so far, and wants to lose another 35.

Are you doing anything new to battle the PCOS b*tch? Just exercise, diet, and metformin.
How are you doing with diet and exercise? Pretty good! I'm back to using my food journal regularly and have been making exercise a bigger priority.
Any suggestions for PCOS friendly meals or workouts? No specific meals or workouts but I know I am trying to stick with whole foods and whole grains.
What would help get or keep you motivated to eat healthy and exercise? My Fitness Pal is a big help. I like making sure I am within my calorie goals and that I make my exercise goal. It would help a lot if I had a workout buddy too though.
Did you know anything about PCOS before you were diagnosed? I knew the basic idea of it since my sister was diagnosed first.
QOTW: What was the last thing you pinned? The "Seven Day No Gym Workout Plan" pin. I'm going to start it next week!
AW/FFC: Confession- We are trying to save money right now and pay down some credit card debt but I really want to go ahead and splurge on a heart rate monitor wrist watch!
Currently on Metformin and Synthroid
EDD: 6.15.15
Any updates on your TTC process? I ovulated, so there's that. Then the wicked witch of the red showed up this afternoon with no warning signs whatsoever (other than a temp drop) so yeah. Nothing else new.
Are you doing anything new to battle the PCOS b*tch? nope
How are you doing with diet and exercise? Diet is good for the most part. Exercise is um. yeah. I'll get there.
Any suggestions for PCOS friendly meals or workouts? not really.
What would help get or keep you motivated to eat healthy and exercise? My husband's health makes me eat healthier. I'm still working on the exercise thing though.. it's an anxiety/panic disorder thing that holds me back..
Did you know anything about PCOS before you were diagnosed? No and I really didn't research it much until we had been TTC for awhile.
QOTW: What was the last thing you pinned? Kohlrabi Carrot Fritters with Avocado Cream Sauce
AW/FFC: Since AF showed, I got a cookies and cream hershey bar from the vending machine.
In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!
