Who's here this month?
I am, I seem to only check in at the beginning of the month. Will try to check in more often.
How are you?
I'm feeling good. Optimistic about this month & hoping to lose a few more pounds.
What are you working on?
Weight loss through exercise & diet. Pcos management.
How was last month?
Not so bad, gained some but lost towards the end of September. I have to confess that I stopped exercising since August but did exercise a few times in September but wasn't watching what I eat.
How's your PCOS management going?
I had a full physical checkup and PCOS blood works & an abdomen scan. the bad news is a few years ago I didn't have any cysts on my ovaries but the scan I did showed that I do now. the good news is that I don't have to take IR medication anymore (Actos/Met) because my insulin levels seem to be normal. My testosterone levels are borderline high, however the doctor recommended that if I am still getting my periods regularly (or at least every 2 months) that I don't need to be on bcps.
I'm gonna try and manage my condition with exercise and food/supplements and get a checkup by end of this year to see if I need to go back on bcps or not.
This month's plan:
1- track food on sparkpeople and limit carbs after 6 pm.
2- cardio exercise at least 3 times a week and try to fit in yoga.
3- drink more water.
Good luck all
