WARNING....THIS POST HAS PERSONAL FACTS ABOUT ME. So if you don't wish to read it's ok.
So...for more than 3 weeks I've been very confused in many different ways mainly about my body and my emotions. It's my 7th month in my treatment plan for my PCOS, Insulin Resistance, and Hypothyroidism and there are many changes going on with me. Some days I don't even know if I truly know myself anymore...it's really weird. I have a lot hard time control my feels about what's been going on and being sick. Don't worry...I still have a positive out look on it still.
I'm starting to see the changes that my body has made and some are great...but others are not. Less hair, more active, more energy, happier and etc. are great to finally have control of. The one thing that I HATE at the moment about this whole thing about been sick is that some of the signs of getting better is also tells you if you are PREGNANT! Like right now, it's the fact that my chest have not only gotten smaller but they are fullier and my nipples HURT!!! I have done a lot research about it...and most lead to that it means that I am pregnant...well, I'm not. I've check 3 times in the last month. It's so annoying! I can't even exercise normally without my chest hurting by moving around. I don't even know when it's going to stop hurting so much!
I've talked to my Doctor and she said that it's just a way that my body is let us know if the testosterone is becoming less dominated and the estrogen is start to come back up to a normal level. So in other words, I'm still going through puberty or going through it again!! Although I can't really complain because my doctor is really happy with the results that have just start happening because she knows for a fact now that my body is getting back to normal and I'll have control of my health. But I think I have the right to be mad at my body for giving me false hope again! Grrrrrrrrrrr!

Doctor Appointment
I know that I am posting this really late but a lot of things have been going on since the beginning of the year. Anyways, on the 5th I visited my doctor for the first time this year. We had to wait for my results from the lab to see the results of my T3, T4, and TSH levels. Anyways, we sat and talked about how I felt over the Christmas holiday. I have gain 4 lbs from the holiday which I told her right off but she wasn't surprise about me gaining the weight but she was surprised that I only gain 4 lbs. She told me that all of her patients would gain an average of 10 or so.
Soon after that the office receive the results. My T3 and T4 was normal but my TSH levels were a little high but not by much either. My doctor explained to me that she was really going to work on my diet and workout route. She had me watch two movies off of Netflix: Fat, Sick, and Nearly Died and Forks Over Knifes. She than wanted me to look up a ebook from greensmoothgirl.com. These all talked about what we eat isn't always healthy and what not.
She also changed up my workout route a little. Most of you probably knows who Jillian Michaels is right...she's from the tv show called the biggest loser. Well, my doctor had me looked into her 30 day shred workout video. I've have done it a few time and it's only a 20 minutes workout but it kills me every time. She still wants me to do my aqua zumba class and the hydro-fit class but she wanted me to do the 30 days with them. I've still haven't figure out how to fit it in my daily schedule which is weird because I should be about to fit a 20 minute workout in it really easy.
We also talked about my weight goal. I told her that I wanted to go to 135 lbs. She said that was a good goal but she also wanted me to try to get in between 130 to 120 lbs. I don't think I will be able to but I will give it a try. So we talked about how much weight I should lose a week now and she wanted me to lose a lb a week...but I'm thinking that I'm going to go for 2 lbs a week so I can make it to my goal before we go to Puerto Rico in July. Last week I made the goal but this weight I've gained a lot of muscle mass so I've gain the 2 lbs back. I still have a few day before it's the end of the week but I'm working on it.

New Years Goals
Everyone has been talking about New Years goals and asking me what I have plan this year. Since a lot of people have been asking me I've been thinking about it. I even talked to Logan about it a little and learned what he had planned for this year too. Anyways, here are our goals:
Logan's: He plans on making a goal to get through most of his Masters this year and getting some good job opportunities so when he finish in May 2013 we won't have to worry too much.
Mine: 1) I actually have a few goals to work on. One of them is to finish up all the projects that I've been working on lately which are: a jean blanket for my mom's boyfriend (which she asked me to do), mom's christmas present, and my mom's side of the family genealogy.
2) To get a job at bakery sometime in the next month or two...so if you know of any good ones let me know.
Our goals: 1) We both also decided to lose some weight together. Logan is planning on losing about 25lbs while I'm going to reach my finishing goal at 135 or what my doctor was thinking of 130.
2) We are both going to start eating a lot healthier not only because I need to but so we can actually plan out our lives to the fullest knowing that we are as healthy as we can be and I can control my PCOS.
Anyways, that's our plans and here soon we are going to get started and go full out until we meet them. Wish us luck!

December Goals
So in the end, I was right to be worry about the holidays...well I should say Christmas. I did fairly well during Thanksgiving. Anyways, At the beginning of December I weighed 181 lbs and down at a size 30 in pants. I felt great knowing that I did great for Thanksgiving and losing a few pounds.
As of the end of December, I, unfortunately, gained 4 lbs...close to 5 lbs. I went up in a size in my pants which is at 31 now. It really sicks and it took a toll on me this last few days. I felt horrible, I didn't want to see really anyone and I got sick with a cold which I'm still trying to get out of that phase of the coughing and the stuffy nose. I'm also having a hard time starting to workout again. I've been eating mostly healthy but I know that I could of done better too.
I remember when I was way over weight before I was actually diagnose and I did not enjoy myself, I hate looking in the mirror and many other things and I really don't want to go back to something like that. I would never have that put on anyone. I know that I still have a long way to go but I'm getting there slow but surely and take small steps.
