New Toy!!!
So my husband and I decided we needed to gte some dumbells. He has been lifting weights while he lays down on the floor in between commercials. He has one old dumbell that is 10 lbs and in the other hand he holds my 2-5 lbs dumbells. Yeah not so safe. So we got ourselves a set of those dumbells that you slide across and select the weight you want. No not the Bowflex ones. Nice but too much for our pocket book. So we got the Reebok ones. You can have it set from 5lbs -25 lbs. I am off to go find a routine to start off with. I have the Power 90 Sculpt DVD that I could do till I do.

Getting Healthy!!
So I decided it's time to get my weight under control. I always get psyched this time of year. Ever since I went off Metformin (last year) my weightloss has stopped and I gained back what I lost while on it and eating healthy. My husband has been dropping weight like a faucet dripping water down the drain. I can't let him get sexier than me! LOL! Nah I just need to see that I need to do this for myself. I have always been told losing 10% of your body weight can help flip PCOS symptoms. I get really close and then boom fall off. I need constant motivation. I need to set a plan in motion. Make a schedule. With school, work, Kaila and Dave barely home during the week it doesnt leave me much time. So I just need to schedule everything in and show myself where I can find 'ME' time for exercise. During the summer I walk and swim a lot with the kids. But that is normal. I need to add more to my day. So I am hoping to sit down and get a schedule to put in my elliptical and extra walks. I have the food part down. I have lost 11 pounds and can feel the difference. Now I just need to up it a notch. Exercise is not only what you need to lose weight but it also keeps your head in the right place.
Anyone that needs motivation or would like to be my motivation I am game!!!
This really helped motivate me today:

I did it!
Well I rejoined Weight Watchers yet again. It really is the only eating plan that works. I just need to keep myself positive and stay on track. OK so I know I wont stay on 100% all the time but I need to keep positive when I do fall off.
This time around I decided to do it differently than in the past.
Past:(2002-2005)
Weekly meetings and stop in the community message board occasionally.
2008:
1. Monthly pass (giving me access to etools):
I am pre-paid so if I miss a week I am wasting my money. I am hoping this will work since I do have a gym membership and haven't gone since October. That I plan on starting to use again. Having PCOS it is really important to keep yourself moving daily. I sit allot with my niece during the day (now that it is cold) so I need to get to the gym or on Ellie!
2. I also plan on going on the message boards and making friends. The buddy system works.
3. Unlimited meeting means I can use them like AA. Having a bad food choice day-go to a meeting!
PCOS Issues update:
We went on a break from TTC in the summer. We strated on our wedding night (7/5/03) and we decided it might help to take a break and just enjoy each other.
Back in October I started taking herbs to help with my PCOS issues.
I now take:
Cinnamon-support healthy blood sugar metabolism, provide antioxidant protection, and healthy blood flow.
Chasteberry- correcting irregular period, heavy menses, lack of ovulation, and even infertility.
Helps lower stress levels by normalizing the secretion of prolactin from the pituitary gland. Women with PCOS tend to have high levels of prolactin, which inhibits fertility.It has the ability to stimulate the production of progesterone by the corpus luteum, which results in a shift in the ratio of estrogen to progesterone. Also can help with the clearning up of zits and acne.
Biotin-help restore hair loss, help reinforce the structure of nails, reduce triglycerides as well as a "bad" form of cholesterol, promote healthy glucose (blood sugar) metabolism.
Omega 3's help with the following:
insulin resistance
inflammation
heart disease risk
high blood pressure
elevated triglycerides (blood fats)
diabetes risk
depression and mood disorders
stress
elevated homocysteine levels
excessive weight.
Inositol: is a necessary component of the membranes of your cells and is vital to many biological processes in your body, facilitates fat metabolism in the liver, and may improve ovulation.
B12 and B-6: controls homocysteine levels, metabolizes of protein and fats, and support healthy nerve cells.
Black Cohosh: it helps restore healthy menses and soothes irritation & congestion of the cervix, uterus and vagina. It can also improve circulation. Is a safe sedative to relieve both nervousness and anxiety which is common in women with PCOS.
I currently am not taking metformin or clomid. I didnt have health insurance for the last 3 months but I do now and plan on making an appointment when my card finally gets here. But I do not want to do clomid and am hoping to get on byetta instead of metformin.
Since starting these I got af for the first time in years without being on provera or prometrium to induce it. I started taking the above herbs on day 74 of my cycle (in October) and af finally came day 100. I now have af and it only took 40 days this round. My hair is also thickening back up, my face cl earning up and I have more energy. I am hoping and praying this will work. I just want to feel normal again. In the last year I have been having a lot of sign of early menopause. I'm 29. For never giving birth to children of my own and trying for almost 5 years now that is scary. So along with the herbs, exercise and weight loss I hope to get my hormones under control and beat this thing!

Jury Duty Yesterday...
Well Jury Duty went quick. I arrived about 8:50 am. Went through the metal detectors setting them off with my shoes...lifting my pant legs got me by. I went to the right heading down a long hallway and entered the room. To my surprise it was all redone since my last bout with jury duty. Last time it was a poorly lit room full of those cold metal chairs, in rows going straight back. There was a little spot in the back with a pay phone and water fountain. You weren't allowed to bring anything but your purse and a book. Someone would come in and call numbers. You didn't see anyone till they did. This time I walked in and the room was nicely lit. Women were there to sign you in and hand out paperwork. There were cushioned chairs (the backs too) set up like a doctors office against the walls in a few rows with TVs in the center of the chairs. There were about 2 sections like this. There also were end tables and regular tables to sit at. They had Wi-Fi, 2 computers with Internet, blood pressure machines, a section where you could get Cd's (some books and some music) form a machine and borrow CD players from the women who signed you in, vending machine's, and a library section stocked with books and magazines.There were people all around me with their laptops, PSP players, MP3 players, and game boys. I wish I had gotten the memo letting me know we could bring these items in. There even was a woman behind me who had brought a bunch of scrap booking items (minus anything to cut with) and was making pages! About 9:10 am the Commissioner of Jurors came in and announced how our day would go. Then one of the judges came out thanking us for coming. She announced it was Juror Appreciation Week. We all got pens, wooden gavel key chains, a pocket calendar and the coffee, cappuccino and hot chocolate vending machine was on for free! From there we all watched a Jury Duty documentary with Diane Sawyer on the TVs. Then they asked for the sheets we filled out on employment and where to mail the checks. Then they came out and called 30 names to hand in their questionnaires that the lawyers get to go over before they come in for questioning. This was at 9:30 am. Then at 10:30 am they had all these people line up in a line and head on into the jury selection room. About 30 minutes later we saw some of those people leave. During all this I was reading, talking on my cell or watching CNN on the TVs. I finally got up at 11:30 am to get some hot chocolate. I drank the foam off the top and set it down to cool. At 11:45 am they started calling names again. My name was included. We all were confused because last time they just collected the questionnaires first but she told us all to go right in the room. We all sat down and she announced we all were done for 8 years and we could go home. She explained that they called in too many people for the day, pulled some names and we all got to go. We got a certificate of appreciation, a paper saying what date we served and shoved out the door...lol! I was home by 12:15 pm! $40 for 3 hours of sitting and catching up on my reading...that's a good deal.

Weigh in!!!
I am down 1.5!!! Yahoo!
Bonus: My waist is down 1 inch as well!
Of course I woke up with a chest full of gunk, my ears and nose full! Plus after I weighed in and ate breakfast I had to take a BM. If you know how it goes a bm could be a whole pound!
Ah well it's better than a gain! I'll take it! Yahoo!
Now I need to get my booty moving and use my gym membership. I think since it's so cold out (17F) I will wear my gym clothes there, shower and change. I love that they have blow dryers there too!

Goals
I decided to start pointing through Weight Watchers. I am not going to the meetings. I always start and then stop going. I'd rather do this at home with all my internet friends.
So Starting today 1/11/07 I will be getting back into the swing of things for pointing. Last night we put the points on everything we bought grocery shopping.
Officially I will begin 1/15/07 and will have a weigh in for then
My Points Target= 28
Along with that I am doing Vivid Weightloss's 21 day Challenge
1/11-1/31
1) 2 fruits and 3 veggies a day
2)Drink between 8-12 (8 oz) cups of water a day for a total of 64-96 oz. (should be easy with my 32 oxz Weight Watchers bottle)
3)Log my intake daily
PCOS Issues: My obgyn called and informed me that I shouldnt be drinking milk due to the hormones they inject into cows. So strating form here on out I will be taking calcium w/ vit D supplements and drinking Organic milk (it says right on there they do not inject their cows with growth hormones) and not eating dairy products that dont say other wise.
My mini goal is to drop 20 pounds by March 5th.
I would like to be in Onederland by May 11(my step daughters 10th b-day). That would mean 23 pounds in 9 weeks. It has been 4 years since I have been there!
My by summer goal is to have dropped 64 pounds putting me at pre TTC/PCOS stress weight!

Been Busy!
I have so been slacking on updates!
I'll blame the gym...lol!
No with the recent birth of my niece, going to the gym, Kaila's tennis lessons and softball I just haven't had time to post on here.
I have however been very good with going to the gym. The trainer told me to do only 15 minutes a day of cardio. I stuck to that for a day...Then kicked it up to 45 minutes. I know what I can handle and have had no problems keeping to that. This week I only got to the gym 3 times. I am not upset with myself at all. We had 2 softball games after work so it was a no go. I could have gone on Friday but they are way too busy and I plan on that being my day off. I do want to get there at least 6 days a week though for cardio.
On Kiala's days for tennis I go walk around the track (it's around the football field) 3 times at a steady pace..Plus I go to the gym later. I have been doing my strength training as well. She has me doing a lot with my arms, a few for my abs and my legs. I guess it's for beginners. The first day I was sore the next morning but it's not so bad now. I even have myself doing more reps than she suggested. 6 weeks from the day I started I get re-evaluated (measured , weighed) and they give me a new strength training plan. I am supposed to change my cardio daily between: treadmill, recumbent bike and elliptical but I have been doing trdmill. The elliptical I can only get in 5 minutes! I am dying by then. The recumbent is too boring. It's also not a smooth ride. I figure once I get my cardio built up I'll give the elliptical a try again....
I'll blame the gym...lol!

On Kiala's days for tennis I go walk around the track (it's around the football field) 3 times at a steady pace..Plus I go to the gym later. I have been doing my strength training as well. She has me doing a lot with my arms, a few for my abs and my legs. I guess it's for beginners. The first day I was sore the next morning but it's not so bad now. I even have myself doing more reps than she suggested. 6 weeks from the day I started I get re-evaluated (measured , weighed) and they give me a new strength training plan. I am supposed to change my cardio daily between: treadmill, recumbent bike and elliptical but I have been doing trdmill. The elliptical I can only get in 5 minutes! I am dying by then. The recumbent is too boring. It's also not a smooth ride. I figure once I get my cardio built up I'll give the elliptical a try again....
