Sixers Valentine Vixens WK 2

Cathy- Maybe with this diet the doc has you on it will bump that metabolism into gear. Shakin' it up a little.

unfortunately it's just going back to the diabetic diet i lost a bunch on. so far i may have just barely lost the 3#s he wanted. i don't know what i weighed on his scale. i know it's close to mine. i haven't even lost inch's. that's what surprises me. i can put on a pair of pants and fit great. a few days to a week later i can't get them on. it's like i am ballooning. i am asking for the referral to an endro. i just keep plugging away. don't know. i do have my days were i get so frustrated. enough of me.

amyls.....wow your first week was great. how do you feel?

Went for my yearly doctor's appointment. Didn't want to because the cramps are bad. TOM is late by a week (not pregnant as I'm "fixed") But thought that this was the perfect time so he could do his exam and I could let him know I'm not crazy since every other time I tell him how bad the cramps are doing ovulation and TOM, he says he can't find anything (because I don't go when I'm having cramps). Well, he immediately sent me for a sonogram, which revealed a 3 cm cyst on my right ovary (the side that always hurts). I'M NOT CRAZY!!!! He says I probably get them every month (actually twice a month), but this one just kept growing. So, on birth control I go, which is frustrating because I'm obviously worried about any weight gain, but if it makes the pain go away, I'm all for it. Thank goodness hubby went with me and held my hand as the poking and prodding from doc and sonogram were excruciating.

So I came home and did a little more research and found out that high carb, high sugar foods and non-organic red meat can actually exacerbate the symptoms. Which is funny, because for two weeks, all I have been craving is high carb, high sugar foods, and even as a vegetarian have been taking bites of everyone's hamburgers and steaks. It's bad for me, but my body craves it?

Anyway, that was my day. Glad I finally have an answer. Now just need to learn self-control on my "bad for my body" foods so that I can make the pain go away for good. And no more excuses of "oh it's my TOM so I can eat whatever I want". At this rate, I'm going into my THIRD week :laugh:

Hope you all had a little less eventful day. Thanks for letting me vent.

Hey my lovelies... I just wanted to say hi to my many sixers whom I miss so badly (I know more than half of you have no clue who I am!!)
Any time I spend on the computer during 99% of my day is time that I am directly taking away from the kiddos. Since we're home schooling it's just too much of a draw on my time and since the sixers have become such a large group (and chatty as ever ) I can't keep up. I miss you guys and I wish I could squeeze in extra hours in my day to take part again but I am glad to see everyone is doing well. I seem to keep one foot in the door by posting every couple of months... Go Sixers Go!!

Well...yesterday ended up being a success day instead of a failure! I went home (after my pizza lunch...remember?) and had a low cal chicken fajita (homemade) for dinner. After getting Kadence to bed, a sprawled on the couch and ended up eating 2 reduced fat graham crackers with 4 tbsp cool whip free (not horrible) but then proceeded to have THREE chocolate chip granola bars!!!!! YIKES!!!!! Was ready to give up on the day, but then caught a little of Biggest Loser on tv and it motivated me to get my butt off the couch and head down to the treadmill with my book (reading the Twightlight Saga). I ended up walking for an hour and a half and burning almost 500 calories!!!! YAY!!! So ended up eating within my calories for the day!!! I was THRILLED!!!!!

ANYways...need to get started on some work! Have a great morning ladies!!!
