Yes, I am embarking on changes in the New Year. It does feel cliche but in some ways it also feels right.
With PCOS, weight can be a main roadblock and factor of infertility. I, like many other PCOSers, have a weight issue. I have lost and gained numerous times in the last 10 years. The last time was about two years ago and it was going really well, I felt great. I wasn't following a set diet just a lifestyle and was losing weight consistently. Then I went through an injectable cycle with IUI and became pregnant, only to have an early miscarriage. It derailed my focus and in the past two years, I have slowly put back on the weight that I lost.
So, here I am, giving it another go. My main focus is going to be healthy (lots of fruits and veggies) and very low refined carbs and sugars. I found that I feel my best when I don't eat anything white. Pair this with moderate exercise, I think I will be able to chip away at this weight in a healthy manner.
Okay, so I have no problems eating healthy, I like all kinds of foods. My main problem, or should I say vices are: coffee and alcohol. I like to have both. I have two strong cups of coffee a day and will have a drink with dinner (and maybe a few more on the weekends). All the reading I have done about PCOS and optimum fertility is that I should eliminate both! NOOOOOOOOO! I am not in the right place to be able to do both right now. I know that I can (have done so before) but I don't like it!!!
I am currently loaded with healthy recipes, a grocery list and energy to get motivate! Wish me luck!
