FUCK. YEAH
So for the past couple of days I have been putting in a LOT of hours at work. I did a 12 hr and 14 hr shift and today will be 10 hrs and I am sad. I wanna workout but these hrs are ridiculous. So does anybody know of any office workouts that I can do?
movie was soooo freaking good.
I am having a Captain America/Thor moment right now….
I’m not sure who looks better… Don’t get me wrong. Thor looks GODdamn Sexy
But something about Captain America just bunches my shorts… in all the right places LOL. Crunchitize me Captain!!
Who do you prefer??
Also I will start running again when I get home!! (yayyy) So any music suggestions? I listen to ANYTHING/EVERYTHING… except country, but I am willing to give that a try if it is running music worthy.
Soooo, I will get it together hopefully by the weekend.
While I’m gone, I’m taking suggestions on how to improve my blog!! So Plz, leave a message! Thanks
Thank you sooo much!!! I want to stress that eating healthy is a HUGGGE part of it. But it’s not only how many calories you eat. It is WHAT you eat. There are a lot of foods that have hormones in them (foods you wouldn’t even expect) and for someone with PCOS this is very important to pay attention to. Because these hormones can mess with the balance of hormones in your body. So not only did I severely limit my intake on breads, pastas, etc (and it was SOOO hard, I LOVE pasta) I tried to eat organic fruits and veggies. I cut out red meat almost entirely except for special occasions (not really a problem because I barely eat it anyways) and I tried (when affordable) to buy cage free/natural organic meats (chicken/turkey and fish).
As for exercise. I did high intensity cardio workouts (Insanity) which I have links to on my blog….somewhere and I started running. It wasn’t easy because my motto used to be “Gia. Don’t. RUN.” not for the bus, not for the train not for anything. But then one day my bf asked me “why?” and I told him because I don’t like it and then he asked “how can you not like something you never tried?” So I was then determine to try it just so I could tell him I didn’t like it! Lol (because I’m silly like that) and to be honest I don’t like it, the burning in your chest, fire in your legs, and the pains in your side. Who would? But running is like… the best exercise for you so I try to do it.
I’m not good at it at all, but I get a little better every time..
I also notice that I get to places faster now that I caught that bus and that train lol.
May is a very important month for me for several reasons. I was told I had PCOS four years ago May 2008. And from them like most women with PCOS I was given Metformin. I took this for a year. And all the way up to the last months I was taking it, I was still experiencing the same side effects that people who just started Metformin were having, so I stopped taking it. So in May 2009 my doctor switched me over to birth control pills. I’m not really sure what brand it was or what ever, I didn’t know much about PCOS to begin with. I just took it because my doctor told me to. There is no cure and basically this is the next best thing to being “normal.”
I guess to them normal was just a word that meant regular periods. But that was it. I didn’t feel normal at all. And I talked to my doctor about how I felt about taking pills for the rest of my life (not happy) and the doctor seemed like I was putting a huge load on their hands. She advised me to “work” with her by trying to lose weight.
For those of you who actually read my posts (previous ones) I did take birth control pills for two years with exercise and trying to eat healthy and I gained weight rather than losing it. So in May 2011 I decided that I didn’t want to do this any more. I stopped seeing me doctor (I know I know crazy but people do crazy things) AND I stopped taking birth control. In May 2011 I told myself I would do this on my own. Eat right, exercise right, and not rely and drugs to get me where I need to be. And up till now starting from May 2011 I..
-lost over 30lbs
-have had a regular period EVERY month
-built muscle AND endurance
-gained confidence in myself
-ate LIKE A BOSS (a healthy boss)
I wasn’t craving junk foods like I used to, I joined a fitness club at my school. I feel good about myself. That I’m actually doing it. So this May (2012) I am making new goals for myself, for this summer. Not just for my physical but also my mental health.
This is why May is important to me. An important turning point in my life…
Oh yeah and my birthday is in May (the 29th) turning 21 \ >.< / (yayy)
WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF ughhhhhh took me so long to grow it.
