My OB/Gyn got on me about my weight. My hubby and I have been talking about having kids. Unfortunately, I have PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), which can make things, though not impossible, a little more difficult than for the average couple trying to get pregnant. My doc told me that my excess weight can make it more difficult to get pregnant. He also told me that if I get pregnant at my current weight that I will become diabetic. Not a good thing. He put me on a prescription for chlomid, to help with the whole ovulation thing, and also on metformin (brand name Glucophage) for the potentially diabetic thing.
Spring cleaning
Anyways, I've got to get my act together. I've got a lot of things that I need to change. I need to start taking better care of myself and my hubby.
I started a massive cleaning this weekend. Still nowhere near finished. It's taking a long time because my hubby and I are going through things and throwing out what we don't need. This will probably be a week-long process. I've really let the house, and myself, go. I don't want to end up as a crazy old fat lady starring in a TLC special on hoarding.
Making a menu
I talked to my hubby about setting up a menu for the week that we stick to. He's all for it, which is good. We've got one night to be "bad" -- Mexican food night on Thursday. The rest of the week through Saturday lunch is planned out with healthy meals. I've already done the grocery shopping to limit my opportunities to make excuses.
Tonight's dinner: Salad
Spinach and spring greens mix
Walnuts
Bleu cheese
Fat-free raspberry vinaigrette
I was going to put apples in it, too, but I forgot them. Still, not bad. For dessert, light yogurt.
Recommitted
Now that I've got at least one person reading my blog, I will try to be more faithful about regularly posting. And with an audience, I feel more like I've got someone to answer to.
Thanks for reading, and good night.
