So, my last post was full of excitement about The Zone, and the one before that was all about Low GI...and this is how my mind works...I've really been researching and trying to figure out a diet plan that will not only help control my PCOS but one that I can comfortably and easily stick to, and the more I look into these plans the less comfortable I've felt with them. Today I took my friend Meghan's lead and decided to go carb free for a couple of weeks. She's doing South Beach, but I'm trying to prove to myself that I can do it, as well as remind myself that I DON'T need bread/pasta/rice/potatoes with every meal to survive. I'm thinking that after conquering this major challenge (what can I say? I'm a serious carb addict!), I'm going to go back to the Weight Watchers Core plan, which is technically no more, but I did when it came out and I loved it, I still remember the "Core Foods List" and love the structured freedom it allows.
Tomorrow is my day off, and I'm going to start a new workout routine. I saw amazing results when I did 100 crunches a day, so I'm going to start with that again, as well as walking again. It's supposed to rain in the afternoon but I want to get some yard work done, because it REALLY needs to be done.
On another note, I'm slowly building my PCOS site up and just added personal stories from myself and my cousin, Annie. I'm hoping to get more stories from women I know with PCOS, as everyone's story is different and I want the very personal image of the condition to be clearly visible on my site.
Hello my name is MissC and I found you on NetworkedBlogs on FB. I also suffer from PCOS and I enjoy finding other woman and hearing their stories as well. Can't wait to start reading!
ReplyDeleteRachel--do you do 100 crunches at a time? Or how do you do it?
ReplyDeleteMiss C, so glad you found me! Hoping to start providing lots of good info of my journey soon!
ReplyDeleteBrit, when I *do* the 100 crunches (need to get back to it!) I usually do 50 reverse and then 50 regular, as the lower abs fatigue faster. Sometimes I'd switch it up and do bicycles to focus on the obliques. I do always try to just do them at once, that way they're done!
