Gearing up

September 19, 2012:  Cycle Day 19.  I started my Lupron injections today.  One in the a.m. and one in the p.m.  These are not too bad.  They use the little insulin syringes and just have to be given subcutaneously (under the skin).  They do sting a little.  I got Brian back by thumping him in his bare stomach though :-)

Saw my therapist today and talked about well stuff.  In total I have lost 55 pounds, although I keep gaining and losing those last 5 pounds over and over.  I lost the weight intentionally so that it would increase my chances of fertility.  I see my therapist every Wednesday and had been in the habit of weighing myself every Wednesday and then reporting my weight to her.  Well, since the kids have started school again it is hard to find a time in the morning to weigh because everyone knows you have to weigh completely naked to get the most accurate weight :-)

Anyways, I am going to try and limit my sugar intake because I have insulin resistance due to the PCOS and my sugar addiction is not going to help anything at all.  This morning for breakfast I had a banana.  I was hungry on the way home so instead of getting a mocha from McDonald's or Burger King or even a candy bar at the store, I got fruit smoothie from the store with no added sugar.  It was pretty good, but I still overate today :-(

There's me getting naked!!!

I really need to get my act together, exercise more, and eat less.

Tomorrow will be day two of the Lupron, and then I start "the big guns" on Friday.  Well, off to watch Here Comes Honey Boo Boo Child in a bit.  Yes, I watch that show and I love it and I am not ashamed!
