View CELAWLOR's food & exercise for this day
I am still not feeling 100% today. I did get to sleep in larger chunks last night, though. I still don't really feel bad, either, except for my sinuses feeling like I have marshmallows in 'em. Eewwwww.
I am just sitting in my chair, keeping it warm, this morning. I feel bad for the girl in the Air Force who is crash dieting. I am going to keep her in my prayers today. None of us knows what she is really going through, but I do hope that she gets medical advice. Those people that get that stomach shrinking surgery don't take in many calories, but they are usually okay. However, they are under close medical supervision. It must be okay, to some extent, to do something like that under the right circumstances.
I have pondered going on a very low calorie diet for the short term to get under 300 lbs, but I need to be healthy more than I need to be thin. I also would rather spend the time in the gym that I would be using to sit in a doctor's office waiting to be evaluated every other day, or whatever. As of today, I have no known health problems caused by my excess weight so there is no big need to drop it ASAP. I guess one could argue that PCOS is caused by weight, but that is like the chicken and the egg debate. Which came first? The weight or the PCOS? No one really knows. However, I do know that when my weight drops, my PCOS symptoms mostly go away and I no longer have to take birth control pills. So, there is some correlation.....
I noticed some strange wear on the sole of my right shoe this morning. I must be walking weird to cause that kind of wear. I am going to pay more attention to how I am walking to figure out why I am causing that wear on my shoe. It looks like I am pivoting my right foot while I am walking, but not the left...hmmm. Strange. Perhaps I should have been a scientist instead of an accountant. I am always investigating things that catch my attention. Or maybe some ritalin would do? LOL.
Update: The doctor says I have a sinus infection. That is what I expected. I am now on antibiotics and decongestants. Yay! Maybe I will be able to sleep tonight.
We went to our favorite salad bar this evening. WOW! I can't believe how many calories were in my salad--BEFORE THE SALAD DRESSING! I added all the ingredients to my diary in the quanties that I think I had. Holly crap! I am going to have to rethink my strategy there!!! I ate over half my daily allowance! I am stunned...simply stunned.
Guess it goes without saying that I went over in calories today...but I didn't mean to.

I did a search for PCOS blogs, and I know this was blogged a year ago... but I have PCOS... and I think it comes before the weight gain. It is linked to diabetes in my opinion, and it can cause weight gain and be aggrevated by weight gain, but I do think the weight triggers it... not causes it. PCOS is actually a symptom of Insulin Resistance and this day and age we put so much processed food and refined carbs and sugar into our system it's no wonder so many more people are being diagnosed with it. Oh well, just wanted to add my two cents... My sister and I both have PCOS and I have researched the topic and diet to death.
