First week has begun

Hello and happy Sunday night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Well, it's been two days of change so far and I have to say, I am kicking some ass!!  I went to the store and stocked up on lean meats, veggies, eggs, fruit and brown products (rice, bread, pasta)....Happy to report that it has been 2 days with no caffeine and though the headaches have been coming and going, it's nothing that will stop me from this change!

Tomorrow after work I start HEAT yoga, which will help rid me of these toxins that are in my body, and it might also be offensive as I have eaten a TON of broccoli, so hopefully that doesn't start coming out of my pores!

I started reading this book called the Insulin-Resistance Diet and they use the link system, which means you can eat carbs, but you have to link protein with it, for example:

Every two hours you can eat 30 grams of carbs (meaning 2 servings of 15 grams), for each 15 grams of carbs, you should also have 7 grams of protein, so 30g of carbs = 14g of protein...

If you get hungry before the two hours are up then have some protein or veggies to hold you over!

Also, did you know that 2 out of 3 people are considered to be insulin-resistant???? TRUE!


I attached the checklist to review to see if you might be insulin-resistant, it says if you have three or more you could be!!!!

I'm back and it's SERIOUS

Well well well.....It has been a long time and the only thing that has changed about me is my health...here is the latest as of this morning

Thyroid has gotten worse, I am suffering from acid reflux and I am insulin resistant!!! For those that dont know what being insulin resistant let me tell you what I know this far!

I am not diabetic
I am pre diabetic
I will take the same meds as a diabetic (Metformin)
This has caused me to have PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome)
  • PCOS stops me from ovulating
  • Jacks up my period
CAN CAUSE UTERINE CANCER
  • for those who dont know...my mother died from uterine cancer
This is no longer about me wanting to be skinny, this is about me knowing where my health is heading and doing something about it

Now I must live like a diabetic and take care of myself as one with food and exercise.

I picked up my prescriptions today and a pill seperator, because within a matter of minutes I became 80 years old and I take A LOT of meds. 

So, here I start again, my progess will be tracked on here, please follow!!! I NEED SUPPORT!

Also, if you want to join fitness pal, friend me there, I will be taking my tracking there as well.

Thanks for joining me.....Talk to you again really soon
