Happy New year...

The beginning of a new year often means a fresh start for many people. They make promises or resolutions, many of which are not kept. In weight watchers, we know to show up a little bit earlier in the first few weeks because many people show up having made a resolution to lose weight. Many don't stick with it, or any of the other resolutions we have made. I for one never make a resolution. I don't like the idea. What I want to do is have a blessings jar for the new year. I want to write down all the good things that happen in the year, and on new years eve I want to sit down and look back on all the good things of the year.

With this year, I hope that it brings a new addition to the family. I hope that by the end of year there is a little one in our arms. I hope and pray that we are provided that little miracle. I am also so thankful for the wonderful godly women put into my life who have had similar experiences as me. To be clear, the Dr never said I had PCOS. He never used those words, but as I conversed with these women over the last few days, and by doing some reading, I have come to realize that it is exactly what I have. It is complicated by the Prolactinoma I had, but everything has been made clear as I was reading. I downloaded the The PCOS Workbook: your guide to complete physical and emotional health, and boy was the first chapter eye opening. I will post later my thoughts as I work through this book, but as I read, I was like, Yep that is me. Wow that is me.

So I am going to try a low glycemic index diet with my weight watchers plan. I am going to still count my points, still watch portions (because that is what WW is really about), but I am going to also limit the carbs. I am going to stick to the more complex carbs, eat more proteins, fruits, and vegetables. I am going to eat more whole foods versus processed foods. More water instead of soda. Just in general be more healthy than I am at the moment. It can't hurt, it can only help, and with this book and information, I now know the right questions to ask.
