PCOS, I will defeat you!

In my last post I talked about my frustration with not losing any weight, especially since I was already 6 weeks into P90X. As far as I know, mid-week 8, I still haven't lost weight. But one thing has changed. I FINALLY made the commitment to go low-carb, high-protein cold turkey. I started this yesterday, in conjunction with taking the prescribed metformin. So far it has been pretty miserable. Thankfully I've been on the other side of the carbo "purge" my body is currently going through, so I know that it's worth it to stick with it. However, that doesn't make it any fun. Constant gurgling stomach, frequent emergency trips to the bathroom, and some pretty bad headaches are all par for the course.
BUT.... I know that within the next 2 weeks, my body will stop craving the carbs and will start craving the proteins. I will be used to not eating the carbs and I will feel so much better. And... I know for a fact that along with P90X (and when I'm done with that, Insanity!) this eating lifestyle will help me to drop the poundage quickly. My goal is to try to lose 5 pounds by the end of July, and another 15 pounds on August. That will officially get me to my pre-baby weight. Once there, I will tackle the rest of the 35-40 pounds like crazy! How cool would it be if I could hit my ideal weight by the end of the year?
So... as long as I don't waiver in my eating, journal everything that goes into my mouth, and stay accountable on this blog and on facebook, I know that I will have success. And, of course, I can only do any of this by the grace of God, who has charged me to take care of the one body he has given me. I am thankful that in spite of my weight I am healthy!
