PCOS Diet Day 4 *Update* {10.02.2014}

Welcome!

Today I want to go over a few things before my diet update. First, I totally forgot to weigh myself so I'm just going to leave that blank. I was so late this morning and it totally slipped my mind. Second, I want to show you photos of what a typical breakfast looks like for me! 

So this ^ is my delicious and filling breakfast! It includes: 1 boiled egg, 1 branch of green grapes (there were more but I ate then lol), and 1 stick of mozzarella. This is a great PCOS breakfast and it really does fill you up. If you don't think it will be enough, try adding an extra egg or more grapes. 

Ok, so now I will go ahead and show you my stats for day 4!

PCOS Diet Day 4

Weight (day 1 morning): 

174.6

Weight (day 4 morning): 

no weight taken

Weight lost: ------

Food today:

B- boiled egg, green grapes, mozzarella stick

S1- pumpkin seeds

L- salad with olive oil & vinegar and grilled chicken

S2- orange

D- chicken, mushrooms, and zucchini all cooked in coconut oil. I did add some olive oil to the mushrooms to help cook it.

S3- nothing tonight

Energy: really great! I was very awake and alert. I don't know if it is the coconut oil, healthy eating, or the fact that we went to bed at 9:30-10pm rather than 10:30pm...either way, I felt very happy today and had a smile all day!

Anything else: I guess those cramps yesterday meant something because today, anytime I wipe, a small and very light, almost non-existent amount of blood shows up. The first time, I thought something was wrong until I wiped again and saw the light pink coloration. So maybe AF is coming tomorrow and that hopefully means good things. Only 4 days on this PCOS diet and some progress is seen...let's just hope it's not a fake-out. I'll let you know what happens tomorrow, but shocked to see that something is happening. 

**************************************************

Tomorrow, I will be doing a "how-to" video. I wanted to show you how I cook with coconut oil, and what I use. I think you'll enjoy it! This weekend, I will be posting my PCOS Diet Meal Planning, Prepping, & Organization so stay tuned for that!!!

PCOS Diet Day 3 *Quick Update* {10.01.2014}

I think from now on I will just do these nightly updates because try are really helpful for me to track my progress, and maybe you can get some ideas for meals if you want to join the diet. So here is my diet day 3 update...

PCOS Diet Day 3

Weight (day 1 morning): 174.6

Weight (day 2 morning): 173.6

Weight lost: 1.0

Food today:

B- boiled egg, green grapes, mozzarella stick

S1-  pumpkin seeds

L- salad with oil & vinegar with chicken

S2- pineapple

D- I totally cheated y'all! But after having one cheat night I can honestly say that I would much rather choose the healthy food because it doesn't weigh me down or make me feel like crap!

S3- lemon and salt

Energy: pretty good! Until I cheated on dinner by eating wings, but I'm determined to never eat that again because it made me feel gross!

Anything else: cramps have been pretty bad, maybe this is AF arriving (please let it be AF). Oh, I am loving the taste of coconut oil and have started eating it supplementally. 

**************************************************

That's all I've got tonight! Hope you enjoyed my post from this morning and that it have you some inspiration to decorate for Fall! Looking forward to posting again tomorrow! Have a wonderful night.

PCOS Diet Plan Day 1 {09.29.2014}

So far, we are off to a good strat! It was so, so nice being able to wake up and just grab my food and go! Meal prep has been a HUGE sigh of relief for me because now I can take those extra few minutes to wake up and get dressed. One of the things that shocked me, was that I felt full all day! I was even struggling to eat my tiny pumpkins seeds, but managed to make 1/2 a cup an all day snack...impressive! Lunch was boring, but dinner was where it was at! I got home, cut up my zucchini and asparagus, threw my chicken in a pan and cooked all of it in coconut oil. It was one of the best meals I've ever made! Even the hubby, who was a little worried about the taste and texture of the coconut oil, was amazed at how delicious the meal turned out. Best part...I only used two seasonings! Cajun seasoning for the zucchini and asparagus, and a salt and pepper pre-mixed blend for the chicken. I was also impressed with the color of the chicken. It was a beautiful golden brown on the outside, but white and juice on the inside. I guess you could say that I am really into coconut oil now. After a bath, I decided to rub some coconut oil on my face, underarms, and belly. It's a very relaxing feel, not too oily but not too thick like lotion. So this means that I have officially jumped onto the coconut oil wagon at full speed ahead!!! While we are talking food (& coconut oil lol) I wanted to go ahead and post my "stats" from the first day of my diet. Check them out...

PCOS Diet Day 1

Weight (morning): 174.6

Weight (evening): 175.6

Weight lost: gained 1 lb.

Food today:

B- boiled egg, green grapes, and mozzarella string cheese stick

S1- pumpkin seeds

L- salad with olive oil and red wine vinegar

S2- pineapple

D- pan fried chicken in coconut oil, pan fried zucchini in coconut oil, and pan cooked asparagus in coconut oil

S3: a lemon

Energy: blah...not high, not low but managed to get a lot of things done without feeling stressed

Anything else: still just waiting for my period to arrive, hoping that this coconut oil will work it's major quickly. I was shocked to see I gained 1 lb. but I've been told that you are heavier at night, so I'm looking forward to what my weight will be in the morning

**************************************************

Well that's my update for day 1! I am really enjoying it so far. It's not all that different from what the hubs and I used to eat, but the major difference is that before we didn't necessarily have a reason to eat on a diet, now it's to help me fight PCOS and hopefully be blessed with our Rainbow Baby! I'm so looking forward to the day that we can say we conceived naturally, and although I would be just as happy to conceive with a doctors assistance, just the joy of being able to say that we beat the odds is something we dream of daily! 

I'm still looking for a few PCOS buddies who are willing to take this diet plan and run with it alongside me. If that's you, then please email me at pcospower@yahoo.com, or comment to me on our Instagram page at PCOSPower! 

Lots of well wishes and tons of baby dust to all!

Much Love and God Bless
