PCOS

The fact that I was recently diagnosed with Polycycstic Ovarian Syndrome has got me in a bit of a flap the last 12 hours. And it was the reason why I got about 2 hours max sleep last night. Not feeling so excellent this morning.

I went online to see what the best workouts/exercises are for when you have this condition (which is renown for making weight loss difficult and for causing excess fat to be stored around the waist area! Joy!) and the horror stories I saw about people not being able to lose it, and putting it on speaker exercising and dieting got me all in a tizz and a panic! 

So I tried to be productive instead of negative. I read that yoga is very important because of the fact that it relaxing you and reduces areas levels-as apparently stress levels play a big part on the symptoms of pcos - do I ordered a 4 DVD yoga set with excellent reviews (Total Yoga Collection from Amazon) and a yoga mat! Plus I read that strength training is very important in raising your insulin levels which pcos have lacking-and the reviews for Jillian Michaels '30 Day Shred' DVD were great, and she is even a PCOS sufferer herself and her DVDs incorporate both strength and cardio circuit training so perfect. And just £5 from amazon- - little bargain!

Today I've made an executive to have a rest day-after working my butt off for 5 out of 6 days my body is crying out for a little rest, and I know letting your muscles recover is just as important. Plus with my poor mind in overdrive I'm worn out physically and mentally. Tomorrow I will begin either the level one Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred (on YouTube) before my DVD arrives or find a yoga YouTube video to try! 

I WILL do this! I HAVE to!
