Babsie's Summer Slam
For those that do not know me here, my name is Krystie. Nice to meet you.
 I'm starting this journal because it's something I need to do. Something about TIME I put into action, into play & into REALITY! I would talk about the past, and why I'm doing this today - But, I'm not going to. The past is the past, is the past and that's where it shall remain. From this day forward I pledge to be: Focused Optomistic Consistent Successful Elated Veracious Healthy Eat Clean Train Hard Partake in Cardiovascular Activities Post Daily/Nightly Be everything I CAN be, and BE everything that is within my control. Goal: Lose Weight & Inches Stay Positive Cardio Days: Tuesday - 30 to 45min Thursday - 30 to 45min Saturday - 30 to 45min Weight Training Days: Monday - Back, Shoulder, Tri & Bi Wednesday - Legs Thursday - Chest/Cardio Caloric Plan High Protein Mod. to low Carb Low Fat High Fibre Note: I will post stats this evening. For the sake of everyones eyes and well being, no pics will be posted until desired results have been acheived, Or noticable changes can be seen via picture. Training & meals will be updated daily. I am currently NOT taking any supplements - not intersted either. Multi-Vitamin is as far as it goes for the first 30days. Current medication - Nexium and Prednisone. Tomorrow I have a doctors appt - who knows what they're going to put me on next. I have been out of the journal scene. Let me know if I've missed something (if anyone is reading this.) Thanks Babs |

Thanks Gary and Monstar
 Britchick - thanks hon!! FYI - All stats will be posted Monday. Thought it would be best to start fresh off a new week vs. mid week. I still worked out and such. Yesterdays appt went very well I thought. Dr said he's going to help me with my weight gain due to Lupron, Clomid, Dexamethasone and Prednisone. Good news!!! No other doctor was willing to help me. I'm off Prednisone and MAYBE in 2 weeks, I'll be on something else to help control PCOS. It all depends on my lab results. Wish me luck - hopefully I qualify. |

Welcome back Babsie! It's nice to have you here, I've missed you. Good luck with your goals, I know you'll reach them and we are going to keep you accountable!

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Hey Rock!!!
Thanks - i've missed you too. How's the wife? Good - Keep me in check Britchick - Thanks hon. I'm nervous. I seriously hope and pray I qualify. It'll be a real bummer to go there thinking I'm going to go through with their program and not be approved. Do you know what PCOS is? I'll do a search and post something about it in a bit so you all know what it is I have. Thanks for staying with me hon B - You ALWAYS know how to make me smile and feel good about who I am. I'm counting on you. This is going to be tough for me. I just need to stay head strong!! How are you liking the new hours? BBGirl - I was on Prednisone for 3 weeks and gained 12 pounds. I finally got to 178 and now back to 190. Noticed when I came off it I've been having joint pain. Thanks for the luck hon. |

What is PCOS? (Link included)
PCOS: Overview
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common problems affecting women. PCOS can affect menstrual cycles, fertility, and hormone levels, as well as appearance, including acne, facial hair growth and female pattern balding (thinning of the hair on the top of the scalp with preservation of the hairline). It is also a metabolic problem that affects several body systems. The condition gets its name because there are often an increased number of small painless cysts in the ovaries (polycystic ovaries). The syndrome is defined by hormonal problems and an irregular menstrual cycle, with or without polycystic ovaries. PCOS is sometimes called "ovarian androgen excess," because the ovaries start producing male hormones (androgens) in slightly increased amounts. It is important to note the difference between ovaries with cysts and PCOS. Polycystic ovaries are often, but not always, seen in women with PCOS. The condition also can affect women's self-esteem and psychological health because of the baffling symptoms (click here for a list of possible symptoms). The first signs of PCOS may be the growth of facial and body hair, hair thinning, acne, and weight gain. However, women who are thin can also have PCOS. A woman may find that she is infertile, unable to become pregnant. Some women may suffer from depression because of the severity of these symptoms or simply because of the workings of the disease itself. A specialist familiar with this syndrome, such as an endocrinologist is the best source for diagnosing this condition. Women with PCOS may have a number of seemingly unrelated symptoms. The diagnosis of PCOS diagnosis is made in several different ways, including taking your medical history, performing a physical exam, and checking your hormone levels, (or say "and possibly looking at your ovaries by ultrasound"). The cause of PCOS is unknown, although some scientists believe people may be able to inherit the condition. There is still no cure for PCOS. Doctors can only treat symptoms. Even though there is no cure, certain treatments are helping women to lead healthier and more satisfying lives. http://www.hormone.org/learn/pcos_1.html |

Hubby is the same - SLOWLY progressing. Where's the fast forward button to reality when you need it lol. The girls are healthy - so I'm happy. They fight like crazy and drive me bonkers  Brianna (my youngest) lost a tooth while riding her bike at the sitters this summer. Dentist ended up having to pull it. Her tooth broke away from the root and the root split in half. We won't know if she damaged her adult tooth until it comes in. I swear that girl is hell on wheels when she rides. Kiley (aka Miss Priss) graduated to a training bra - so she's happy.Sunday I purchased a puppy. German Shepherd. Her name is: Miss Bear I'm trying to feel better. Just mentally with all that has gone wrong in my life the past 2 years is hard to deal with. I'm trying though. Trying and praying there is hope for me yet, you know. I'm scared for the girls and hope I'm here long enough to watch them grow into ladies. I'm just sad and I pray this journa, friends and Endorcrin Doctor can help me. If I could just do one more competition - I would be happy but that's not going to happen. Would be nice though.As for how I feel (regarding w/o) - My chest is sore. That's about it for now Last edited by BabsieGirl : 08-02-2005 at 02:01 PM. |

Hey Babsie,
Thanks for posting that piece on PCOS, I was aware of it but didn't know the full extent of how bad it can be. You're one tough cookie and I admire you for attacking this with avengence and not being willing to be a victim to it... good for you!!! Have fun with your new pup, I've had my two greyhounds for about 4 months now and couldn't imagine being without them. Stay strong Babsie, I'm routing for you. |

I fell victim, gave in/up and accepted the person I was on the outside. Just recently a friend convinced me otherwise. Reminded me how strong I am. A little push, and a LOT of reminding turn the switch from "off" mode, to "on" mode. I'm back and am bound to give it 100%. All I can do is try, fight and stay head strong. Awww, greyhounds are adorable!!! We'll have to share photos |
