A journal of a 30ish woman who suffers from PCOS (google it folks) that is chronicling her weight loss while trying to raise two little mcbutterpants on a public forum. Hey I am hoping Oprah (I will take Ellen too) will read this and have me on her network!! I will make millions! And this face pretty much sums up how I am personality wise, but no matter I am awesome! Also, kids are hard to raise yo!
I thought this recipe looked good, you get cauliflower and it doesn't sound gross! If you guys have more ideas feel free to share with me in the comments section. I need all the ideas I can get. I do love to cook but since I am Mexican the things I cook are covered in cheese and some type of gravy so by all means recipes please. I am also trying to do more vegetarian recipes, yes I know I do live in Texas and beef is in our blood but man can't a girl not dine on rotting animal carcass just once.
Yes DiGiorno not only has frozen pizza but it has packaged with it cookies, not only that it comes with boneless "Wyngz" too. Really "Wyngz" that tells me its probably right up there as a chicken mcnugget made with "chyken." Well to be fair they are nestle toll house cookies which are delicious but still that is too much fatness all around. And they wonder why obesity is rising. (Don't judge me when you see me at HEB pulling it out of the freezer section because you will be there for the same reason.)
My dearest oldest friend, Ouiser (pronounced Weeza for those who have never seen Steel Magnolias which you should!!! and out of respect no real names will be used) pointed out that on my first post I misspelled exercise and put exorcise and she said it’s like you are exorcising the pounds away like demons. I think in the back of my mind I meant to do that because seriously fat is like a demon that just sucks your will to live. I mean come on how many of you have gone on Linda Blair rages when you can’t find any ice cream in your freezer and you start spouting out Latin and turning your head around 360. I know I have, ask Jonathan. Seriously I do equate exercising with exorcising because face it, it ain’t pretty, it’s hard, it hurts and in the end we are all covered in pea soup. Seriously have you watched Biggest Loser all those people just throw up every time they finish working out. Also our body contorts in ways it shouldn’t and there is a lot of screaming and sweating as Ouiser pointed out. I don’t know why but I hear in my head a southern preacher saying “We must EXORCISE the fat” or Reverend Brown from Coming to America saying, “If loving to eat is WRRRONG, I don’t wanna be right.” Well hey its true man I love to eat and I hate to EXORCISE!!! But in the end we need to get rid of the fat/demon but I hope when I lose weight my fat doesn’t leap onto someone else ala Exorcist (Spoiler Alert demon leaps into young priest and then he gets killed). Exercising is good for your mind and your body. I just need to motivate myself to do it. Luckily I found a deal online 20 classes for 20 bucks to Zumba. I am going to do it!!! I asked Jonathan to join me but he passed. Surprise Surprise. Though I do find when I have buddies to work out with I do make myself exercise more. When it’s just me, man I am good at talking myself out of it:
Me: Delena you need to go for a walk
Me: You are right I do
Me: Well are you?
Me: Meh its cold outside and I have hot chocolate being brewed in my Keurigand I am already in my PJs
But it doesn't have to be. I am posting an article I was emailed about the Healthiest Foods from Real Simple.com
So read about eating healthy foods, I will get to it right after I finish this snickers bar. Just kidding but seriously. I am happy to report I do eat most of these healthy foods but do I do it most of the time, well if I did I wouldn't be writing this blog, hmmm. So next goal eat more of these foods on this list, it isn't rocket science folks but somehow it can be just as daunting. I will have more posts soon about my progress.
Well this is my first post on chronicling my weight loss and my struggles on keeping it off. Hmm where to begin. About 4 years ago I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and wow was that a shocker. Not really I had already suspected I had it since I am a hypochondriac and always do a self diagnosis, I have had cancer four times in my head to date thanks to Web MD. Anyways Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) basically affects 1 in 9 women and causes your hormones to go crazy and in the middle of all that mess its harder to lose weight and even causes one to gain weight. Exhibit A which is me. So yeah I finally have a good reason to be fat, it ain't me its my hormones, oh you silly hormones. Well as I read about the bad things that happen to women with PCOS I realized hmm maybe I should try to be healthy because if I decide to ignore bad things will happen to my body. Wavy picture dream sequence....<cue Price is Right Announcer> "Delena Martello COOOOOOOOOOOOOOME ON DOWWWWWWN" Picture me wearing my Funster T-Shirt and getting to the podium. Drew Carrey looks at me and says "look at what you get if you decide to continue to do nothing about it....Heart Disease!!!!!!!!! Diabeeetus!!!!! Infertility!!!!!
Yeah who knew Hormone Imbalance was a crazy harpy that reeks havoc on your body. Yeah well she does and she is a b**ch. I have 3 books on PCOS and not one of them says well just sit on your fat butt and just let it go, your hormones will balance someday. Yeah but they all do say proper diet and exorcise will help control PCOS and decrease your chances of heart disease and diabetes and increase your fertility. Boooooo I am lazy and don't they know I like to eat sugar by the cupfuls and sit on my ever widening a** watching the food network. Oh Paula Deen how I love your "butta" balls fried in peanut "Oyall". Don't they know my husband is an enabler who is just as weak as me. "Jonathan what do you want for dinner, we can cook a healthy meal together and cherish our marriage in that we share in all our experiences together" riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight, more like "Jonathan, what do you want for dinner, how about some crappy frozen pizza that is 1,000 calories per serving with 80% of your daily serving of sodium." Here on my blog I will post my stories and pictures of a healthier me. Hey I am not Jennifer Hudson or Kirstie Alley or Valerie Bertanelli but I will be like them and get in my bikini in no time, buwahahahaha seriously at least a one piece where I don't look like a beluga whale or confused for a seal that is sunbathing. And yes I will do this because I have the Eye of the Tiger,< cue Survivor Eye of the Tiger>
