New Beginnings

Okay, so.

I've done the el jay thing. I've even done the blog thing.

But this is the first time I've truly done the "better yourself" blog thing.

This is that thing.

I'm currently going forward in a quest to better myself physically, mentally, all those sorts of aspects that you attempt to fix. I've never been good about motivation, but surprisingly enough, if I have someone to kick my ass once in awhile, or hold me accountable, then I can do decently well.

So.

Here is the rundown.

According to my shiny orange scale from IKEA, I am currently 164 lbs. As I'm 5'3", that's nowhere near my ideal weight. According to the BMI, which I know isn't the best indicator, but you know, I need to be at least down to 140 lbs. to be considered out of the overweight stage.

I have PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), which is the reason that I gained a lot of the weight I have today. I am pre-diabetic, also due to my PCOS.

Currently I have been put on Metformin and Yaz by one of my doctor's to help with my weight and hormonal issues. I am also currently going through laser hair removal for the hair growth I've had on my neck and face due to the PCOS.

Can you tell that I love the PCOS? God damn bastard.

Anywho. I'm going to use this blog to keep track of my diet (as well as I can remember), to remark about my exercise, the stuff I do to keep myself physically and mentally healthy, my disease, etc.

Read or not, comment or not, it's up to you. I would love to hear feedback and information from my friends about what they think about my progress and bitching and such, but I understand if you don't.

I'm doing this for me, whatever that entails. So. To quote that illustrious show, "Kenan and Kel"...

Aw, here it goes!
