Fighting PCOS Naturally

The last few days have been an uphill/downhill roller coaster battle with myself. I know that it has something to do with my medications - Doc bumped one of my anti-depressants up and it made me angry and violent again, so I dropped back down. Now that I ran out of the lower dosage, I have to call doc and get him to adjust the Rx so I can get more. It's been really frustrating to realize medications are not going to completely fix my problems. As long as I continue to depress myself about our current childless situation, my meds will not fix me. I have to learn to fix myself. I have to learn that I am awesome without being a mom. I need to learn that I don't know what the future will hold, and things could change a million times between now and then. I need to learn the concept of 'happy' again. Someone in my support group said "You don't need children to be happy, that is just an illusion caused by society". I know that she was just trying to help me fee...

(This was from the first week of October. I was going to put pictures in it, but never got around to taking them.) This week: - 5 days of work - 1 flare-up - First walking group walk (which included two laps around the pond instead of one!) - Shopping with Mom at Grapevine Mills:       * New doormat with bright owls that says 'Who's there?'      * Floor length knit dress      * Monopoly U-Build It game - Shopping with Mom and Memaw at Stein Mart      * Polka dot heels with peek-a-boo toes      * Peacock feather flip flops      * Short sleeve blue knee length dress - First week of Soul Cyster Weight Loss Challenge - First week of Pregnitude - Picked next tattoo design, now to work on colors (reward for meeting goal at end of challenge) And it ended with game night with hubby. We played a round of our new Monopoly game, then hopped on our computers for some mop...

This evening, hubby and I went to the Bedford Food Truck Festival. It was within walking distance, and the weather was great, so we walked. There were five trucks - taco, pizza, sushi, slushies and vegetarian. I went solely for Good Karma Kitchen , and I got hubby excited about Slush Works . I made a bee-line to Good Karma Kitchen. Today's menu included Crazy Good Tacos, Korean BBQ tacos, Reverse Frito Pie, and Crazy Good Taco Salad. Hubby got giddy about the frito pie, and I chose the taco salad. Frito pie had tri-bean and veggie chili, frito chips and cheese. He inhaled it. The taco salad had a taco crumble, jalapeno lime cream sauce, spring greens, beans, cheese and tortilla chips. It was fantastic. The jalapeno added just a little kick. The prices were a little higher than I had hoped, having spent $17. But it was very satisfying and a yummy vegan meal. Hubby said he could live on that chili if he 'had' to go vegetarian. It gives me hope for reducing our meat consumpt...
