I am Unique and I am Confused by it!

I went and had a blood test done at Saturday. The results came back and I went and consulted with my doctor about them. I am very interested in why the results say this because PCOS is linked with high cholesterol. However, I am unique and I have really low cholesterol, too low. So low she put me on cholesterol supplements immediatly. We do not know the cause of it. I still have PCOS and I am still having a little bit of problems with my blood sugar but it is going down and becoming more normal.
What I have learned tonight about cholesterol is a lot. It controls your hormones in your body anywhere from the estrogen to happiness. I have problems in both. Now that I have researched it, I can see how I have PCOS and Low cholesterol. My doctor says I am the first person she has heard of that has PCOS with low cholesterol. It has to be very rare because I have to research them separatley. They never come up together.

Country Concert, Pumpkins, Snow!

A few weeks ago we had a chance to go to a country concert of Pam Tillis. James is a fan and I know of a few songs she sings like "Memphis." I don't know if that is the real name of it but I hope you know what song I am talking about. Unfortuntaley, we both forgot our cameras. We did take pictures with our phones, but they didn't show up too well.


It snowed a few weeks ago. It hasn't snowed much more than this. I am and so are many others disapointed by how little snow we have. We NEED more. It is supposed to snow on Thursday- Saturday so hopefully that will help things move along. The darkness comes around 6:30 PM and leaves around 8:30 AM. I haven't seen any negative temperatures yet, but they are coming. We have seen single digits and I think there was a night at 0 degrees.


Pumpkin carving time! Here are our pumpkins for this year. Mine is supposed to say, Goblin Goodies, Dusk to Dawn" BUt I had some issues with the knife breaking and wasn't able to finish. So This is as good as it will get. :-( (Note my skin in this picture. It has really cleared up with being on this diet. I have not pinpointed the reason it has cleared up, except I do know it has something to do with the diet. My suspicion is food allergy.)

Well...

I am no longer stuck at 11.5 pounds. I have lost 13.5. It has been slowing down lately, which I expect. I also am over half way to my goal. I want to be the weight I was when James and I got married.
Nothing else has been happening with the PCOS other than weight. I have a blood test in a few weeks to test my hormone and blood sugar levels.
Not much has been happpening other than working out, and going to work. Sally has been begging for attention because no more walks. She is getting better with the treadmill, but hasn't warmed up to it enough that she gets on without a treat.
It snowed the day before yesterday and today, but hasn't stuck past noon yet. It will soon though.

Frustrated with Palteau

I hit one of those plateaus that everyone gets while losing weight. I have been stuck at 11.5 pounds all week. Although I have lost another 1/2 in around my waist so something is happening at least. That is a total of 3 inches. I am still considered over weight.:-(
