Working out

I am not sure what a good work out program would be. As in previous post, I mention we are ttc but what I haven't mention yet is that I've PCOS. I knew something is wrong with me for a long time. I have very irregular periods and sometimes go a long long time without them. I eat pretty healthy (I think) sometimes I won't say I don't ever eat chips or other junk food but I don't think I eat them that often. Plus I am pretty over weight. Before I got married, my doctor puts me on birth control. She said it isn't healthy to go so long with out periods. After I got married, I decide I want to kind of fix this as I want kids and birth control is going in the opposite direction. As soon as I stop the birth control pills I started to gain lot of weight. I think since the wedding day I have gain more then 20lb. I am orginally not a skinny person but I am now 160lb and 5'2.

I decided to go see a Chinese herblist/doctor as I wanted to take a more natural route if possible. After 3 month and a lot of money spendt on acutpunture and herb, I have not see an improvement. My Chinese stress I need to exercise everyday but I simply don't know where to find the time to do it everyday. I do see a improvement in my energy level because I used to be tired all the time. With the energy level improvement I am able to make it to the gym more.

The things is I am still very sleepy in the morning and usually make it to work by about 9am. That means getting off at 5:30 pm and by the time we get home it's about 6:30 to 7pm. Once dinner is done and eaten and we clean up a bit it's already 9pm. Sometimes if we eat late, we simply can't make it to the gym before it closes (they stop letting people in at 9:15). If we do make it there, I am all awake by the time I come home that I simply can not fall asleep until 12. and the visicous cycle continues.

At anyrate, I went to my family doctor couple weeks ago and told her that I wanted her help and she sent me for some blood test and ultrasound. The ultrasound is schedule on August 8th but she already called me yesterday to see the blood test results. I have hight FSH but low LH and she confirm that I have POCS. She's refered me to the fertility clinic but she said the wait time is norally at least 8 to 12 month. In the mean time, she told me to eat healthy, exercise and try to lose about 10% of weight. She also prescribed prometrium for me to have a period as I haven't had one for over 8 mo. now. She ask me to wait until after the ultrasound to take it.

She did said that if I read up a lot on POCS and knows about what pills and the results and got tired of waiting for an apointment from fertility clinic, she will precribed some pills for me to try but she can't answer all the questins I have so it's a bit risky.

At this time I am hoping that I can stick to a exercise plan and loss some weight and that will help but it just seem so hard right now. I am hoping the blog will help and help keep my accountable too.

another attemp at blogging

I Always admire all those people who can document their life in a neat blog. I am not a neat person and not a great writer but here is my third attempt at blogging. This time I think I want to have a focus -- making my life more effective.

We juggle many things in our life; love and marriage, work, friends and social events, exercise and eating properly, household chores, household and personal finance, families etc. At the end of the day I am not sure I am happy just because there is so many things I still want to do and think we should do but I am too tried to really want to do them. We don't have kids yet but we are ttc. I figure now is the time to take a look at our lives and learn how to prioritize and get things done.

I was watching this video on time management from Dr. Randy Pausch and love his ideas but I can not find a good place to start. I am open to suggestions.
