yep, i'm a newbie

i just joined today. i don't know all the abbreviations people are using, but i'm sure i'll figure it out, plus i think i saw something on here earlier than had them all listed with their meaning... i'm sure i'll find it again soon and it will be very helpful when i get frustrated enough to go looking for that again. 
if you haven't already noticed, i don't capitalize in my blogs... and i like dots.... sorry if it's nerve wrecking... it's just my style.
i have a lot of mixed emotions tonight. i'm sitting at home alone because my hubby's at work and my mind is just swirling with information i've read and questions i have... all the anticipation i feel about getting back on meds that will possibly turn me into a real beast... the excitement about going through this fertility process soon and knowing that it is possible i could get pregnant soon... and then there's this overwhelming realization that i HAVE to take my health into my own hands because this is one situation NOBODY can help me until i become proactive through changing my diet and getting exercise each day.
speaking of that... who else finds that this is one of the hardest things in the world to do? i'm not one of those people who feels better after exercise... at least not after working out in the typical sense. usually i'm left exhausted and sweaty and hot and my chest hurts from getting so winded... and most times i'm even nauseated and left with painful joints and muscles, even after stretching well. so how do people get past that? i guess for me the motivation is to be healthy enough to conceive and carry a baby... that's probably the ONLY thing that could make such a horrible thing as exercise worth it for me!
plus, the amount of weight i have to lose just to get to a "normal" size is almost more than i can even stand to think about. maybe it will get easier when i get my hormones straightened back out? just maybe? let's hope so.
i just want to say good luck to all of you, whatever your aspirations are, whether it is to get healthy and feel better, or to look better and get into that size 12 again (yes, a size 12 for me would be something to shout about), or if you're hoping to conceive... i wish you all the best in your journey. and i hope we get to help eachother in some way, at some point.
hugs to all.

 | I am a newbie too and I too am excited, overwhelmed, and confused! I hate exercise too, not to mention I have to quit smoking or I wont be able to exercise without collapsing a lung! I know you and I both can do it, we just have to remember that sweet little baby we both already love and how wonderful it will be when we finally meet. Then all of this will have been worth it! It feels so much better knowing there is someone else out there going through the same thing! Size 12 here we come!! |

| | Hi ladies, I am a newbie too. I totally hear you about the exercise. I don't feel any better physically after exercising, but I feel better about myself, because I did get off my butt and exercised. I have had PCOS since my early teens, but was never diagnosed (spelling??) until I was about 21. Unfortunatly I never got a lot of info from any doctors and so I have not really learned much about it until the last two years. It is a scary thing to deal with. I am really hoping that this group of fellow "cysters" will help me to alieviate some of the anxiety I feel. Nice to know I am not the only one out here! |
