I stayed up way too late. Oh well.
I went to the doctor yesterday. He says that I have insulin resistance which is why I am tired all the time and have gained so much weight. So how do you take care of insulin resistance? You lose weight. How ironic is that? I have to try and lose the weight on my own and see how that goes for a couple of months. If I am not having any sucess, he wants me to see the endocrinologist. He is of the belief that I have Polycystic Ovarian Disease. I have been told I have it - then told I don't have it - then told I have it - then told I don't have it and now told that I have it. This has been going on for 5 years. I think now I will just go with the assumption that I have it and try to fix it. It explains too many of the symptoms I have. The weight, acne, headaches, depression, excess hair growth on my face, and constant fatigue. Now that I have the labs to back it up and the knowledge that I can fix this with diet and exercise, I need to do something! I am staring right in the face of heart disease and diabetes if I don't do this. He said to exercise one hour every day. OUCH. I have friends who do way more than that and do it just fine. Can I? How? When? I need a treadmill!
Prayers for today: Continued health for my children, financial peace, quiet time with Britt, & A TREADMILL!!
peace
