Disclaimer- I’ve had a hate/hate relationship with carbohydrates my entire life. Sure they are tasty, but some bodies just do not break things down as they should. If you haven’t been here before:

Hi. My name is Kelly and I have PCOS. PCOS is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and I was diagnosed at 16 years old as post-menopausal. To save us all time if you are interested in more info I typically link people to the Mayo Clinic for understanding- https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pcos/symptoms-causes/syc-20353439

Basically for me it’s hereditary. My two cousins on my father’s side also have it and it’s very possible my sister has it and hasn’t been diagnosed officially. One of the side effects of PCOS can be excess insulin. As I am well… let’s just say it’s been 15ish years of my life watching my carb intake so it’s become somewhat 2^nd nature to me.  To say from Sunday to now has been carbolicious… would be an understatement. Here let me show you.

Monday- Well you read the seed in eyeball story last blog. I decided to treat myself to a Popeye’s biscuit after that traumatic experience. That and I had the points. I ate lots of white meat protein that day looking back. Trying to hit this blue dot has become a challenge for me. Had I not ate the biscuit I would have had 15 points left. I don’t know if I’m just not doing this correctly but 30 points is A LOT.

Tuesday- Work drama resulted in my team missing lunch and the company ordering us Domino’s pizza. Hello carbs. I didn’t just eat you Sunday or anything. Wellll 2 pieces of cheese pizza and 14 points later… Lucky for me dinner was soup and low points. We love our copycat Olive Garden Chicken & Gnocchi soup. It is 4 points for a 1.5 cup serving so it’s a lot for little. It’s also 5$ movie night and we got amazing seats to Infinity War. No spoilers here folks. Members get free popcorn but they do not tell you how many cups it is. I believe it was approximately 2 cups so I pointed it as 3 points. Finished my day with 8 points left- AND I ATE PIZZA?!

Wednesday- A random fruit cup was on my desk because my boss brought the team in Breakfast pizza which he knew I wasn’t about to eat given I ate pizza yesterday. I threw out the melon (yuck), and ate the grapes and pineapple because I’m 5. I had another gnocchi (1 cup), a Laughing Cow pepper jack cheese wedge – kind of love them, and Boar’s Head Cracked Pepper Turkey (0 pts) for 5 points. My sister made BBQ Chicken Flatbreads using Joseph’s oat bran and whole wheat lavish bread, G Hughes hickory flavored bbq sauce, free mozzarella & fat free cheddar cheese from Kraft, bacon bits, and jalapenos. It was tasty. We had hummus with Joseph’s oat bran and whole wheat pita chips (we made them in our air fryer) so dinner was 10 points. I also had a light string cheese, flavored Greek yogurt and PB2 yogurt for snacks (3pt) so that brought me to 11 points left for the day and no blue dot. Sigh. I just WASN’T hungry and was 1 point off from a blue dot. I also hit my 47 fit points today.

Wednesday was gym night. High inclines, lower speeds this go round. 35 minutes was all I could squeeze in. It’s a busy weekend so going to be night hours for sure to get it in.

Here’s what the weekend looks like:
