I just ate the most amazing organic orange ever! Not just because it was organic, but because I learned a new trick when picking out oranges. I was watching Ace of Cakes the other night and Duff was saying that if an orange is really light weight it’s all stringy inside and has no juice and if it was heavy that it was all nice and juicy inside. Well he was right. I tested it when I went grocery shopping the other day; these oranges looked so yummy I just had to get us a few. I picked out the heavy ones from the bunch and brought them home. I cut one opened tonight for dinner and boy o' boy. This orange was so perfect that I almost didn’t want to eat it, but then again it would just rot if I didn’t. Juice was dripping down my chin and my fingers and I am a still a little sticky. I just made you want to go eat an orange didn’t it. That’s my tip for the week, pick the heavy oranges!
I wasn't able to work out today, because it was a crazy day at work and again I had to work for someone this evening. And since I am normally in bed between 9-10 that means I eat my dinner at 7ish... well I didn't get him till 7:30 and I couldn't work out and eat before bed. I am really pissed that I can't work out because I can't either tomorrow. Well I am suppose to take my friends dog on a walk while I have a huge break at work before going back to work. So I just hope that I can do that. He dog is craaaaaaaaaazy and hyper so she might be taking me for a jog. I did watch what I ate today so that I didn't over due it since I am not able to work out. I could also do Jillian Michaels 30 DS too tomorrow maybe.... if I can figure out my friends DVD player (she wont be home). O the possibilities of way to work out. 
Okay I haven't talked much about PCOS lately, just my weight loss and bitching about work. So I thought I would say something along the lines of PCOS. Here is goes.
The top 3 things I dislike about PCOS
1. Infertility
2. Adult Acne
3. The 'Darkness' on my inner thighs and around my eyes
The top 3 things I have come to terms with
1. Infertility
2. Adult Acne
3. The 'Darkness' on my inner thighs and around my eyes
I have come to realize that PCOS is not part of who I am, but part of me. It doesn't define who I am. I am not the person I am today because of it. I am sad that I am 'infertile', yet I still have hope. I hate my Adult Acne and I hated my teenage acne as well. But it comes and goes. It doesn't affect my beauty or me, its just there. The darkness I can deal with, I just have to figure out what type/shade of make-up to wear (and I don't really wear any) and NO ONE sees my inner thighs besides my hubs and I am sure he hasn't even noticed. This things have there toll, but why make it the end of the world. You are who you are, not because of the disease or syndrome you have. You make yourself you. You are beautiful inside and out no matter what. Don't let things like symptoms get in your way, move them aside and make them part of you, not who you are.
 


 
 
PCOS symptoms suck, but there are worse things to live with, I guess.

I have darkness around my undereyes (hereditary). I use a "yellow stick" underneath the eye to help offset the darkness. Even if I'm not wearing make up, I apply a few dots of the yellow stick and blend it in. You might give it a try. Most major make up manufacturers will make one, and you can pick it up at the drug store.
