A trip to the gym

[judecorp]

So I hadn't gone to the gym in almost two weeks... before my haircut at any rate, which was on the 6th. I thought that I should go today even though I'm not feeling all that great, since I pay for the damned membership no matter what. While I was there I figured I would hop on the scale to see how much weight I've gained back from my slovenly lifestyle, membership in the Saturday Night Ice Cream Club, and the numerous deliciously fatty foodles I ate when crena was visiting.

But I lost five pounds!

This is so crazy. I have no idea how I'm losing this weight, unless it's the Metformin. Because, really, I'm still eating crap food, not exercising enough, nothing. And my clothes don't really fit any differently. Maybe the scale at the gym is broken?

I'm now merely 10 pounds heavier than I was when I was on the crew team in college. And that was when I was the Incredibly Sexy Bionic Woman.

Damn.

Re: Metformin???

Metformin (http://www.drugdigest.org/DD/DVH/Uses/0,3915,426%7CMetformin,00.html) is a drug that was created for Type II Diabetes but has recently begun being prescribed for people with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, as PCOS has been linked to a number of endocrinologic problems such as insulin resistance, high cholesterol, etc. So while I don't have any cysts in my ovaries (at last check), my doctor thinks I likely have some form of PCOS because I had a high level of insulin in my blood although my blood sugar was in the normal/low normal range.

So I've been taking Metformin since mid-February to try to level all of my hormones out and become a fertile earth goddess or something. ;) (Apparently it's working, at least a little. I got my first period in three years last week.)

And yes, I got the book and have been reading some every night before bed. Thank you so much! I'll be done in no time!
