The rain kept us mostly indoors today, but that didn't stop me from getting some accidental exercise! I cleaned! Yay!
Normally, I think that cleaning isn't really much of a work-out unless you are moving furniture and doing a complete cleaning of at least 2 rooms. I modified that today when I caught myself breathing hard and sweaty.
No, hubby is out of town, so it wasn't that kind of breathing hard, you pervs.
I was doing laundry of all things! I think I was probably on my tenth trip up the stairs to put away some clothes in youngest's room when I caught myself.
Huhhh, huhhhh...
"What the he....huhhh...why am I breathing hard?"
*youngest's fish made some bubble noises that may have been an answer, but I don't speak fish*
I trudged back down the stairs to grab more items and turn them in to their proper room/receptical/area. Youngest came out of the computer room and complained about being cold to which I handed her some of her clothes and told her to put them away and she would warm up. She gave me a dirty look and trudged away with her articles.
I should also share the results of yesterday's baking frenzy:
Apple sauce/butter - Yummy! *crowd cheers*
Bread dough had to be moved to oven when bread machine wouldn't cooperate. Bread - a giant white rock *much booing and hissing mixed with comments about a "bread-killer"*
Black Bean soup - I had 1 spoonful to make sure it was okay before it was sent off. I am told it was a hit! *more cheering and a few wolf-whistles*
Hey! You talk to your Momma with those lips?...You do?....That's just sick, man.
Today though, despite the five loads of laundry (Yes, five. I had a busy week!), I was exhausted. Maybe in part because of the laundry? Anyways, I looked up a few databases of PCOS and realized that fatigue is actually a symptom that can be exaggerated by the low-carb diet! Yay!
Let me get this straight.... If I eat a lot of carbs, I will feel bloated, miserable and tired.....If I don't eat a lot of carbs I will feel bloated, miserable and tired but in a few different ways and without that full feeling? That just does NOT seem right!
Some forums had women who said the Metaformin that is a common diabetic medication prescribed for PCOS took away some of that tiredness. Really? Can I have your prescription?
I will say that the highlight of my day had nothing to do with my baking, cleaning or PCOS. It was when I took youngest to Taekwondo. On the way home, I commented that she wasn't kicking and punching with enthusiasm when she was facing a partner. Her response was: "Mommy, some of those kids don't look and I'm afraid I'll kick them over." Is it sad that I got a giggle out of the image of my child throwing a wild kick and sending another child flying across the room like a bad superhero movie? You picture a cute little blonde girl doing it and try not to snicker!
Oh, I also wanted to share a box mix that a friend of mine recommended for gluten-free bread. It is on my list of purchases next time I go to the store:
