PCOS ultrasound scan and weight loss plan update

Yesterday was my first pcos scan post pregnancy. I have lots of small cysts in my right ovary which go the whole way around it and my left ovary is still high up and imflammed. In pregnancy your ovaries move up when the womb expands. I ve got to go back in hospital monday to see the specialist with the scan results.

no weight loss this week :( no gain either :) I ve been so good with my plan until today, i didnt make it to the gym this morning. . . pain and swelling after being proded about yesterday! But food wise been very good and grazing most days.

Next week I start Maxitone (replaced maximucle women proxmax diet and fitness plan) which really worked for me before i was pregnant. I ve now prepared myself for it these past few weeks by easing myself back into fitness and dieting. Looking forward to it actually as I remember how good I felt on it aswell as the best results yet! Stay posted for my exercises, menu and sucess!

Fat burning breakfasts for you to try. .

Yogurt with fruit and veg?!
Yogurt (natural lowfat, no sugar is best) 2 table spoons, mixed with a handfull of red/black grapes and chopped thin pieces of celery. It is a good start to the day, and a quick tip wash your grapes and chop celery the night before put into a container, then add the yogurt in the morning.

Mini omlettes
Beat 2 eggwhites, 30mls skimmed milk, pinch of salt and pepper. Chop 2 tomatoes, 3 slices of waffer thin ham and 2 mushrooms. mix well and pour into a greased muffins tin. Bake in the oven. Have 2 egg muffin sizes omlettes, and save the rest to pop in the fridge for the next day or for snacking.

Give them a go, I love them!

Healthy snack idea's for grazing and beating your cravings

Do you get cravings?

Most women do when they are pregnant, due their period and those

who suffer from PCOS. You should light snack in between meals to keep up your energy levels and keep hunger pangs at bay. I tend to crave when I am hungry and bored...sometimes it is a savoury craving, sometimes sweet.

We crave sugar when our blood sugar levels are out of balance, mine certainly are due to my PCOS. It is best to not let your body get too hungry where you are likey to grab a quick processed unhealthy snack, plan your snacks ahead. Get snackwise! Here are some tasty things I love, which you could try:

Savoury snacks

The Mexicana

Chopped avocado

Chopped tomatoes

Chopped pepper

2 table spoons of salsa

1 tea spoon of dijon mustard

cracked black pepper

Mix together in a bowl, if you have fresh coriander you can add to taste.

This is yummy! I make a bigger potion for a lunch sometimes and add aduki beans and lots lettuce.

Nutty seeds

Try different combos

Pecans, almonds, brazil nuts, cashews, pine nuts, pasastios, punkin seeds, sunflower seeds, linseeds.......... there are so many

I like pecans with almonds and punkin seeds mix. Pour them in a small container ready to snack in the day.

Sweet craving

Chocolate fruit bar!

mix dried fruits like apricots, prunes, rasins, cherries etc. in a bowl

add chopped nuts

coat them in dark coco powder

drizzle over a little honey add a few drops of water and mix

lay mixture onto baking paper and cut into bitesize pieces. Leave in the fridge for an hour to set or eat from the bowl! It is very yummy, I make them in batches so they are ready when I crave chocolate.

Dark Chocolate drops of heaven!

mix dried cherries, rasins, peanuts and a sprinkle of dark choc chips in a mini container. What a great healthy treat :)

I hope you enjoy trying these, or they inspire you to try snacking and grazing on new healthier foods.
