Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

Image
Hey Everyone! I hope everyone had a great weekend! I had my youngest sister over and it was really fun to catch up with her and hang out since I don't get to see her as much now that I'm married and don't live at home. In today's post I wanted to talk about something that isn't really fun or easy for me to talk about and it's the reason my weight loss journeys have never gone so well. In February of 2016 I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS for short. I had gone to the doctor in February because I was going to be getting married in April and my soon to be husband and I wanted to start a family right away. I had always had irregular cycles so I wanted to see if there was anything the doctor could do to help my cycles be a little more normal so it would be easier to get pregnant. The doctor asked about my history and sent me in to get an ultra sound done on my ovaries to see what was going on, she also had some ...

Dairy Free Chocolate Chip Cookies!!!!

Image
Hey Everyone! In the spirt of Thanksgiving in less than a month, I wanted to share with you my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. I used to be the worst at making cookies, they would always turn into hockey pucks within minutes of coming out of the oven and they just didn't have a good texture. After looking at Pinterest forever and trying many different recipes, I finally found one that worked! I've changed it here and there a little bit, making it dairy free on occasion, but it's always been just as good! They're gooey and chocolatey, everything that it should be in a delicious cookie (in my opinion of course). Okay enough talking, let’s get into it! Be prepared to be asked to make these at every party you attend. I've made these for baby showers, Halloween parties, and many more occasion. It's worth it though and honestly doesn't take that much time. Prep: 15-20 minutes  Cook Time: 10 minutes MAX Total Tim...

Our Love Story

Image
Hey Everyone, Today I thought I'd post Thomas and I's story on how we got together. Thomas and I’s love story probably isn’t that different than a million other people’s but I’d like to think it’s special. Going back to where it all started; 10th grade Spanish Class. I moved around a lot as a kid and during my 10th grade year I started out at one high school and 2 months later moved to another one across town. That’s where our story begins. It was the last trimester before school let out for summer and I had been at this high school for probably a month or two. I didn’t know anyone and we had just started the new trimester and the girls I usually sat with (seniors that kinda took me in) didn’t have the same lunch as me and I was stuck. Here is where Spanish Class comes in. This girl named Becca turned around (she was sitting in front of me) and asked if I wanted to sit together at lunch. It was super random (I later learned that’s just Becca!) but said yes ri...

Welcome

Welcome! My name is Christina and I wanted to tell you a little bit about myself, my life along with my hopes for this blog. First off hello J Like I said my name is Christina, I’m 24 years old, soon to be 25 L and I’m married to my wonderful husband whose name is Thomas. We were married in April 2016 and just moved into a new home in our home state of Minnesota, this past July. We have a dog named Rogue who is almost 2, 2 cats named Lucy and Lexi who will be 5 soon, and a new kitty, Lady, who’s just a little over 2 months. We don’t have any children yet, unfortunately, but we are hoping to grow our family sometime soon. My husband and I on our wedding day! My hope for this blog is that I want to have a place to share my thoughts, struggles, and just day to day life with everyone. I want this blog to grow with me as my life changes. Hopefully I’ll soon get to write about having children, home improvements on our new house, and just the day to day....
