Marathon Runner


Exercise, the word that we all hate with a passion.  One of the side effects that I struggle with in having PCOS is having no energy.  I take some natural supplements that help give me energy, but some days it just does not feel like enough.  We all know that exercise should be a very important part of your fight against PCOS, but this is much easier said than done.  I have been up to the gym and lifted weights, used the treadmill, and even used that elliptical that makes your legs burn, yeah you know what I'm talking about.  Half way through my workout I get this second wind, this adrenaline that kicks in and it feels great.  In reality though it is very, very difficult to get motivated and energetic enough to get out and exercise. 

            My journey with PCOS is kind of like a marathon.  Some days I am sprinting and other days I am crawling, but the point is I am always moving in the direction of the finish line.  So, fellow marathon runners keep your chin up and know that it is a marathon and you don't need to sprint everyday.  We will get to the finish line together one way or another.  ~Tammy
