Big smiles today. It’s Friday. Have a long weekend ahead to enjoy too!  Plus we should have beautiful weather – even bigger smiles

Thank you all so much for the sweet words yesterday about PCOS. It is amazing to hear that so many of you suffer from it as well. Crazy! Gotta love those hormones? I am actually not stressing too much about having it because I know that I can heal it. And knowing I have it does take a lot of stress off my shoulders in a way. I have been doing a lot of reading about it and everything is starting to make sense. I will elaborate more on what I mean here soon.

And we are so happy that you guys liked our first Purely Talk video. More on the way! Going along with what we said in the video we are starting to take our body temperature and pulse.

Our workout yesterday was from our Tone it Up girls!

We did their bikini series Santorini workout.

We also did our push-ups for #whatsbeautiful purelyfit team challenge. We did forget to do our headstands.

After our workout it was time to get ready for the day and enjoy our warm lemon water.  Although, before actually getting up out of bed we took our body temperature and pulse. We were both very low. Lori’s around 95.5 and pulse around 52bpm. (If I am doing this correctly). Michelle’s temperature was 96.09 with a pulse of 43 (think I missed counted, haha I was half awake).  We have always had low blood pressure just wanted to note that.

Welcome to our first Purely Talk video!

Some of you mentioned calling it Purely Talk.

And we liked it.

So that is what the Q&A series will be referred to as – Purely Talk. We have created a category for it as well making it easy to find these posts and videos!

Well, it’s confirmed I (Lori) have… PCOS. Yep.  (Michelle probably has it too since we tend to have the same health issues).

I kinda knew that I did from having so many of the symptoms and many readers have brought it to my attention over the past few months. I got the test done with my OB/GYN doctor and yesterday it was confirmed.

So I am diving into more books, articles, etc about PCOS to continue my journey to heal myself through food and exercise. I have never really talked much about pregnancy here on the blog. I am not pregnant but it has been something I have been thinking about the past few months. So having PCOS and not really having a regular period yet will complicate things, but I am determined to get healed (along with my other skin issues). I will keep everyone updated.

Late afternoon we practiced some new purely fit life workouts and some client workouts.  We have a few tough workouts coming your way. Of course they are fun

My breakfast

Michelle’s breakfast bowl.

We both enjoyed a banana with 1/2 avocado with 2 eggs, some cooked swiss chard, and coconut oil.

Filmed our first Q&A video while enjoyed lunch.

Lunch was salmon, carrots, 1/2 avocado, and plantain fries with coconut oil.

Dinner was white rice (cooked in bone broth), dulse flakes, sauteed spinach, ghee and coconut oil, zucchini and baked cod.

Made a simple carob muffin for later in the evening to enjoy since we ate our dinner a little early. Carob muffin was just one egg mixed with 1 tbsp carob, 1/2 scoop perfect fit protein powder, and 1 tbsp coconut oil. Done in the microwave for about 1 minute. You could do in the oven, we were just lazy.

We are both still very positive and happy with where we are in our lives in terms of health. Yes we have issues. But don’t we all? And life will continue to bring us challenges, so we are taking one day at time. Thanks for always sticking around with us!

Now for things that makes us really SMILE

Getting pictures and tweets and facebook messages from all of YOU!!

LOVE YOU GUYS!

Twins Question: Have you heard of PCOS? Do you know anyone that has it?

Be back later with a Purely Talk!

How is everyone doing today? Ready to have a great day?

We have a busy day as we plan to film our first Purely Chat Q and A video later today plus a new Move-it-Monday workout. Did you see our latest workout? Perfect when you are short on time, but still want to move the body.

Since both of us are still a little sore from GPP Fitness workouts at Blend – yoga was calling our name.

Tara Stiles to the rescue.

We did about 45 minutes of a nice and relaxing yoga flow from her This is Yoga dvds. It was perfect. By the end of the yoga session our bodies were already feeling better! Love the power of yoga!

Sure felt great to slowly stretch out the body!  And finally had no bloat! More on that below.

Lori’s day:

Getting back into drinking my lemon water first thing after my workout and before eating my breakfast.

Breakfast was a very green juice (kale, romaine, cucumber and a carrot) plus 2 whole eggs with a banana. Topped with a little cinnamon and coconut oil.

First we wanted to say that we are thinking of all those in Oklahoma. We have been watching the news and seeing all the pictures is truly mind blowing. And heart breaking. Praying for everyone.

When moments like this happen we start to wonder about everything. Are we living today to the fullest? Are we living life like it might be the last day? Are we holding on for those right moments to happen before we do something we want to do?

But what if those ‘perfect’ moments never come?

Well we are thinking of these questions ever since hearing about what happened in Oklahoma. Still crazy and sad to hear what happened as we are still in awe of what recently happened in Boston .

Seeing those moments in life that touch so many people on so many different levels….is truly heart breaking.

These are the moments when we need to have hope.  And hug your loved ones!

After getting in around midnight from traveling back from Utah we took the morning off from working out and slept instead. Sleep can be just as powerful as exercise. We knew our bodies needed that extra hour of rest.

We both woke up and realized our fridge was pretty empty so decided to make a little trip to Whole Foods for breakfast.

Thank you Whole Foods

We both enjoyed some coffee along with eggs cooked in ghee, local sausage, bacon, and avocado.

Love moments when we are able to eat foods that make us feel happy.

We all have those days when we say, “I just have no time to workout.”
