Being diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is a lot to swallow. For me, I had this overwhelming sense of fear for my future husband’s sake (Brett, obvi, who I hadn’t met yet,) fear for my own health and well-being, and mostly, fear that my dreams of being a mother would never come to fruition.

Get it girl. You’re working out, you have a routine (or you’re trying to get a routine, if you’re anything at all like me.) Just get it. If you can’t run yet, but are working toward upping your pace. If you’re only able to go for 5 minutes before taking a break…that’s 5 minutes longer than you would go if you never tried. Just get it girl. This outfit is meant for one of those sweaty, not going to care what you look like at the end of your workout days. If you’re running outside or on a treadmill, on the elliptical, or the bike, even lifting weights, and…
