Anne S''s Diary Entries

Diary Navigation:

December 5, 2000

Hi all! Well, this has been a completely uneventful week as far as TTC goes. Sorry! Right now I'm on CD#31 of C#7. Last cycle was my first off Clomid and my first to O on my own and it lasted 40 days. So, I'm just hopin' AF will show on her own. To me that would be a major accomplishment. Baby steps, right? I don't really even know if I O'ed because I didn't temp, or OPK, or get a CD#21 blood progesterone test. I guess I could take my temp tomorrow morning and if AF doesn't show in a couple days I'll know that's representative of a post-O temp. I didn't really even try to time BD this cycle either. Do I deserve a diary???

I guess my main focus right now is exercising and getting this dang weight off! So far I've lost 16 pounds in the last eight weeks. That takes me back down to where I was before TTC in January 2000. I definitely feel motivated now. Right now I'm on a protein diet. I haven't really checked into how healthy it is, but I figure it can't hurt to try. I eat lotsa protein and very low carbs and exercise at least every other day (jog four to five miles). And to reward myself I get an hour-long massage every other week. That's the part I especially like. However, I must say it is weird to unclothe oneself to a stranger! The best part is that I've figured out how to get my health insurance to pay for it! I'm a genius, :).

What else ... lovin' the fact that it's December. December means lots of days off! YES! My sister is visiting from Alaska and she is so much fun to be around. She's a wild child! She and I will be takin' a trip to the mountains to look at log cabins. My dad said he would buy one as a vacation home and said we could go to pick it out. Too cool, huh? The big decision is on a hill with a view or in a valley with a river running next to it? For some reason he didn't go for on the ski slope ... somethin' about being too pricey. Ah, you can't let the little things get in your way! hehe

OK, so I'm not sayin' anything TTC-related. I hope I'm allowed to sidetrack 'cause sometimes explicit descriptions of CM, CP, AF, OPK interpretations, etc. get old. I can say I definitely want to be PG within the next six months. I just want to get down to my goal weight so the PG won't be too hard on my bones/joints/muscles. Ya know? Alright girls, you be good this week. Actually, if we wanna get PG we better not be good! Until next week.

Anne :)

P.S. My "Talk to Me" feature isn't working right now. Don't know why. I'm going to email the webmaster about it. So, keep checkin' back, please!
