TTC#1, C#12, CD#12
Hey everyone!
OK -- enough's enough -- I can't take this anymore!! My body is taking on a life of its own and it's been renamed "Cellulite." I have been eating with abaondon and not exercising at all and I am paying for it! So the time has come to do something. As is par for the course for me -- my weight has to get drastic before I do something about it!
I started my workouts again on Monday -- the plan is to go four times a week. I'm back to journaling my food intake -- although I'm not going to Weight Watchers meetings. I have 15 pounds to take off to get to my prefered weight -- and I want it off by the end of the summer. I'm doing it slowly because of the whole TTC thing -- but I am still determined!
The thing is -- I HATE to exercise. And I mean I really hate it. My idea of a sport is something like golfing or canoing -- not exactly cardio exercises. Every time I go to the gym I feel grumpy. The whole time I'm on the treadmill I curse my genes. The idea of jogging outside or biking or something outside of the gym, makes me shiver! Healthy eh? But there's a gym in my office and I have very little excuse not to exercise. We'll see how it goes. This journal is now going to be my weight loss journal as well.
On the TTC front -- I'm on my first cycle off of Clomid -- so who knows what will happen?? I had EWCM today -- but it's way early for me so I think it's an anomoly. On Clomid the earliest I Od was CD17 and it was usually way later than that off of Clomid. I am taking almost all of my herbs like a good girl. Except for the FUR tincture. I just can't do it. It keeps coming back up --so what good is that? Luckily Amy B. is sending me the rest of her bottle of FUR capsules. Thank you Amy! I don't know why we can't get them in Canada. Plus they worked for her so I figure they're good luck capsules:)
I'm 6 weeks into my up to 6 month wait to get into the fertility clinic -- so I still have a while to go there! Maybe countless people will get PG this summer in Calgary and they'll be able to process more of us faster:) I'm guessing a PCT test and IUI are next -- and then IVF. DH and I have have dicussed it and we will go all the way to try and have a baby of our own. If we still can't prevail -- then we'll look into adoption. So there are still many options ahead of us.
Hope everyone has a productive week,
Jenn
