Hey ladies. This week was a little better, still not perfect though. DHs birthday was yesterday so this weekend will be full of dinners. Monday is my official no more excuses getting back on weight watchers day. Overall the month of January was not good for me. Luckily I have 11 more to make up for it I found a new snack that I am obsessed with. The Triscuit garden herb flavor with skinny cow tomato basil cheese is yummy! For anybody else on weight watchers it is 4 points plus. I think 4 is a lot for a snack, but it has a lot of flavor which makes me feel more satisfied. QOTW: I have so many movies that come to mind. (you would think I would have one since this is my own question lol) Probably overall fave is the Notebook. Although for a teeny bopper movie I love Mean Girls!

I started off strong and ended bad. These damn birth control pills are making me a fatty pants. I want to eat everything bad. Chocolate, yes please. Potato chips, absolutely. If I could find chocolate covered potato chips I'd probably eat those too. I can't wait to be off of these damn pills.
QOTW: What is your favorite movie of all time? Pride and Prejudice
Married on October 20, 2012. Began trying in January 2013. RE appointment & testing December 2013 - February 2014= Unexplained IF, possible endometriosis IUI#1- March 22 (100mg clomid, 75 mg of Bravelle, Ovidrel trigger) = BFP!!!
I did fairly decent this week...I worked out every other day and went to bootcamp, again. But I wasn't quite the nazi about what I ate this week as I was last week. I forgot to weight myself this week, so I don't know how much I lost, but I feel like I definitely lost some...my clothes fit differently, so I'm at least getting back in shape, even if I'm not losing as quickly as I'd hoped. Muscle is heavier than fat, after all!
I go to a party where I'll see an ex tomorrow, so I need to figure out my most slimming outfit...then we have a Superbowl party, and I'll probably pig out :P
I love Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It's so clever and makes you think - I feel like it had several underlying messages in it. My husband gets annoyed b/c I demand to watch it every time I get really drunk, and then I pass out 15 minutes into it, hehe.
Me 33, DH 37 -- TTC since Jan'12 -- Low AMH (0.78) & endo, SA w/ low motility IUI's 1-3 = BFN, IVF converted to IUI 4/13 = BFN IVF 1.2: 8R 6M 4F -- 2 blastocysts frozen, FET 8/15 = BFP!! Beta #s = 445;1,098; 9,545 -- EDD 5/2 -- Team Pink!
Last Friday (1wk ago) my dr said I lost 10 more lbs. hehe but I was at her office for my auto immune disease, I had a flare up and she put me on steroids so I'm sure it'll all come back. I did Pilates 2x this week and felt like I was gonna barf both times. Not great to do before AF comes, my abs r killlllling me lol. Can't space so. GOAL: 50 lbs METHOD: diet changes, fruit every day, moderate workouts. BIGGEST WEAKNESS: eatting after 8 pm, my husband works second shift and wants to eat when he gets home 9:10pm and doesn't wanna eat alone. :-/ QOTW: gingersnaps (it's about two sisters, one turns into a werewolf)

My initial goal was for my pants to fit again. Check! Now I'd like to get my BMI into the "healthy" range. I'm getting close! I've lost 10lbs since January 1st by eating healthy and working out. I use the Lose It app, which is helpful. I also did a diet bet with some friends. We're starting a new one tomorrow if anyone wants in: https://diet.bt/1la3Pj4
My biggest weakness is chocolate chip cookies! I love them!
And my favorite movie is When Harry Met Sally.

I started off great! I took my 1 year old lab mix on his first 3 mile run. He did great!!! Aaaaannnnndddd then I came down with a head cold that is still lingering. So I haven't run since, though I did go to yoga yesterday. I was thinking of easing my way back out there today, but I'm having some joint pain (possibly from the Lupron?!). I can't seem to get it together!!
QOTW: I'm a sucker for sappy love movies that don't end with 'happily ever afters' so Moulin Rouge and Shakespeare in Love

I'm thinking you mentioned this website before. I can click the link and it shows up but when I click on the how it works my internet blocks it at work. I need to remember to check it out at home. It looks cool. Maybe I can have Siri remind me. @gsancho I am sure you looked fabulous when you saw your ex.
