Re: WTO Sunday 7/2
CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: PNVs and Ubiquinol
R/R: ran 4 solo miles this morning so I really pushed myself. If it's not raining, I got us Fastpasses for one of the new rides in Pandora at the Animal Kingdom along with the Safari and I was to eat at the new restaurant. But if it's raining, we're bailing.

WAYDTGKU: PNV, temping
R/R: I keep getting up at 4:00 to take my temperature and then I'm not able to go back to sleep. This morning I did get back to sleep around 5, but then DH needed help getting stuff ready for work and I was up. I'm tired already!
GTKY: I love French toast, but never make it at home. At home, when I'm not being lazy, I make sunny side up eggs.
@JNCPro3130 I hope you can take a nap later

WAYDTGKU CM, OPKs, sex
R/R CM has dried up and OPKs are negative so today is O day for me, hoping to get DH to cooperate one more time but regardless pretty pleased with timing. Going to be hot as Hades here again today, so *TW taking DS to my parents house for a swim END TW*
CSQ
GTKY: It really depends on the day, sometimes I need something sweet like a cinnamon roll, but other days I like an egg sandwich with cheese and sausage on a croissant

R/R: not much going on today, just a little shopping and pool time. I am really starting to regret not taking tomorrow off of work and making it a nice long weekend.
CS/Q: none
Eggs over medium and French toast.
@purplg8r, I hope it doesn't rain!
@JNCPro3130, hope you can get a nap or maybe a nice cup of coffee to help you wake up.
@JNCPro3130 Aw man, that's an early Sunday. I hope you get all the coffee today. Why is your temp time so early?
@RVAmom315 Yay that you are happy with timing this cycle so far. FX for one more good try today. Enjoy family swim time!

R/R: Rant- pretty sure this cycle is null due to MH's travel schedule.
Rave- I slept great last night and am having a really good, chill morning so far.
CS/Q: nope
I love a really good everything bagel with big salt crystals, toasted, with chive cream cheese and smoked salmon.
@JNCPro3130 ugh not being able to get back to sleep is the absolute worst. Hopefully it's ok for you to be chill today!
@RVAmom315 I feel you on sometimes needing sweet and sometimes needing fatty/savory in the morning.
@holly321 mmm I love eggs over medium and it seems like no one has really even heard of them besides me! It's just the perfect mix of gooey and firm.
@kbamomma33 sorry that this cycle may be a bust.

R/R: my bff met up for coffee yesterday (Starbucks bogo espresso drinks 2-5 through today!) and the caffeine kept me up last night. Ugh! So that's both a rave (met up with her) and a rant. Today I'm supposed to take the dog for a run so that DH can do some last minute cleaning before the ILs get here for a BBQ. (Also rant/rave).
CS/Q:
I really love dutch babies. Mmmm. With some powdered sugar and a bit of jam.

@RVAmom315 , yay for timing working out!
@holly321, I hear you about wishing you had tomorrow off. MH has a nice four day weekend and I'm super jealous!
@kbamomma33, I hate bagels but your description *almost* made me want one. Almost.
@JennyColada, I hope you have a nice BBQ today!
@Stargazer1lily, Oh no, I hope your husband feels better soon! The flu on the 4th would be especially not fun.

R/R: Finally going to see Wonder Woman today! We're excited. My not so fun thing for today is that I'm meeting with my boss tomorrow for my annual appraisal and need to raise some issues about one of my coworkers. I hate feeling like I'm ratting someone out, but this person's disruptive behavior is really affecting my work. So I need to plan out exactly what I want to say, ugh.
CS/Q: Nope!
GTKY: I love French Toast at restaurants, especially with crispy bacon on the side. At home I really like scrambled eggs or oatmeal with fruit.
@holly321 Enjoy the pool!
@JennyColada Have fun at your BBQ!
@Stargazer1lily Hope YH feels better soon
@Augusta108 Have fun at Wonder Woman!

@JNCPro3130 I'm sorry that you couldn't get back to sleep... at least you got an early start to your day though
@RVAmom315 Yay for O! HIO!
@holly321 Sorry you have to work tomorrow.
@kbamomma33 Ah yeah, a really good bagel would be on my favorites list too. With good cream cheese and lox....
@JennyColada I love Dutch babies too! Not many people have heard of them, so I'm glad that makes two of us
@Stargazer1lily FX that it's not the flu...
@Augusta108 GL with your meeting with your boss... I would hate having to do that, but you have to, especially if it's negatively affecting your work. At least when it's over, it's over, and you won't have to think about it anymore.

@purplg8r --great job on your solo run! Do you listen to music or podcasts when you run solo? I usually like running with other people the best because it makes the time pass more quickly and it's a nice workout/social combo, but yesterday I listened to a podcast.
@JNCPro3130 -- wow! You were up early. I hope you get a nap in today! (And that reminds me...I forgot to temp again today. Ugh!)
@RVAmom315 Yay for O day! Enjoy the swim with the fam.
@holly321 Enjoy the shopping and pool time. Are you shopping for anything specific?
@kbamomma33 I am sorry about missing the FW with your hubby's travel. That happened to me a few months ago...I was out of town and missed the FW. It just makes the waiting sooo much longer. In other news, that breakfast sounds amazing! Definitely a favorite.
@JennyColada -- I hope you get a nap in before the ILs arrive! Also, what are dutch babies? They sound like something extra delicious that I should know about.
@Stargazer1lily --I hope your DH feels better! (FX it is not the flu).
@Augusta108 Enjoy Wonder Woman. And GL with initiating that conversation with your boss. I dislike having to initiate uncomfortable topics, but it seems like addressing that issue will ultimately make your work environment better for you (and hopefully it will help your co-worker grow too).

R/R: 7 mile run this morning and it was hot & humid! We have a family swim/BBQ party later this afternoon after church, so that should be fun.
CS/Q:
Ooooh, breakfast is my FAVORITE meal of the day! There are so many yummy choices that it is difficult to pick just one. If I make breakfast at home, I love to sautee onions, then add in scrambled eggs--mixed with plain Greek yogurt for extra creaminess--as well as some chopped spinach, cheddar cheese, and any other veggies I might have on hand. I top it with some salsa, and serve with a side of avocado and fruit. (I take my breakfast seriously lol). If we eat at a restaurant, I love apple wheat pancakes or the California benedict.

Best question ever. I love pretty much all breakfast food! From cold cereal to quiche. Monkey bread? French toast? Eggs? Breakfast burritos? Bagels? Eggs Benedict? Fruit and yogurt? Pancakes? Om nom nom!!! I can't pick a favorite cause I love them all. This morning DH & I made homemade hash browns and breakfast tacos. Super yummy!

@JNCPro3130 @holly321 I love french toast too, but also rarely make it. It's a nice treat for eating out.
@kbamomma33 Your bagel sounds delicious! I've had such a hard time finding decent bagels where I live (midwest). I don't think there are enough NY/New Jersey transplants here!
@Stargazer1lily Oh no! I hope it's not the flu.
@Augusta108 Enjoy Wonder Woman! I loved it.
@hedgepig Would you be willing to share your cinnamon roll recipe? I've been looking for a good one!

WAYDTGKU: charting temps and cm, opks
R/R: I'm trying to be better about eating healthy and getting exercise, but I'm finding it really hard to stay motivated. On the plus side, the weather is gorgeous here and we're going to a lunch party at our neighbor's house.
CS/Q: For those whose partners have done an SA, how long did you abstain beforehand? The 2-7 day range seems really broad, so I'd love more information on what would give the most accurate results.
You can never go wrong with bacon! Other than that, one of my favorite breakfasts to make is popovers.

WAYDTGKU: temp, CM, PNV, sex
R/R: I think I might have O'd yesterday based on CM, but I can't tell for sure since we had a wedding last night and I just didn't bother with temp this morning because of drinking and sleeping in until 9. But the wedding was great and it was so much fun to see family and old friends
CS/Q:
@darkstar42 For the SA we went with 2.5 days. 7 days sounds like way too long TBH. I'm surprised you were given such a wide range.
@RVAmom315 I hope your H cooperates!!
@holly321 have fun shopping & at the pool!!
@kbamomma33 ugh. FX your H's travel schedule changes or your body cooperates and O's early/late
@JennyColada what's a Dutch baby???
@Stargazer1lily I hope your H feels better soon! (And you don't get what he has!)
@Augusta108 what book are you reading? Wonder Woman was good (I had no interest in seeing it but all of H's family was going during our vacation so I went and was pleasantly surprised). And good luck at the meeting tomorrow!
@doxiemoxie212 what is this Fairfax deliciousness you're raving about?? (Ok just saw your description. That sounds delicious!!)
@hedgepig mmmm cinnamon rolls
@dukestar5 I always have to have music. Even when I'm running with my group, I leave one headphone in. I've never tried a podcast though. Do you find it hard to focus on it? When I run solo is when I push myself so not sure I could focus. Also, do you have any races coming up?
@lurvleybunchococonuts your breakfast sounded yummy!!
https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/6648-dutch-baby
So so easy and so yummy!
Also I jogged (/walked) 3 miles with the pup today! Do I get to be initiated to the cool kids runners club?

@stargazer1lily, I'm so sorry your husband is so sick! Disinfect a lot!
@Augusta108, good luck at your meeting tomorrow! I'm very non confrontational so things like that stress me out! FX it goes well!
@dukestar5, 7 miles?! All you runners are making me feel bad about dreading my 20 minute run I'm about to do. I really wish I could run like that!
@jennycolada, are you a runner too? I'm TRYING to get back into it. I'm trying to train for a 5k but I'm so freaking slow and I'm sure people think I'm having a heart attack while I'm running. I'm terrible at it!

@purplg8r Good job on the run!
@RVAmom315 Looks like we're O date twins.
@kbamomma33 We're doing low carb here so your description of the bagel is really making my mouth water!
@JennyColada I'm so sensitive to caffeine since I've been cutting back. That would have been me too. Hopefully a nap today?
@Stargazer1lily Hope your hubbie feels better!
@Augusta108 Have fun at Wonder Woman! I'm jealous, haven't had a chance to see it yet.
@doxiemoxie212 OMG that piggy in your signature!
@hedgepig Mmmm cinnamon roll! What do you play in D&D? I probably won't understand but i can get hubbie to translate!
@dukestar5 Oooo I need to try that greek yogurt trick!
@lurvleybunchococonuts Why on the 3rd instead of the 4th? We live in a large master planned (like 100k people) and they outlawed fireworks so we have to drive to FIL's house to see them.
@darkstar42 Yeah we're trying to eat better here too. It helped to get all the junk food out of the house. Though the other night, my drunk self found the one thing of ice cream buried in our deep freeze!
@wisewitch222 Hope you're enjoying vacation!

BFP 8/14/17 --> Due 4/27/2018
@darkstar42 --my best advice would be to find a friend or two to run with...for me, it helps make the time go by more quickly and it's more fun to catch up! If you prefer to run alone, maybe start at a local track and bring some music. (I use free Pandora app on my phone and select a station with fast paced music to keep me motivated). Also, I did not start running until college and, in the beginning, I could not make it around the campus dorms without stopping. A few years later I ran a marathon. So when starting, remember that it is ok to do intervals. For example, start by running for 2 minutes, then walking 1 minute (and repeat).
@JennyColada of course! The more the merrier I say.
@purplg8r --interesting! I think I am actually slower when I run by myself because I feel less motivated (lazy?) So I like running with others to push me. One of my friends and I try to do a speed workout (400 or 800 intervals) a few times a month.
@fishsticks-n-custard --yay for moving to TWW! FX for you!
@hedgepig --what is D&D?
@fishsticks-n-custard Technically we play Pathfinder (rather than D&D, YH will probably know what I'm talking about), and I'm currently playing a gnomish witch, level 14 (which is pretty exciting because we've rarely gotten characters to that high of a level).
@lurvleybunchococonuts MH made homemade hash browns yesterday for us too.... yum, so good!

@wisewitch222 I'm glad you had fun at the wedding!
@fishsticks-n-custard don't come back!
@darkstar42, they didn't give us a range (we did 3 days) because they were able to schedule him really quickly. They just told us bonded until after. It was fine. I'd guess there's a long range because it really doesn't matter all that much.

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, HIO, POM juice (still haven't looked up what that helps, just recalled that I was doing that last time I got a BFP and bought a bottle).
R/R: My sex drive is low right now so EOD sex is really seeming like a chore. We are still fighting the good fight through. I've been having some light cramping so hopefully that means O is coming up soon.
CS/Q:
@hedgepig Those recipes look great! I'll have to give one or both a try soon.
@LazyCrane Sounds like 2-3 days is normal. I can work with that!

This is a difficult question because breakfast food is my favorite! My top savory is Eggs Benedict. My top sweet is Door County Cherry Stuffed French Toast from White Gull Inn.
