Re: TWW 9/3
CD/DPO: 18/4
Timing: -3, -2, -1
Typical LP Length: 13 days
Testing: Not until next Saturday, at the very soonest.
R/R: It's a lovely weekend, so I'll avoid ranting! MH and I just went to the gym. This is a new habit we're trying to form, and we've been going every other day for the last week. So far so good!
CS/Q: No questions, but chart is in spoiler for stalking.
I really love coleslaw and potato salad. There's a lovely regional park near my house that makes for a good picnic spot.
CD/DPO: 26/8
Timing: good
Typical LP Length: 12-13
Testing: must.resist
R/R: This long weekend was much needed
I am really enjoying getting stuff done around the house
CS/Q:
GTKY: What are your favorite picnic foods and/or favorite places to go for a picnic? Potato salad as for spot by a stream in the mountains or at the beach
@darkstar42 well done with starting the gym habit! I always need people to go with and fixed appointments otherwise I find an excuse last minute... however my most committed time was when I did Crossfit, and then I was up early three mornings a week to be there for the 6am class! And I'm not a morning person ;-)
@glitzandglitter I am sure the "force is strong" to resist testing!
CD/DPO: 25/8 (or could be 11)
Timing: if 8 then -3 -2 -1 O +1
Typical LP Length: 14-16
Testing: when my CBAD tells me to and not before (no other tests in the house to prevent temptation)
R/R: Really lovely day. Clearing the garage with DH, organizing and tidying and making some stops so it's easier to park (and not hit the wall, or find yourself still with the back of the car sticking out!). It's definitely more for me than him lol. Then watched the final phase of the Burghley Horse Trials 3 Day Event and had a nice chicken Sunday lunch. A good day.

Back growing up it would have been Burghley Park. Best ever spot was on the Great Wall of China between Junshanling and Simitai. Still need to find a good spot around here. Then again I'm a total picnic wimp, as I am totally phobic of wasps and have a reaction if I'm stung.
As for food sausages on sticks and sausage rolls :-)

CD/DPO: 20/7
Timing: -5 -3 -2 -1 O +1
Typical LP Length: 14 days
Testing: I broke down and tested yesterday, even though I knew that at 6 dpo it would be negative, but I wanted to drink at game night, so I wanted the reassurance of a bfn before doing so.
R/R: Skipped church today because I didn't get home from game night until 0230. Now we are just having a lazy Sunday. All I need to accomplish is folding some laundry and making a return to Target. This is my favorite kind of Sunday.
CS/Q: not really anything exciting, but feel free to stalk away
GTKY: What are your favorite picnic foods and/or favorite places to go for a picnic? I'm not sure I have a favorite picnic foods, but I love a lot of "summer" foods. I love watermelon, BBQ ribs & pork, baked beans, and macaroni salad (I mix those last 2 like a weirdo).
@darkstar42 yay for going to the gym, I hope you are able to keep it up and form your new habit! While I know the "21 days to form a new habit" theory is a misquote of a non scientific paper, Building that consistency and making it an enjoyable part of your routine hopefully helps.
@glitzandglitter you are stronger than me!
@emmasemm a picnic on the Great Wall of China sounds epic!

***TW Living child and loss mentioned***
13 March 2017: Loss at 4+6
CD/DPO: 15/3
Timing: -2,-1,O
Typical LP Length: 14 days
Testing: Not until AF is late
R/R: We are having another super lazy day here. Walked the hound and French toast for breakfast. Just bummed I finished my book. Boo
GTKY: What are your favorite picnic foods and/or favorite places to go for a picnic? Potato salad. Although we had a picnic this week for my birthday and we had sandwiches at Point Pleasant. Lovely spot on the ocean
@emmasemm Wow, really jealous of that picnic. DH did the Great Wall marathon a few years ago and loved it. I love sausage rolls too. Not something you see too often here though.
@glitzandglitter Enjoy the rest of the long weekend!
@MrsBunz Sounds like a great Sunday. Enjoy the relaxation!
@emmasemm Great wall of China? You totally win on picnic spots. Also, sausage rolls sound really tasty! I totally hear you on needing a gym buddy. MH and I are trying to be that for each other, so hopefully we can keep the motivation going! I'm hoping to go to classes with a neighbor who belongs to that gym as well.
@MrsBunz Mixing baked beans and macaroni salad is so good! I totally agree and don't think you're a weirdo at all. I know the 21 day thing isn't accurate, but it still seems like a good starting point! If we can keep this up for the month, I think we'll be on a good path.
@nitnat007 I miss picnics by the ocean, now that I'm in the midwest! Also, I'm jealous of your french toast for breakfast.
CD/DPO: 20/3
Timing: Meh, -4, -1
Typical LP Length: 12
Testing: I'm not feeling very confident this cycle so hopefully I can keep from peeing on things.
R/R: We still have one more day of the weekend!
CS/Q: Nope
GTKY: We like to get nice bread from a local bakery and some goat cheeses. Then pack grapes and Prosecco and go to Duke Gardens. It's privately owned so it's one of the only places you're allowed to have alcohol in public. It's fabulous. Plus the gardens are seriously beautiful!
@darkstar42 That's great that you and your H are building this healthy habit together. That'll make it much easier to keep up!
@glitzandglitter What are you getting done around the house?
@MrsBunz I love lazy Sundays! Glad you're having a relaxing day.
@nitnat007 I hate that feeling right after you finish a good book! Any idea of what you'll read next?
CD/DPO: 36/18
Timing: good
Typical LP Length: dunno
Testing: So many negatives
R/R: Rant - 18dpo and still nothing. Rave - wedding was sooooo much fun!
CS/Q: ugh. Just feeling bloated, moody, and wish I would get AF or BFP one of these days.
GTKY: What are your favorite picnic foods and/or favorite places to go for a picnic?
Ooooo cheese, crackers and meats. I love going out to the vineyards and packing a basket.
