I did pretty well this week and exercised every day Sunday thru today so i am pretty proud of myself for that!  Though I didn't weight myself since AF just came this morning and I know for a fact I am crazy bloated.  I am hoping I lost just a tiny bit.  
Emotionally I'm so-so. The weekend was really hard for me and I just had a difficult time functioning, the rest of the week was ok...  I actually haven't had a "normal" cycle yet and this one was going long so I thought I was pregnant for a bit.  The fact that I'm not was a relief (we just aren't quite ready), but more surprisingly I was a bit disappointed in the fact.  I really didn't think I would have felt disappointment since I am terrified to try...

Tuesday was my birthday, and I went snowboarding. It was a nice treat for myself. Plus, it's a lot of exercise so I feel good about that. Emotionally, I don't know. I've had both good and bad days this week. I have a diagnostic procedure tomorrow morning that I am crazy anxious about.

Physically~ Going well, yay for WW! I'm down 31.4 lbs from my PP weight with DS last year. People other than DH are noticing and commenting too... it makes me happy but an "empty happy".

Emotionally/Mentally~ Hanging in there and going along. I had a meltdown with my mom on the phone last week but I am feeling a little uplifted this week. At work, I am having some difficulty focusing and I think my dissertation adviser has noticed, but he isn't saying anything and I'm thankful for that. At home, I am trying to be positive and plan some fun things for DS's birthday coming up, like Magdalina did.

This week was so-so physically, I've still been doing my yoga twice a week and the gym once, but it's all been kinda half-a$$ed because I'm in the 2ww and acting paranoid like I should take it easy just in case... ugh.  Eating though has still been good and healthy.  Emotionally I think I'm doing ok, although TTCAL is taking it's toll on me.

This week has been a bit of a rollercoaster. Wednesday was great when I met up with a good friend and her baby. And then yesterday, I had the follow-up postpartum check-up from hell. I was surrounded by very pregnant women and just lost it. But today is a better day.

I finally realize I can't rush the grieving process.

Glad you came to this conclusion.  It sucks but it's so true.

This is my first post on the loss board.  It has been two weeks since we lost our son at 29 weeks. 

Physically: Last week hitting the gym felt good, but my bleeding increased, so I've been taking it easier this week.  Enjoyed some moderate walks in the park.  Eating lots of fresh fruits, veggies.  Treated myself to some sushi after all these months.  That was nice.

Emotionally: Trying.
