Health goals?

Mental/Emotional goals?
Spiritual goals? (for those that want to)
Let's hear it ladies!

2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
and to brag about my imperfect DH. he gave me my memorial necklace for Mother's Day.

def not stepping on mine!
Last week was pretty good... did yoga 3x, acupuncture, ate well, but no runs (but I'll blame that on being in the 2WW)...
Health Goals: Continue eating more fruit (I love veggies, but prefer chocolate to fruit)... plan to bring a banana, apple, or orange to work with me every day. Also have some great dinner items on the menu.... eggplant/zucchini/onion/mushroom garlic naan pizzas, sweetpotato bean burritos, veggie thai red curry stirfry, veggie baked ziti... Acupuncture on Wednesday.
Fitness: I don't think I'm going to make yoga at all until Sat. Would go tomorrow, but it's H's bday.... I might try to fit a run or two in, well see.
Mental: Continue to 'react' maturely... not get sucked into pity parties. Also not to let MF take over....
...also noteworthy for the week, I have my initial RE visit on Thursday. I'm not expecting much, just a review of history and probably a request panel for CD3 bloodwork .... **hoping I don't get to CD3**

Health goals: Stick to my 1500 calorie diet! Lose 1-1.5 lbs.
Fitness goals: Work out at least 3 times this week. Take Austin for a walk twice, if he is not getting sick. He just threw up, poor guy.
Mental/Emotional goals: Well I hate to say it, but theBump is taking over my life. I will sit on the computer all day and watch and respond. This week I am limmiting myself to only 2 hours a day on theBump (I am almost there already today). That is still a lot, but it will require me to get off my butt and do my other goals.
Spiritual: My sister and I are the devotion leaders at a Christian music camp this summer. I want to get 1/2 of the book read that is going to be the basis of the devotions.
Other: Today it has been 3 months since we said goodbye to Grant. I am determined to keep myself busy. I plan on spending time outside in the yard today. DH and I started a project outside yesterday that is going to take us a while to finish. I want ot work on that a bit today.

This is going on my wish list! I'm a bad girl who lost the Tiffany necklace her parents got her for a high school graduation present...this would be a wonderful replacement, I think!
And what a sweetheart your DH is for picking up the hint AND giving it to you on the perfect day!
BFP#3 9-4-13 Benjamin Lee born 4-28-14
made them up mostly. The sweet potato bean burritos I found on a blog (I thought the blogger was a ttcal bumpie, but I forget her sn) I posted that recipe in my blog last week. Everything else is pretty much the different ways we cook our veggies every week... saute them up and throw them with something!

Erinn, good luck at the RE and I will keep my FX for no CD3!
I just checked out your blog for the burrito recipe...I'm an Anthro lover, too!

I love that you started a new writing project! I journal but I'd like to get more focused. can you PIP the knick knack from Mom?
and I know there are some funky and hip churches where you live. Good luck with the move,

Alright...pic is not going to work. Maybe some other time.
Well...it's official... I hit my limit for the day. If you need me I will be back tomorrow...or maybe a quick check tonight. I need to be strong!
another guilty of being on here too much... the problem is my work flow comes in swings... being an analyst, I'm busy during certain weeks of the month doing month end analysis and certain times of the year doing half year and qtrly budgets... other than that, I have some down town.... I try hard to not bump at home, but somehow I always sneak on....

Hi ladies!
Health goals?
Definitely eat better. Yesterday was DH's birthday and I ate too much cake. So the plan is to start on the cycle diet, and hopefully lose 2lbs by the end of the week.
We have a farmer's market on Thursdays so I can can't wait to go shop for great meat and produce!
Fitness goals?
I didn't make it to yoga last week, stupid AF was being a pain. So I want to go Wednesday & Saturday (DH comes along on Saturdays) this week and continue this way. Also, I need to put myself on the treadmill at least 15mins/day. if not more.
Mental/Emotional goals?
I've been upset at my body. Why was I able to get pregnant right away both times, and now it's been 2 cycles and still nothing. It doesn't make any sense to me, but maybe it is better to wait a few cyles than having another loss? I don't know but I need to stop obsessing with TTC and just relax.
Other goals
Paint my house! Kitchen is done, but dining and living room need to get done!

woohoo for getting a bike! I need to get a helmet, and then start riding mine again. Maybe I'll do that this week/weekend
and ::nom nom nom:: to the crab legs, mmm mmm
finally, LOVE your attitude about loss being taboo, I feel the same way. I try not to talk about it in a way to make ppl uncomfortable or make it look like I'm fishing for pity, but in a way that it happened, it sucked, I'll keep moving forward with my life and never forget or push down those feelings that I experience(d). I figure the more that ppl can be aware the better.... glad you and your mom had a good talk.

I'm having a rough afternoon all of a sudden. It's been really hard for me to focus on anything else today.

Hi Guys, Sorry I'm late here today. My job is all over the place and today has been busier then I have been in a long time! Everyone sounds like they're in a really good place right now! I love it. And all the healthy recipes are making me hungry... Ok, let's see...
Health goals?
My health goals for eating are to cut back on carbs. They are my downfall! And they're so bad for me. I feel myself packing on weight when I eat them, but they're so irresistible. So I plan on eating lots of lentils, chicken, salads, kale, greek yogurt, mangos, and bananas this week. No bagels!!!!!
Fitness goals?
Since I am back to waiting to O I am going to pick up my intensity the next week or two. I am back on my 30 day shred DVD. My goal is to do that 4 times, 30 min on the treadmill 2 times, and 2 yoga classes. As I type this, it sounds like a lot, but I already did shred yesterday so I think I can get there.
Mental/Emotional goals?
I've been kind of bottling up my emotions lately. I hate that this whole process is so draining and I feel like if I express how sad it makes me to DH he is going to get sad too and I don't want to bring him down with me. Don't know if that makes sense? My goal would be to communicate better with DH. I also want to focus less on the whole TTC process, I plan on doing this with upping my workout intensity- something else to focus on. It's so thought consuming! Which leads to stress and impatience. Ugh.
Other goals
I'm going to get caught up on my expenses for work! LOL, my manager would be happy. I hate submitting my expense reports so I let them pile up for weeks and now I have 3 weeks worth to do at once.

Petra - so happy for you that you got a bike!! I had a really cheap one last summer that I enjoyed riding, until it broke
I have to look into getting one this year.
R- I love love love the bean necklace!! So simple and beautiful. And I love that DH remembered that you wanted it and surprised you with it. Very sweet and thoughtful. So cute how they can surprise us like that at just the right moment!
Erinn - How is your mom doing? I hope she is doing alright

My mom is doing okay... just worried that the puppy may hve picked up the infection, but it seems like he's doing ok.
Good luck with the workout goals!
PS- I paged you earlier, but it's probably on page 2 or 3 by now... how was sat? feel free to respond via PM if you like!
