Re: TTC35+ Fit Club: Week 5 Check-in
Good morning!
Success: Went out to a chinese restaurant for my FIL's birthday yesterday, and stuck with broccoli & garlic sauce and brown rice. Skipped cake (OK, I had 2 small chocolate chip cookies instead... not bad for a birthday party), and had raspberry tea instead of coffee. By now, everyone is very aware of my health kick.
Goals: Three yoga classes this week, and a very brisk walk 1-2 times per day. Would also like to not pig out and get wasted at SIL's baby shower on Saturday.
Changes: I have more energy and less bloat than I did before. This chunky girl is feeling a little better about herself!
Beat stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma May 2011, YEAH!!!
BFP 3/30/12, with fingers and toes all crossed.
AMA (37) + GD = HR, grr.
EDD 12.12.12
Good morning all!
Healthy living success in the past week? I joined WW online. Entering my meals each day has made me accountable to what I put in my mouth, whis is what I needed. I did get 4 days of walking in (last weeks goal). Lost 2.5# and excited to finally see pounds starting to budget. We also solidified our vacation plans and we are going with extended family to Myrtle Beach....that's a big motivator, because I know that I'll have to be seen in a swimsuit.
Goals for this week? Exercise 5 days, figure out a way to not be starving on 29 points/day.
After one month of concentrating on healthy living, have you noticed any changes? I feel better about myself, just knowing that I'm doing something about what I've known was becoming a larger and larger problem over the past year. Haven't found the extra energy yet, but this is the first week that I've had weight loss.
Healthy living success in the past week?
I traveled for work and actually remembered to take my workout clothes and actually used the hotel gym!
Goals for this week?
3 more workouts by Saturday, so 4 total for the week.
After one month of concentrating on healthy living, have you noticed any changes?
I didn't really start until 2.5 weeks ago so I haven't lost any weight (plus I've done some weight training, so any weight loss might nominally be cancelled out by an increase in muscle) but I definitely notice a mood/energy difference already.
I'm joining this group a little late! I need to reduce my stress and also cut back on coffee. I failed miserably this morning by getting off on the wrong foot with my mood and then I had two cups of coffee when I'm trying to quit!
Goals for this week: put in two days on the elliptical machine as I find it very therapeutic for my sacroiliac joint issues. I do a physical therapy routine every day to strengthen the muscles around my hips and pelvis. I also would like to get back into a yoga routine with more meditative practice. I have to learn to let go of my anger and grief over not being able to conceive already. I've become difficult to live with. Poor DH.
Not able to answer the last question because I just joined! Better late than never, huh?
EDIT: Forgot to mention the coffee. My goal this week is to drink one cup each day until I am out of my Keuring K-Cups (I have 3 or 4 left of the regular), then go down to Half-Caff maybe 1 or 2 days (it tastes awful so it's easy to get off that one), then decaf for a few more days and be done with it. I go through this EVERY cycle. This needs to be the last one and I must control my urge to not buy more!

Goals for this week? I have a weakness for Valentine's Day conversation hearts. Going to try to avoid the seasonal aisle at the grocery store.
After one month of concentrating on healthy living, have you noticed any changes? I've actually been on a health kick for about six months. I have lost 15 pounds and I feel SO much better. It definitely helps with the mental part of IF.
TTC #2 since July 2010
March 2012 IVF (MDL Protocol) Started stims 3/3; ER 3/11 (9R, 8M, 7F) ET 3/16 (5dt of 2 blasts graded 3AB and 3BA, 3 frosties(!!) Beta 3/26 = 386; Beta 3/28 = 827; u/s 4/11 says TWINS! Boy/Girl Twins delivered at 36 weeks 6 days
Healthy living success in the past week? I made it the gym Tuesday, Wednesday, worked out at home on Saturday and went to the gym today. I ate pretty well every day but Saturday, which was a planned GTG with some of the local women from the GP board on TN.
Goals for this week? Try not to let one huge meal on the weekend ruin my progress. Get to the gym/workout at home at least 3 times.
After one month of concentrating on healthy living, have you noticed any changes? After a "good" day, I notice some weight loss. Two weeks ago I was at my highest weight ever. Now that was after three days of "birthday eating". Saturday I was 7 pounds less than that, but my weight has been fluctuating so I don't feel like I can truly say I lost 7 pounds. It's more like I'm back to what my "starting" weight should have been. The biggest change is no heartburn. I had been having it almost non-stop for about a month and a half. Since I've been eating healthier, I haven't had it!
