Healthy Living Check In!

Auki13 · February 2012

Please feel free to write about how your week went physically, emotionally, mentally... Anything you are proud about or need to vent about. If you have never posted before but would like to join, please feel free. This is a very casual check in for anyone who wants to participate!

I'm thinking of changing up the format a bit- let me know what you ladies think! (Taken from TTCAL) hope they don't mind.

The good- I lost 6 poinds with my stomach flu and it seems like 3 of those are going to stay off! Yeah I know it's not ideal but it got me under a weight I have been struggling with for months.

The bad- the flu totally threw me off and I only exercized once this week.

The proud- I have been pretty good about not eating the small temptations- I'm especially proud with all the Valentines goodies around!

The plan- I want to start tracking my caloric intake and go workout at least 3 times this week.

The good - We had a wonderful mini-vacation to Disneyland on Sunday/Monday, just DH, DD & I. It was a really nice treat & was such a joy to see her eyes light up with every new thing. It was nice to just have fun and forget about stuff.

The bad - My EDD is looming, and I'm getting anxious. I'm not so much worried about the exact day, but that once it passes I will fall apart because then he will really have "supposed to have been here". Also I feel like everyone I know IRL has forgotten by now & doubt anyone will remember my due date.

The proud - I'm officially BELOW my pre-pregnancy weight. It's amazing but exercise actually does work! I'm proud that I have stuck with it.

The plan - Start TTC next month. My cycles are SO irregular so wish us luck!

Congrats on being below pp weight!!! That's awesome, and hopefully puts you on the right track for TTC. :-)
I hope your EDD isn't as bad as you are expecting. I know that for some of my milestones the time leading up to them have actually been worse than the actual date. Not sure if that helps you at all, but I'm hoping it's an ok day for you. (((HUGS)))

The Good - My husband and I signed up to do the March of Dimes Walk for Babies and after just over a week we've already hit our goal so I upped our goal. We also have our tattoos scheduled to be done on 3/12/12. We're super excited.

The Bad - I'm still reeling over the insensitive letter and information we received from the sister hospital of the hospital where Corbin passed. I plan on writing a letter to them soon. I was doing "alright" up to that point and now I'm back down. Again.

The Proud - Last week was a big week of "firsts" for me. I finally went into Corbin's room for the first time since he passed and went to visit our friends and their baby in the same NICU where Corbin was.

The Plan - to come up with a plan. I need to lose some weight and I need to figure out what to do with my life. DH and I decided to hold off on TTCAL until after our Mediterranean cruise at the end of October.

The good: I finally got AF last week. So something in my body IS normal right now. The bad: She lasted 11 days. Not good. AF used to visit for 4-5 days . I also "tried" having intercourse but it hurt so much I had to stop. Poor DH. The proud: I'm also back to my pre pregnancy wt. Yay! The plan: Take my nclex next week and hopefully be an rn by the time I return to work. Start working out . I want to be in great shape for when we start TTC again which probably won't be for another few months but I want to start being healthy now.
