  • Physical- I'm systematically cutting foods out of my diet one at a time to see if I feel better. First, dairy. It's been 4 days, I feel MUCH better. I may be lactose intolerant :(

    Mental- "reading" The Kitchen God's Wife (and of course by reading I mean it's sitting on my nightstand)

    Spiritual- I started my antidepressants and I feel like myself again for the first time in about 5 years (Since we started TTC our daughter and had primary IF)

    TTC #2 since 1/1/13

  • P: I downloaded the app lose it! And have been tracking my food since Saturday. I am doing much better with not snacking, and I'm making sure to get my 90 g of protein a day. That's kind of hard for me, but I've done it for the last two days. So far this week, I'm well under on my calories, so that's encouraging. But I do have a lunch date at Red Robin today, and I haven't decided if I want to go for it and get my favorite, or get a healthier choice. Decisions decisions

    M: DH and I have been better about taking some time together in the evenings to relax after we put DS down for bed. We've been going back downstairs, and watching an episode or two of Star Trek. It sounds so silly, but it's so relaxing and great for marriage.

    S: We got a blowup pool last weekend. I have been taking DS out into the backyard and sitting in the pool for about half an hour in the afternoons before naptime and it feels so relaxing. Just getting outside and seeing him have so much fun is very rejuvenating. Yesterday, all three of us went out after dinner and that was really great family time. It makes my heart happy.
    Happily Mrs. C

    DS weaned in April 2014
    Taking a break from herbs and just riding the healthy train.  
    Planning medicated cycle end of summer.  FX I get KU before then!!!
  • Physical- I am very happy to report that I have worked out every day this week so far.  I started doing my couck to 5K app again to make sure I'm not over doing it (as if I even could running as slow as I do).  I also have been walking with my BFF and today I used the elliptical at the gym.  I am **trying** to eat better and low carb and have been doing great except for one slip up yesterday.

    Mental- My book club is reading "Me Before You" and it is SO good!!

    Spiritual- I fed my soul by eating a #2 meal from McDonalds yesterday for dinner.  On Wednesdays I have to see my evil identical twin sister because our daughters are in dance together and it's always so emotionally draining.  She pregnant with #4 so it's been really hard for me to watch someone who looks exactly like me pregnant when I'm having so much trouble.  I am also trying to be more kind to myself.

  • Physical- Any diet / work out achievements you'd like to brag about this week? 
    I've relaxed the lo card diet a lot.  It just wasn't working for me.  For one thing with the Met and the Doxycicline if I don't have some carbs first thng in the morning, I spend the whole morning throwing up.  BUT, I'm still doing "good" carbs only- steel cut oats, beans, vegetables, etc and tons of protein, and my blood sugars have been really good.  
    Mental- R.E.A.D.I.N.G?! 
    Is Your Body Baby Friendly by Alan Beer MD.  I'm only a little ways in, but it's an interesting read.  It was recommended by a friend who had repeat loss until she had the immunology work up recommended in the book, an a treatment plan based on it.  She had 7 losses previously, and now has 2 living children.  It talks about failed IVFs in additon to RPL.  
    Spiritual- Have you fed your soul lately?
    We just came out to my ILs about IF and our CP which is a huge weight off.  It allows me to be a lot more open, which is more my nature.

  • Physical- Any diet / work out achievements you'd like to brag about this week? I have been on a clean eating diet for two weeks now, I have lost 10 lbs, my goal is 25/30 more. I am starting a new exercise reg today and am really really anxious for it so I can relieve stress from my already shitty ass day.

    Mental- R.E.A.D.I.N.G?! what the crap is that? I barely have time to read, I am still on the Tony Hillerman book I mentioned in the book club thread....

    Spiritual- Have you fed your soul lately? I am going to feed it right into the dirt with my workout tonight. I got a depressing call today about school and I am pissed off. Then I am going to jog to clear my mind maybe some yoga..... right now I dont wanna talk to anyone int he fam about our RE consult cuz they are all twits about IF... but it is all that is on my mind, so I need to detox my emotions tonight

    P: I try to watch sugar and eat a high volume of produce. My house was sick last week and we were lazy about meals but we were OK this week. Yesterday and today, though.. Oh no. Real PMS has been worse than normal and for the last two days I cannot stop eating. I just had 2 pieces of toast AFTER dinner... And for dinner we had baked chicken, oven potatoes, steamed broccoli and spinach salad- so it was a big meal!

    M- DH and DS got me the Divergent books for Mother's Day. I'm trying to read those.

    S- I am slacking here!
