QOTW: What is your favorite healthy food? What is your least favorite healthy food? 

Me: 33, DH: 32

TTC: 2 years
Fertility blood tests all normal
Tilted uterus
3 day ultrasound 17 follicles
HSG: 11/13/13- tubes open
DH SA: SUPER sperm (145 million, 84% motility, 22% morphology)
All infection disease and immunity blood tests NORMAL

FIRST IUI May 2014: 100 mg Clomid days 5-9, third ultrasound CD 13 revealed four follicles 27, 24 and 20 and 13mm. Trigger shot May 28 with IUI May 29 and 30 (fingers crossed) - BFN started spotting 11DPO :(

IUI #2 B2B 6/23 and 6/24, three mature eggs and 130 million sperm! FX this is the month!  BFN 7/8

3rd cycle benched due to cysts - TI with OPK tests -  BFN

3rd mediated cycle: Clomid+Trigger+TI  (three follies left side, one on right as usual....what the hell right ovary get it together and produce some damn follicles!) 7DPO progesterone level 43 with NO suppositories YAY for a natural strong ovulation. Beta canceled started spotting 13DPO - Third time is not a CHARM! 14 day cycle WTF! Everything looks normal - RE wants to start injectables next cycle so this cycle I'm benched

Officially benched until March....but still plan on trying the baking soda douche due to my excessive and thick CM

JANUARY SIGGY CHALLENGE...This is so me!

Re: ***Weight Loss Check In***

  • I am down another 2 pounds and I got my 10% at weight watchers so that was really exciting! (I started losing weight before I join weight watchers so my milestones are a little behind...LOL). QOTW: my favorite healthy food is walnut cranberry salad and my least favorite food is vegetables other than carrots and broccoli!

  • @kensie5226‌-I think focusing on health is the key! So many people lose and gain weight over and over again because that's all they focused on. My favorite saying is that if you focus on health and fitness, the weight will take care of itself!

  • I'm maintaining weight. Last week I didn't "work out" at all but I was moving apartments, which ends up being quite a lot of exercise. However, I think it was all cancelled out by the take-out we had for dinner each night before our kitchen was set up. Today it's back to low-carb, natural-sugar and fitnessblender videos!

    QOTF: I looooove lightly salted, sliced tomatoes. Hate baked fish as a protein.
  • As you can see in the original post I am trying the SQUAT CHALLENGE. I also bought a stationary bike so I can do something physical while I sit around at night and watch TV. I'm super stoked to get the bike out of the box (it folds!) and in my living room. I think we are eloping sometime in February so now I feel I have a TRUE excuse to get my shit in gear and actually lose weight the right way. I hope to be down 10 pounds by end of January. I have NO idea where I'm going to get my dress (it's my second wedding so I'm thinking a much more casual dress), but hope to start looking after I lose some weight. 

    QOTW: I LOVE baked sweet potatoes and almost all fruit, I hate grilled chicken.....which really sucks because there are so many healthy grilled chicken recipes.

  • I will do the challenge! I just did 30 squats as part of another workout so I just add a few more. One of these days, I will upload a few pics of my workout book. When I'm actually utilizing it, I am so on fire for working out and I get really diligent. Sticking with it past a month is the tricky part. Lol.

    Q: I love so many! Broccoli and spinach are two of my faves. I also love asparagus, Brussels sprouts, and so many more fruits and veggies. I don't like beets, cauliflower, or cooked carrots. Also, peas taste bitter to me and green beans are just vile. Lucky for me, the paleo diet excludes peas and green beans (they're legumes), so one more thing to look forward to when I'm full paleo again.
