Re: Monday Motivation
On Saturday, I presented at a professional conference, and today, I have some follow-ups and contacts from that. I have in the past suffered from impostor syndrome pretty frequently so I like having the feeling that I am doing something important in my field and people respect my work.

@bumpybump I love seeing baby animals at the zoo!
I have a run planned when I get home from work today. It will be #3 since I decided I was going to stop worrying so much about the effect on TTC and just do it. I'm starting out slow at around 2-2.5 mi until my body gets used to it again.

@lulu1180 Enjoy your run tonight!
@Pinky917 Yay for cake!
I was honestly struggling with motivation this morning - this past weekend was so beautiful and so much fun so I was bummed it is supposed to rain tonight. But, then I realized that will give me a good excuse to curl up with DH and our pup and get some crocheting done! Just have to get through this Monday...

I should say, that I do not have PCOS, but I have just been unsuccessful for a bit, so I am hoping on a little magic now.
https://natural-fertility-info.com/fertility-herbs This website is reallly helpful with all the herbs relating to specific issues. Maca is on there a lot and I always take that during my WTO. I sneak it in H's food too.

@RedBreast35 good for you for doing something positive with your "extra" hour! Also, that gif made my day - I've watched about 35 times so far!
@Pinky917 it's so nice to hear someone say that they're excited about turning 30. I was such a drama queen about turning 30. I just roll my eyes when I think about it now. Enjoy your pre-birthday week!
Just like @lulu1180, I'm trying to get back into my routine of running 3 or 4 times per week. I notice such a positive difference in myself when I'm running - lower stress, I sleep better... and my pants fit a little better too

@RedBreast35 Congrats on making it to the gym!!! I hope you are able to keep it up!
@Pinky917 I’m having DH give me a little push when I need it to help me get my butt out the door. Also, I dreaded turning 30, I’m glad you are looking forward to it!
@RunRestRepeat Yes to snuggling on the couch on a rainy day!
@Krys So happy to hear you’re doing better! Also, I love the gif of that little girl!
@JuneRoseRuby Fx your new regimen will help you get your bfp!
@JulesDP I was the same when I was turning 30. I still don’t feel like I’m even in my 30s! Also, I hope you’re able to keep up your routine!

I'm a bit late, but my morning went a lot better knowing I had lunch with my DH and our pup! Now i just have to get through the next four hours and Monday will be over. Plus, it's a short week here!

I'm excited that on Sunday we found a dog to adopt. Originally I dragged DH there because they had a Yorkie but even I wasn't enthralled by her. They have a beautiful Sheltie that's great with small dogs (our Maltese is 3.5lbs), walks well on the leash, likes people but isn't a spazz, etc. She'll be coming home with us December 15 since we leave on a 25 day vacation soon. She does have heart worm and will start treatment in January after she settles in. Her name is Maggie.
I just remembered my Maltese has to go to the vet for her heart worm preventative.
