WAYDTGKU: Headed to the lady doctor today. PNV, CM.
R/R: Back to the daily grind today! I’m actually partially looking forward to being on schedule. I have a lunch packed I’m looking forward to eating (veggies, guacamole, & tuna).
R/R: Had a monitoring u/s today! I have 9 follicles- all too small to measure, but they are happy. I am a bit disappointed as I want TONS, but, we shall see how I grow them. Next u/s is Wednesday.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Since a lot of us likely have fleeting thoughts of the gym in our minds after the long weekend.....
R/R: Weird weather we`re having it snows then rains then snows some more and tomorrow it`s suppose to rain again. This really puts a damper on trying to get a workout outside.
R/R: I thought yesterday would've been CD 1, but AF was a no show, and she's still MIA today. So odd because i've had a 14 day LP exactly the last two cycles, and now this one is being odd. Doesn't matter anyway really because I was benched the whole time, so there's no way i'm KU. Oh well...I will try to be patient. Rave- we went to a Christmas market this weekend, and it was so much fun. I freaking love Christmas. All the food, and festivities! Can't wait to put up my decorations tomorrow
CS/Q: I might post it tomorrow to get a CS if AF is still MIA
@jrm_14 good for you, packing a healthy lunch, sounds tasty! @kiwi2628 good luck with the sciencing @Stargazer1lily it snows then rains like that here too... then the snow is so heavy to move @blackhottamales hope your dentist appt goes well @josie12367 I want to go to a Christmas market!

@matryoshkadoll YEA for a shower stalker cousin to my beefiness! Haha! That would be awesome if you could. The handmade wooden trinkets are always my favourite! What do you make? Hopefully you just O early and have a normal LP still...
@josie12367 Oooo Christmas market sounds so much fun!!! Hope AF decides to show her hoe-bag face soon so you can get a new cycle started. (also fyi, I read your PM, just haven't had time to respond, will do later today )
So I'm not sure where I belong atm, so I'm just floating/commenting on both TWW & WTO today, possibly all week. I'll probably post in the CS thread to get an opinion on where I should be, or just wait and see what happens the GTKY I'm Skullcrushing 4 Scoops lol <---- realized it's the same GTKY and it feels like fate that I'm floating/commenting both.

WAYDTGKU: PNV, HIO, Pom juice, and starting temping and OPK this cycle.
R/R: Stupid AF arrived this morning, waking me up out of a deeeep sleep She came with worse than usual cramps so today sucks already. Plus I dropped my bagel with cream cheese side down all down the front of myself today. Is it 6pm yet?? On the bright side, I am finally starting to get back into a work out routine and kinda excited to work out later, as long as im not still dying from cramps.
CS/Q: This is my 1st cycle temping/charting so i'm sure i will have questions closer to FW.

@jrm_14 yay for getting back on schedule, your lunch sounds yummy too! @kiwi2628 FX for you! @Stargazer1lily Our weather is doing the same thing here in Chicago.. no snow yet but will be super cold then today and tomorrow is supposed to be almost 60 degrees.

@jrm_14 I love having a more defined schedule during the week. Weekends/holidays throw me off so bad!
@kiwi2628 FX for growing follies!!
@Stargazer1lily I hate when the weather can't pick a lane
@blackhottamales I hate going to the dentist!
@josie12367 I love it when our cycles decide to change things up, makes life so much easier on us. Ugh.
@matryoshkadoll I love charting so I can see what's going on! I find it so interesting!
@lurvleybunchococonuts Haha, definitely a sign you are supposed to be straddling the line between both boards!
@kobrien827 Ugh, definitely a very Mondayish Monday for you. Hope your day gets better!
@leafyarch Good luck in the TWW!
@jsnakehole I totally hear you on the burn-out. Because I still haven't O'd yet this month (and was expecting it 2-5 days ago) we are totally there and super annoyed we have to keep HIO like rabbits. We are too old for this!
Month/Cycle: 9/14

WAYDTGKU: All the things
R/R: Rant: The Bump from my computer won't show me any pictures people have posted and it won't let me insert photos. Any ideas? It just started over the weekend so not sure why the change. Still works fine on my phone though. Rave: Having a work from home day all day in my pjs.
CS/Q: Still no signs of O approaching. Have had a bunch of EWCM for like a week now but no temp rise or positive OPKs. My cycle is usually pretty stable at 28-30 days so who knows what's going on. Every so often I have a cycle thats like 40 days so maybe that's what my body has decided on this month.

Since a lot of us likely have fleeting thoughts of the gym in
our minds after the long weekend..... I like to go to the gym on my lunch breaks. I hope to get a swim in today. But to be honest half the time I make it to
the locker room and then decide to just sit in the sauna instead lol.

@jrm_14 I was looking
forward to going back to work today too.
There’s something about having a routine that makes me happy.
@kiwi2628 “I’m going to
have to science the shit out of this!” –The Martian. I love that book.
@Stargazer1lily If it’s going to be cold it might as well
rain, right?
@josie12367 I love Christmas too! I think the only Christmas market I’ve been
to was in Bordeaux France. It was
amazing! I don’t think there are any
around where we live. We went to a craft
show this weekend… but that’s not the same thing. Lol
@matryoshkadoll I have a crazy idea that I want to start
woodworking some day… I’m sure it’s a lot harder than it looks. But it seems like it would be very fun to
try.
@kobrien827 My cramps have been extra bad the last few
months too. I noticed it the month I started
taking PNV… not sure if there’s a correlation or not?
@jsnakehole I totally get burnt out too. I don’t know how DH can do it lol.

@kobrien827 Sorry AF woke you up! That's some serious cramps and a rough start to a Monday. Hope the cramps ease up!
@leafyarch FX you did O. Better early than late I say!
@jsnakehole Maybe shoot for EOD with a couple in a row when you turn an OPK? Be cautious though, Clomid dried up my CM...So I had to go hunting for it. Fx!
@elothair Do you chart CP? I find it and CM a good predictor of O. I get tons of EWCM too, but only a couple of days of my CP being high soft and open. Might be worth a try to help pin point O
@LJMoon6 Yes! The markets over here are just lovely! We're trying to hit one every weekend up till Christmas. Enjoy the peeing on all the things with your OPKs. Always a fun little science experiment! And, WELCOME!
@jrm_14. GL with your appt! Is this with a new doctor? Also, your lunch sounds yummy. @kiwi2628. Your GTKY name made me laugh! Also, does your RE continue to do u/s to check follicle size? Do they do the egg retrieval on a particular set day or just whenever eggs are mature enough? @Stargazer1lily Sorry for the crazy weather! Do you ever do workout videos? It’s something you could do inside. @blackhottamales I’ve missed you! You have one dot more than me on your chart. Haha I’ve been debating whether or not to temp and haven’t started so far, so.... @josie12367. Did you find any good gifts or decorations at the Christmas market? Also, thank you for the Clomid info the other day. I’m going to send you a PM in a bit. @matryoshkadoll. For clean eating, are you following anything particular or just incorporating lots of fruits/veggies/lean meats etc? Also, we are CD buddies! @lurvleybunchococonuts. Yes, stay with us! How have you been? How was your holiday? @kobrien827. What workouts have you been doing? Also, I’m sorry for CD1 and the bagel spill! ((Hugs)) @leafyarch GL in TWW! @jsnakehole get it girl!! . We will have to trade some ideas on spicing things up for the next week or so. @elothair. Sorry for the confusing cycle! Were you able to finish your lantern project this weekend? @LJMoon6. Welcome! I love swimming too, but I rarely get to go anymore since our local pool got rid of the morning hours. . The sauna also sounds nice!

@dukestar5 The holiday was nice overall Some MIL drama, but nothing really new there. I'm alright, in a constant state of annoyance with my cycle/body But again, nothing really new lol. The myo-inositol has been fine so far. Nothing really all that new or exciting going on here. I plan on making a turkey pot pie for dinner tonight How have you been?

@dukestar5 I really love Zumba and WERQ right now. I hate working out by myself and will typically quit early so these classes keep me engaged and they are fun! What type of workouts do you do? I am always looking for new ideas!

@dukestar5 PM away! I did find some awesome stuff! I found xmas ornaments made out of painted sea shells, banana slice earrings that are hot pinkish in colour (really cool jeweller that makes it out of natural sources), pearl earrings, a Christmas-y tea light holder that is this aluminium horse with snowflake cut outs, handmade sweaters, candied almonds, mulled wine, crepes....ahhh! I mayyyyyy have gone overboard in retrospect....Lol!
@lurvleybunchococonuts. Another pie?! What # crust are you on now? . I’m impressed! Sorry for the MIL drama. Had a bit of that here too, but overall it was a restful holiday with lots of good food and fun family conversations. @kobrien827. What is WERQ? I usually love to run. I do an occasional yoga class, but I wish I could go more often. I’ve been debating joining a gym for the classes—like you mentioned, it definitely helps with motivation. @josie12367. Sounds like you made out big! I think we may need a picture of the pink banana earrings. I love all sorts of crafty things and wish I had more time to make them. Also, sent you a PM.
@josie12367 I don’t track CP - I may look into starting that next cycle, thanks for the tip! @dukestar5 Not even close! I got one big one together and about 2/3 of the other cuts done. I am expecting it to take me at least another weekend or two to get them all built and then one more weekend for painting/staining. Do you only take the 4 days of clomid for the whole cycle?
@elothair. I’m so excited to see the finished product! I may steal the idea for next year. Also, it is only taken for 5 days—either CD3-7 or CD5-9. I’m not sure what the difference is or if it is more of the doctor’s preference. I’m on the lowest dose.
@dukestar5 WERQ is like zumba as its all dancing but more top 40/hip hop music. Zumba has more Latin type music but I love them both! You should check them out!

@josie12367 Beefy shower stalker Ohhhh, so envious of the Christmas market! @kiwi2628 sorry for the slow growing follicles. FX they grow grow grow! @dukestar5 another shower stalker!! . Yes, new doctor. Healthy groceries feel so refreshing after craptastic eating.
@dukestar5 I have been doing workout videos lately but I like to get outside too for a jog. Oh well soon the snow will stay and I can bust out the snowshoes.
@josie12367 Thanks! I’m super jealous about the Christmas
markets. We recently moved to a new city
and I found out the other day that they are having a tree lighting ceremony. I’m sooo excited to go. There will be cider,
cookies, carolers, and Santa! Lol
@dukestar5 I love swimming. My parents put me in competitive
swimming when I was 5 (I have scoliosis and my doctors recommended it for back strengthening).
I only just started swimming again in Sept.
It’s almost been 10 years. My
skin gets way too dry in the winter though.

@josie12367 That's so frustrating to be in limbo. What do you do for decorations? outside and inside? also your gym name is gross @matryoshkadoll welcome! @lurvleybunchococonuts yay--i'm happy to have you around but i hope you leave limbo at some point. @Kobrien827 i'm sorry for CD1, working out always helps my cramps (at least it distracts me during...) I hope they are too bad for you tonight. FX for a better Tuesday! @leafyarch GL over in TWW @jsnakehole are you having any side effects from clomid? @elothair oh sorry for the long FW--hopefully you O soon so you can catch a break @LJMoon6 welcome--i'm sorry to hear you are sick. fx you get better quickly. @dukestar5 It's been a long time! good for you for getting to the store. I really need to do that. I've been mean to ask--do you do much stretching? I'm so horrible at stretching but i think i need to find a good morning and night stretching routine. too many creeks and cracks happening as of late.
It's nice to see the boards perked up some today! (including myself for posting )
@blackhottamales. I hate to admit this, but I am terrible at stretching! . I actually had an IT band injury a few years ago and I saw a PT once to get some exercises that inlvole a stretchy band. I rarely do them any more, but I really should. My goal is to do more yoga too!
@jrm_14 Hope your appointment went well! And yay for another "shorty shorts!" @kiwi2628 Hope your follies grow nice and big and strong! @blackhottamales Hope your dentist appointment was okay today. @josie12367 My LP last cycle was longer than I expected too (I was happy about it though since it was 11 days instead of 9 like my last several cycles). It still made me wonder though even though I was benched. For a fleeting second I thought "maybe I got KU 13 days before O!" lol Hope AF starts for you soon so you can start fresh with a new cycle! And the Christmas market sounds awesome! Crepes? Yummy! I second @dukestar5's request for a pic of the banana earrings! @lurvleybunchococonuts Please float around between both threads! I'm pretty sure I can speak for everyone here in saying that we always love hearing from you. I'm sorry for the struggles with your cycle. That's gotta be so incredibly frustrating. FX for you that you O soon (or that AF comes so you can start over again). @kobrien827 Ugh, sorry about your rough day! That's not a great way to start a Monday. I hope you have a better day tomorrow. @jsnakehole lol at "going to town on my husband." Ten days in a row? Yikes! I think our longest streak a few cycles ago was 6 days and I thought I was going to die. Good luck! @elothair FX you get your O soon! @LJMoon6 Welcome! hope you feel better soon. @dukestar5 Yay for healthy groceries! We just did the same today and it feels good to have some healthy food again (I say this as I snack on some chocolate...whoops). @stargazer1lily@dukestar5 I like to do workout videos too! I used to run outside a lot but got kind of burned out on it. Plus, after training for a few marathons during winter, I'm a complete wuss when it comes to cold weather and haaaaate going outside to run in the cold! So now most of my workouts are from YouTube. @blackhottamales I need to do more stretching too. Sometimes I try to do it while watching TV at night, but I need to make it a habit.
Month/Cycle: 6/6 (1 benched) I think I've been counting this wrong. I always get so confused. Oh well!
CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: About to start HIO now that AF is gone.
R/R: I had a yummy beer with dinner and I'm hoping to veg out and read my book tonight. I stayed up too late last night reading so I need to try to go to bed on time tonight! I got a sort of job offer today for a 6-month temporary rotation in another office in my same organization. I'd be working closely with some really senior managers and editors, so now I need to try to make a decision! I'm so bad at making decisions, so I'll have to think on it for a couple of days. The work doesn't sound super exciting (I'd be doing random spot checks of reports released throughout the whole organization), but it sounds like a great opportunity to be working so close to senior managers. Decisions, decisions.
@offtoneverland. Oooooh, the new job offer sounds promising! So you wouldn’t be on the same team right? And you’d have a very different role? Working with senior leaders sounds exciting as they will get to see your work ethic and potential to continuing moving up in the org.
@dukestar5 Yes, I'd be on a different team for those 6 months, then I'd go back to the same position I'm in now. That's part of my hesitation, because I don't really want to come back to this position. But most of the issues in my job lately have been related to personnel (bad management and really junior workers who don't know what they're doing), so perhaps things would change in those 6 months! I'd be in a different role too and it'd be great learning from the senior editors. I'm not sure if my office would release me for those 6 months, so we'll see! I'll be thinking and praying on it the next few days and hope to come to a good decision!
Busy day at work so I’m posting later than I’d like but... @jrm_14 I too love a schedule, but even after 5 days off I wasn’t ready to go back! @kiwi2628 I LOL’d @ sciencing my uterus. Haha, fx your follicles grow. @blackhottamales I have a dentist appointment next week I’m already dreading @josie12367 I love Christmas markets, going to one in a few weekends! @kobrien827 sorry about AF, hope the cramps lighten up @LJMoon6 welcome! A sauna sounds much better than the workout waiting for me tonight. @offtoneverland what type of beer? I’m a huge beer fan also good luck making your decision, that’s one of my weaknesses!

@nmbrcrnchr1 Thank you! I'm glad you had a decent day even though it was Monday after a long weekend. We had a white IPA from New Belgium. New Belgium is our favorite! What kind of beer do you like?
@offtoneverland I love IPAs, but I also love Ales and Pilsners too (pretty much any kind of beer) but IPAs are probably my favorite...Over the weekend I had (too many) Elysian Space Dust IPA - it was delicious!!
@josie12367 He mostly does bigger furniture type stuff since we have a mill and can make wood slabs, but I've been trying to get him to do smaller things like chess boards. @kobrien827 oh my worst cd1, not the bagel @dukestar5 I don't follow a particular diet, but yes mostly produce and meat. I get iron deficient easily so I've been trying to eat more meat and dark greens. I also don't strictly cut out carbs, but try not to buy them--if I have a craving it just has to be bad enough to want to bake myself some bread or cookies. I've also been trying to stop drinking coffee to deal with a cortisol issue

CS/Q: This is my 1st cycle temping/charting so i'm sure i will have questions closer to FW.

Since a lot of us likely have fleeting thoughts of the gym in our minds after the long weekend.....

@jrm_14 yay for getting back on schedule, your lunch sounds yummy too!
@kiwi2628 FX for you!
@Stargazer1lily Our weather is doing the same thing here in Chicago.. no snow yet but will be super cold then today and tomorrow is supposed to be almost 60 degrees. I actually like snow so i'm looking forward to it
@josie12367 LOL at your gym name! Christmas is my favorite too! Have fun decorating tomorrow!!

R/R: We're officially in our ten days of doing it until we can't do it no more. It's fun now, but by day ten I think I'm going to be burnt out. My class is being pretty crazy today, but that's what happens after a long weekend. Hopefully I won't get observed today.
CS/Q: None- I decided not to temp this cycle (I can't wake up consistently and I was stressing over it), and had a negative OPK this morning.

@kiwi2628 FX for growing follies!!
@Stargazer1lily I hate when the weather can't pick a lane
@blackhottamales I hate going to the dentist!
@josie12367 I love it when our cycles decide to change things up, makes life so much easier on us. Ugh.
@matryoshkadoll I love charting so I can see what's going on! I find it so interesting! @lurvleybunchococonuts Haha, definitely a sign you are supposed to be straddling the line between both boards!
@kobrien827 Ugh, definitely a very Mondayish Monday for you. Hope your day gets better! @leafyarch Good luck in the TWW!
@jsnakehole I totally hear you on the burn-out. Because I still haven't O'd yet this month (and was expecting it 2-5 days ago) we are totally there and super annoyed we have to keep HIO like rabbits. We are too old for this!
Month/Cycle: 9/14
CD: 19 WAYDTGKU: All the things
R/R: Rant: The Bump from my computer won't show me any pictures people have posted and it won't let me insert photos. Any ideas? It just started over the weekend so not sure why the change. Still works fine on my phone though. Rave: Having a work from home day all day in my pjs.
CS/Q: Still no signs of O approaching. Have had a bunch of EWCM for like a week now but no temp rise or positive OPKs. My cycle is usually pretty stable at 28-30 days so who knows what's going on. Every so often I have a cycle thats like 40 days so maybe that's what my body has decided on this month.

Since a lot of us likely have fleeting thoughts of the gym in our minds after the long weekend..... I like to go to the gym on my lunch breaks. I hope to get a swim in today. But to be honest half the time I make it to the locker room and then decide to just sit in the sauna instead lol.

@jrm_14 I was looking forward to going back to work today too. There’s something about having a routine that makes me happy.
@kiwi2628 “I’m going to have to science the shit out of this!” –The Martian. I love that book.
@Stargazer1lily If it’s going to be cold it might as well rain, right?
@blackhottamales I need to schedule a dentist appointment too.
@josie12367 I love Christmas too! I think the only Christmas market I’ve been to was in Bordeaux France. It was amazing! I don’t think there are any around where we live. We went to a craft show this weekend… but that’s not the same thing. Lol
@matryoshkadoll I have a crazy idea that I want to start woodworking some day… I’m sure it’s a lot harder than it looks. But it seems like it would be very fun to try.
@kobrien827 My cramps have been extra bad the last few months too. I noticed it the month I started taking PNV… not sure if there’s a correlation or not?
@jsnakehole I totally get burnt out too. I don’t know how DH can do it lol.

@leafyarch FX you did O. Better early than late I say!
@jsnakehole Maybe shoot for EOD with a couple in a row when you turn an OPK? Be cautious though, Clomid dried up my CM...So I had to go hunting for it. Fx!
@elothair Do you chart CP? I find it and CM a good predictor of O. I get tons of EWCM too, but only a couple of days of my CP being high soft and open. Might be worth a try to help pin point O
@LJMoon6 Yes! The markets over here are just lovely! We're trying to hit one every weekend up till Christmas. Enjoy the peeing on all the things with your OPKs. Always a fun little science experiment! And, WELCOME!
@kiwi2628. Your GTKY name made me laugh! Also, does your RE continue to do u/s to check follicle size? Do they do the egg retrieval on a particular set day or just whenever eggs are mature enough?
@Stargazer1lily Sorry for the crazy weather! Do you ever do workout videos? It’s something you could do inside.
@blackhottamales I’ve missed you! You have one dot more than me on your chart. Haha I’ve been debating whether or not to temp and haven’t started so far, so....
@josie12367. Did you find any good gifts or decorations at the Christmas market? Also, thank you for the Clomid info the other day. I’m going to send you a PM in a bit.
@matryoshkadoll. For clean eating, are you following anything particular or just incorporating lots of fruits/veggies/lean meats etc? Also, we are CD buddies!
@lurvleybunchococonuts. Yes, stay with us! How have you been? How was your holiday?
@kobrien827. What workouts have you been doing? Also, I’m sorry for CD1 and the bagel spill! ((Hugs))
@leafyarch GL in TWW!
@jsnakehole get it girl!! . We will have to trade some ideas on spicing things up for the next week or so.
@elothair. Sorry for the confusing cycle! Were you able to finish your lantern project this weekend?
@LJMoon6. Welcome! I love swimming too, but I rarely get to go anymore since our local pool got rid of the morning hours. . The sauna also sounds nice!

@kobrien827. What is WERQ? I usually love to run. I do an occasional yoga class, but I wish I could go more often. I’ve been debating joining a gym for the classes—like you mentioned, it definitely helps with motivation.
@josie12367. Sounds like you made out big! I think we may need a picture of the pink banana earrings. I love all sorts of crafty things and wish I had more time to make them. Also, sent you a PM.
@dukestar5 Not even close! I got one big one together and about 2/3 of the other cuts done. I am expecting it to take me at least another weekend or two to get them all built and then one more weekend for painting/staining. Do you only take the 4 days of clomid for the whole cycle?
Also, it is only taken for 5 days—either CD3-7 or CD5-9. I’m not sure what the difference is or if it is more of the doctor’s preference. I’m on the lowest dose.

@kiwi2628 sorry for the slow growing follicles. FX they grow grow grow!
@dukestar5 another shower stalker!! . Yes, new doctor. Healthy groceries feel so refreshing after craptastic eating.
@josie12367 Thanks! I’m super jealous about the Christmas markets. We recently moved to a new city and I found out the other day that they are having a tree lighting ceremony. I’m sooo excited to go. There will be cider, cookies, carolers, and Santa! Lol
@dukestar5 I love swimming. My parents put me in competitive swimming when I was 5 (I have scoliosis and my doctors recommended it for back strengthening). I only just started swimming again in Sept. It’s almost been 10 years. My skin gets way too dry in the winter though.

@matryoshkadoll welcome!
@lurvleybunchococonuts yay--i'm happy to have you around but i hope you leave limbo at some point.
@Kobrien827 i'm sorry for CD1, working out always helps my cramps (at least it distracts me during...) I hope they are too bad for you tonight. FX for a better Tuesday!
@leafyarch GL over in TWW
@jsnakehole are you having any side effects from clomid?
@elothair oh sorry for the long FW--hopefully you O soon so you can catch a break
@LJMoon6 welcome--i'm sorry to hear you are sick. fx you get better quickly.
@dukestar5 It's been a long time! good for you for getting to the store. I really need to do that. I've been mean to ask--do you do much stretching? I'm so horrible at stretching but i think i need to find a good morning and night stretching routine. too many creeks and cracks happening as of late.
It's nice to see the boards perked up some today! (including myself for posting )
@kiwi2628 Hope your follies grow nice and big and strong!
@blackhottamales Hope your dentist appointment was okay today.
@josie12367 My LP last cycle was longer than I expected too (I was happy about it though since it was 11 days instead of 9 like my last several cycles). It still made me wonder though even though I was benched. For a fleeting second I thought "maybe I got KU 13 days before O!" lol Hope AF starts for you soon so you can start fresh with a new cycle! And the Christmas market sounds awesome! Crepes? Yummy! I second @dukestar5's request for a pic of the banana earrings!
@lurvleybunchococonuts Please float around between both threads! I'm pretty sure I can speak for everyone here in saying that we always love hearing from you. I'm sorry for the struggles with your cycle. That's gotta be so incredibly frustrating. FX for you that you O soon (or that AF comes so you can start over again).
@kobrien827 Ugh, sorry about your rough day! That's not a great way to start a Monday. I hope you have a better day tomorrow.
@jsnakehole lol at "going to town on my husband." Ten days in a row? Yikes! I think our longest streak a few cycles ago was 6 days and I thought I was going to die. Good luck!
@elothair FX you get your O soon!
@LJMoon6 Welcome! hope you feel better soon.
@dukestar5 Yay for healthy groceries! We just did the same today and it feels good to have some healthy food again (I say this as I snack on some chocolate...whoops).
@stargazer1lily @dukestar5 I like to do workout videos too! I used to run outside a lot but got kind of burned out on it. Plus, after training for a few marathons during winter, I'm a complete wuss when it comes to cold weather and haaaaate going outside to run in the cold! So now most of my workouts are from YouTube.
@blackhottamales I need to do more stretching too. Sometimes I try to do it while watching TV at night, but I need to make it a habit.
Month/Cycle: 6/6 (1 benched) I think I've been counting this wrong. I always get so confused. Oh well!
CD: 6
WAYDTGKU: About to start HIO now that AF is gone.
R/R: I had a yummy beer with dinner and I'm hoping to veg out and read my book tonight. I stayed up too late last night reading so I need to try to go to bed on time tonight! I got a sort of job offer today for a 6-month temporary rotation in another office in my same organization. I'd be working closely with some really senior managers and editors, so now I need to try to make a decision! I'm so bad at making decisions, so I'll have to think on it for a couple of days. The work doesn't sound super exciting (I'd be doing random spot checks of reports released throughout the whole organization), but it sounds like a great opportunity to be working so close to senior managers. Decisions, decisions.

@kobrien827 sorry about AF, hope the cramps lighten up

@kobrien827 oh my worst cd1, not the bagel
@dukestar5 I don't follow a particular diet, but yes mostly produce and meat. I get iron deficient easily so I've been trying to eat more meat and dark greens. I also don't strictly cut out carbs, but try not to buy them--if I have a craving it just has to be bad enough to want to bake myself some bread or cookies. I've also been trying to stop drinking coffee to deal with a cortisol issue
