November 2012

It's been 10 months since I posted last. Geez! The time has flown by. I have been married for 6 and a half years now. I cannot believe that. Every time our anniversary comes, it's like "What? Again?!" Time really is going way too fast. I just turned 27 a few months ago. Hubby turns 29 next month. We are getting old..

So we have been hoping to get pregnant. No such luck. I have tried charting and it didn't help. I have gone to a radiologist and did pelvic ultrasounds. Next up is a fertility specialist. We have put visiting the specialist on hold for awhile. We have looked into Clomid and decided that is what we wanted to try now. (Clomid helps with getting pregnant by making your cycle regular and making ovulation occur.)

I am doing my first cycle on Clomid. Today is my last day of medication. It is the grossest tasting thing to take so let's hope it works :) We will try this for a few months and see what happens. If it doesn't work, we will then go to the fertility specialist and find out what's next.

Motivated

Today is day 1 towards my weight loss goal.

To get to my goal, I am going to:
- Track my calories, exercise, and weight/measurements.
- Stay around 1300 calories a day.
- Work out for 1 hour, 3 times a week.
- Do the Ab Circle Pro machine 3 times a day (total 15 mins).

By following this, I can lose about 2 lbs/per week. This would get me to my goal weight at the end of April. So in a little under 3 months, I can be at my goal. Then I will work on maintaining my weight so weight gain won't happen again.

I will be positive! I won't let things distract me from what I want! I can do this :)

2012 Resolutions

New year. It has gone by so fast. 2011 was good, not great. I want to make 2012 even better!

Resolutions for 2012 are:

1. Get to my goal weight. In 2011, I lost weight and gained a few lbs back. I kept off 20 lbs. I want to lose about 20/25 more lbs. My goal for this is to lose it by the end of April.
2. Go see the fertility specialist.
3. Make a plan for meals and cook more.
4. Drink more water.
5. Get pregnant with baby Baxter.
