Hi everyone!
Cupcakestoy - wow good job on the weight loss! And I'm so sorry that your little bull died. Both those calves that I hand raised 3 years ago are also gone - one was sold to the abbatoir (not my decision) and the other one (my baby) died when the caretaker let it have fresh lucerne. I cried my eyes out. You are so lucky to live on a farm!!!!!
Ajarvis - great job with your 20km! I would die if I tried that right now lol!!
Hope everyone else is doing great
AFM - no real weight loss; I suspect it's because I still have some residual clomid in my system (I have been having clomid side effects and read that it can stay in your system for a few weeks after stopping it.) AND of course because I cheated with carbs! But I got back my thyroid test results after my DH threatened the dr's office
.... my levels are fine so I don't have to adjust my meds atm. Which means that I just need to work harder, diet better, start exercising TODAY and wait for the last clomid to leave my system... (until I start taking it again of course!). And I'm sure that good results will follow.
Today I haven't had any milk so far. The bulk cheese is cut into smaller blocks and in the freezer. DH will be happy to eat it by himself. I miss dairy already but I think it will be worth it! Just a small cup of full cream yogurt maybe every 2 days as per the Harvard fertility diet should be fine
.
We are going to a luxury resort/waterpark this weekend (Sun City's Lost City/ Valley of the Waves if anyone wants to google it!). Which means that I have to walk around in swimwear!! Not my decision; my sister wants to go before she gets too big with the twins. But I will just wear a swimming top that covers my stomach and enjoy the day and all the rides. Last night as I was fitting my swimwear and fretting over my cellulite and rolls of fat; one of my students (16 yo girl) contacted me to let me know she has to miss class today because she is vomiting blood and in agonizing pain. This poor girl has cancer and many other serious health issues. I was sitting there, looking at myself in the mirror, with the phone in my hand and was ashamed for feeling sorry for myself just because I'm fat and infertile; while this young girl is struggling just to LIVE and not be in chronic pain all day long. What a wake-up call!
May you all have a wonderful week and experience a lot of everyday blessings.
