Losing Weight While TTC

[Ali33]

Ok y'all I am fixin to make this in just a bit. I am bad I know but I will only have a little piece. I have some blueberries I need to use and I have been teasing Justin with the threat of making it. I don't have marshmallows so I am omitting those. Doesn't it look good??

That does look mighty good!!

 

[Ali33]

My daughter is telling me I look really round today and I agree. Maybe I am bloated, maybe AF is ready to show? I feel super fat today lol

 

[todmommy4568]

Ooo I don't know if I could stop at one small piece of that haha. Hopefully it is AF...did you get your progesterone?

 

[krissie328]

Fx af is trying to show. I hate long cycles. Do you typically have them?

I am pretty sure I could eat all the chocolate today. I am trying so hard not to think about it. I am really looking forward to some grilled chicken with bbq sauce so focusing on that.

 

[Ali33]

The progesterone will be here today. I will have like a few regular cycles and then I get thrown a wonky one. It sucks!

I have to go get new homeowners insurance today and I don't want to leave my house!!! Anyone want to go for me? LoL

 

[todmommy4568]

lol I'm already sweatin up here in North Dakota not sure I could handle Texas

 

[Ali33]

Only 73 right now. Just the rain and mud I don't want to deal with lol.. I just had lunch and am watching The Pioneer Woman. I love her!!!

 

[todmommy4568]

No clue what the Pioneer Woman is lol my mother tells me I live under a rock so maybe that's why

Krissie BBQ chicken sounded so so good so I stole your idea haha we are having BBQ chicken and I am making that acorn squash finally haha.

So I think this meal replacement thing may just work for me. I was not hungry at all today, I replaced breakfast and lunch, I was actually very full and had no desire to snack. And now that supper time is here I find that I don't want to cheat since I basically went without food all day long and I am appreciating the meal more and wanting it to be a good one. I think overall it is just helping me evaluate my choices more if that makes sense.

 

[krissie328]

That's great it's working tod. What kind of meal replacement shakes are you using?

I'm making bbq chicken with corn on the cob. I need to figure something else out. I am leaning towards a spinach salad.

 

[todmommy4568]

Spinach salad sounds good.

I have Syntha-6, Labrada, and gnc lean body. This was my first time ordering meal replacement shakes so I wanted to try a couple different brands. Today was the first time I tried the Labrada and it was so filling that I could barely finish it and I felt overly full most or the morning. I still wasn't hungry at 2:15 but had my second shake anyways haha

 

[krissie328]

Interesting, I had no idea there were so many varieties. I have some adkins ones that I'm to scared to try.

 

[todmommy4568]

haha I have never had the atkins ones...I bought all mine as powders off of amazon.

I'm not hungry but I am craving something carby like a pot pie or ramen noodles....want to just go to sleep to avoid eating but I am waiting on someone to come pick something up from my house ugh...think I may see which one is more points

 

[todmommy4568]

Went with the pot pie. It was worth it and I still feel like I did really good today. Now to shoot for 5am again tomorrow. Someone suggested I put my alarm across the room but since I can't get out of bed before taking my temp that would be super annoying and probably wake Asher up, I think I am going to make it a point to turn on my lamp right away though. Can't sleep that well in the light haha

 

[Ali33]

Did you get up at 5am? I just got up now lol. I really need to start going to sleep earlier.

I started the progesterone cream yesterday. I really hope it brings on the witch. I am tired of this.

I had a turkey burger without the bun yesterday, with a salad and homemade avocado salsa. I actually ate pretty good all day. I did have a small piece of my blueberry pie though. It was yummy.

 

[todmommy4568]

Yay starting off the week on the right track!

I actually woke up late lol didn't wake up until 6:15 didn't get a chance to shower, had to bring my makeup to work with me and somehow clocked in on time I woke up at 5 to temp and was wide awake now sure how I fell back asleep

 

[Ali33]

I forgot about the whole temping thing. Do you start CD1?

 

[todmommy4568]

Normally I do. I skipped a couple days during AF but try to start cd1.

I forgot my victory for today. I didn't get on the scale this morning! My clothes fit good and my ring feels a little looser. All is going well I don't need a number every day of the week! I took my measurements last night lost an inch and a half between my boobs my chest and my hips. I measure right under my tatas for a chest measurement since I carry a lot of fat there. Aiming to not step on the scale until Monday

 

[Ali33]

That's great! I also didn't step on the scale and will do my best to stay off. I am going to redo my measurements on 6/1.

 

[krissie328]

Great job ladies!! I did well last week but I have weighed myself yesterday and today. I should probably avoid it again until Monday.
