Losing Weight While TTC

[Ali33]

Why so down? That isn't good.

You killed it on the steps though!!!

Dh was being a jerk about everything, yelling at ds constantly, ect. So we packed up and came home. I don't know why I thought we could go camping. I put so much effort into planning it and it was all for nothing. I didn't even get a picture of ds I can use for his 2 year pictures. Overall just a crap day.

I made 22k steps. By far my highest.

 

[Ali33]

I'm sorry Sounds like maybe that is a normal thing for him? I hate when I plan a big day and it gets ruined. Especially when it should have been a great day! I am sorry hun

Great job with the steps though. I am getting ready to go to Dallas and hope I will have a lot of steps in today too. We are going to the aquarium and a flight museum so lots of walking!

I hope today is a better day for you!

 

[krissie328]

That sounds like a lot of fun!

Unfortunately it is rather normal, well lately anyways.

I have no idea what my plans for today are going to be. I just hope it ends up being a nice day.

 

[krissie328]

Haha, because of all my steps average daily steps is over 11k for the last week.

 

[Ali33]

I hope it is a nicer day for you too. We are on our way to Dallas now. It is about a 2 hour drive. About halfway there now. Didn't leave as early as we wanted to but that's ok.

That's awesome on the steps. I honestly don't think I have ever even hit 10k. Bad I know.. I am a work in progress lol..

Last week for the 21 day challenge. I am really going to push myself this week!

 

[Ali33]

Hey dolls! How did your day go?? We had a good time. The aquarium was fun but definitely not worth what they charge to get in.

So we are implementing 1 meatless meal a week. I need ideas. Can y'all help me? So far for supper I have beans, fried taters and cornbread. I need breakfast and lunch ideas!!

 

[krissie328]

I'm glad you had a good day. Mine was better. And I got to see ds share a toy and interact with another boy. It was great to see!

My steps were low only about 6k. But that's okat, my feet were hurting.

 

[krissie328]

Meatless ideas... but still kinda low carb?

 

[Ali33]

AF came!!!!! My temp took a huge dip today! I saw it dipped and didn't use the progesterone cream. Was hoping it would!!!

 

[krissie328]

Yay! Fabulous news! Are you planning to do anything different this cycle?

 

[Ali33]

I don't know, I am torn. Do I lose more weight before TTC or try now? I am so conflicted on that..

 

[krissie328]

Yea, that's so hard! I am sitting in the same boat. Part of me wants to just ntnp while losing weight but part of me just wants to jump right in and do it.

 

[Ali33]

It's a tough one. Especially because of my age. I am thinking, well it took me a year with Aidan. Maybe I should try now. But I have also lost weight since then so what if it happens right away? Part of me thinks I should go for it. If so I will be using OPKs, giving Pre Seed a try, and taking the supplements I have been taking. I might throw the dong quai back in there for the 1st half until ovulation. Decisions decisions!

 

[Ali33]

ok so I took a pic this morning and compared it to a pic at my starting weight. I must say, I am pretty proud of myself!!!

 

[krissie328]

Quite an improvement, you should be proud!

 

[Ali33]

Thanks

Sorry I have been missing! I am starting my clomid tonight, I am super excited with some scared added in My ultrasound is on my birthday, in 9 days! I am so excited that I won't have to wait until around cd20 to ovulate but I am worried in general especially since it is on my birthday. If we have multiple good eggs that would be a wonderful birthday present! But if we get too many eggs my OB won't let us try and that would be a pretty sh*tty birthday. Hoping for the best right now!

I weighed myself this morning and I haven't lost any weight. I haven't gained any! but still no loss. That was actually super motivating for me though, I have been half assing it and seeing the weight stand still really hit a nerve for me and made me want to give it my all. DS picked our route for our walk tonight and it ended up being a 2.5 mile walk which was great! He got tired on the way back and just stopped at one point and yelled "I want a muffin!!" The struggle is real, even at 5! I really worked my plan today and felt more than full all day and stayed under my points so I am feeling super proud!!! All is well!

Krissie I'm sorry your weekend didn't go as planned I'm excited that you are thinking about trying this month!!!

Ali congrats!! Those pictures are great and I am so happy AF finally showed up for you! I say go for it as far as TTC. With being overweight we can still "diet" while we are pregnant too, that part motivates me. I know that I do not need to gain any weight during pregnancy and I will have a goal of gaining no more than 10 pounds. I wanna be that girl that 5 days postpartum they weigh less than their starting pregnancy weight

Just caught up on your youtube videos!! I forgot about your meatless meals. I usually have over easy eggs on toast or an egg and cheese sandwich for breakfast if I don't work. You could also do pancakes or waffles if you can find a good recipe that would work for you. For lunch you could do some sort of soup, I would have to think harder about the lunch haha.

 

[Ali33]

I was wondering where you were! I knew you were walking so I figured you were ok lol..

I snuck a peek at the scale and being that I was up a few lbs before I am down 8 lbs so far. I could have been a bit more strict but I am happy with the number. I am pushing harder this week so I am excited to weigh in next Monday.

I am thinking about hiring a personal trainer. He is on FB, Ryan Engel Fitness. He would be a virtual trainer but he would give me a nutrition and exercise plan. There will be accountability. The program I want to do is his 12 week program. I will see what he recommends though.

I agree I think maybe I should start trying now instead of waiting. I can always maintain a healthy lifestyle while pregnant. I also get pretty wicked morning sickness so I will lose even more! Haha!

I am excited for you trying clomid! Don't be nervous. Make that womb as happy as possible for those little eggies!!! I am praying for a great outcome!

I am wondering if I should do the progesterone cream after ovulation (if I ovulate) or just wait to see what happens and if I have a regular cycle?
