Losing Weight While TTC

[krissie328]

Cd 1 here..

I am taking black cohosh (days 1-12), spearmint, bee propolis (actually it's a variety of bee products in one capsule), vitamin d and myo-inositol.

I will also be continuing metformin and femara this cycle. We were going to take a break but after having no side effects from the femara decided to proceed with it again.

Oh wow... Lots of stuff!

I am working on my weight and eating healthier this month. Hopefully he won't be so damn tired.

 

[Ali33]

Why do the weekends have to go so quickly?? With that said I have so much to do this week. I really want to decorate for fall.

 

[krissie328]

I know! This weekend really flew by for me.

My diet has been horrible.. I really do need to get back on track.

 

[krissie328]

Weigh in today and up 0.4 lbs. Not to bad considering I've cheated all week and af is here. I'm gonna work on being better this week. I've got a meal plan for today so that should help.

 

[Ali33]

Not bad at all! I am down .4 lbs. I ate pretty good but did make nachos yesterday while watching football. I am making light turkey corn chowder for supper.

 

[krissie328]

I made a corn chowder the other day. Oh my it was so good. I wanted to add chicken but I didn't have any.

I had bacon and eggs for breakfast (dh cooked!), for lunch I have broccoli and cheddar soup and for dinner I am thinking salmon and more soup. Or maybe green beans depending on how I am feeling when I get home. It is super cold and windy today so just looking for warm and comforting. Plus I am working on eating warm foods this cycle. I am just throwing it all out there and hoping it works.

Tomorrow I will probably have left over salmon for lunch and then for dinner I was going to pick up a rotisserie chicken and some mixed veggies from Costco.

So I have two days planned. Gonna have to work out the rest but for now I am happy with that. I am feeling very crampy today and just not interested in doing anything. I want to go home but I have 3 meetings this afternoon so can't do that.

 

[Ali33]

You have made some good choices! Keep it up. I have no doubt you can do it. I figure if we eat good 80% of the time we are making progress.

I wish it was cold here. We are still in the 80s but should change by the weekend. I haven't had my ac on for a couple days which is great.

I have been productive with cleaning today. So excited to get my new bed set on and curtains up!

 

[krissie328]

Today's high is 54 and windy!

I have made good choices today so hoping to keep it up.

I hope your new bed is comfy! I love redecorating.

 

[Ali33]

I just found out today that Hobby Lobby has home decor. I have never been! Going there this week for some fall decorations.

 

[krissie328]

Oh I love hobby lobby. I'm so glad the closest one is 2 hours away!

 

[Ali33]

The closest one to me is about 40 mins away! Everything is at least 40 mins away though lol

Okay I am going to try and recap as best I can haha.

What both of you had to say to my last rant was truly so helpful. Thank you so much!

I think I'm on the same diet boat as everyone else haha most days a great but there are still bad days, for me lately the bad days have been extreme. My weight is going down though. If I don't turn things around quick this week could be really bad though. We are going to a for King and country concert tomorrow (super excited!) so I will probably not eat great tomorrow since we will be out of town and eating out. I was going to get into the ridiculous story of how my internship is going but that will have to wait because I have to take Asher to school haha.

I will read through what I missed later but from what I have seen it looks like you guys are on the right track! Proud of you both!!!

 

[krissie328]

HI Shan! I replied go your other post but I'm so happy to see you back. I hope things improve soon for you.

We went to a for King and country concert a few years back. Ours are always around the 4th of July so super fun.

 

[Ali33]

Hey girls!!! How are y'all doing?? I am doing ok. Justin decided he isn't ready to get married yet so that has been a bit of a blow but I am dealing with it well. He had a bad divorce years ago so I am just trying to be supportive and all that.

My weight is going down. I won my dietbet and lost 13 lbs so I am loving that. Basically keeping my eating at 80/20 with 80 being clean. Moving around a lot more than I used to as well.

Just finished AF. Going to see if we can't get some BDing in at the right time this month lol.

 

[krissie328]

Aww Ali I'm sorry Justin decided he didn't want to get married yet. But I'm glad you're feeling okay about it.

Great job on your weightloss. Your ticker went out a while back so I haven't been able to stalk it.

Things are okay here. I'm so far off the wagon but I'm hoping to get back tomorrow. I've made a beef stew for lunch and probably dinner so that should help.

 

[Ali33]

It is so easy to fall off. I yoyo so bad sometimes. Really trying to stick with it now. I hate losing weight only to gain it right back and have to lose it again. I will be stuck trying to lose the same 5 lbs for months. I hate it.

 

[krissie328]

Yea, I do that so often. I bounce around the same 8 lbs or so. I guess its better than gaining but on the other hand I would like to just lose it for good. I wish I could find some inner motivation.

 

[todmommy4568]

I'm sorry to hear that Ali I'm glad he has a good reason though I'm sure that makes it a tiny bit easier. Great job on your DietBet! I have been wanting to try that but haven't had the courage haha I feel like it I made a $10 bet I wouldn't take it seriously but I am too scared to bet more

Krissie I totally get playing with the same weight ugh so frustrating!

I quit weighing so I'm not sure where I stand but I have been eating like crazy. I was talking to my mom last night about how I was pretty sure I have diabetes because I have been a bottomless pit and sick for a week, she told me to take a pregnancy test and I said nope I think I'll just wait for my period and make a doc appt to check this diabetes theory Of course after the bug was planted I couldn't help myself. Looks like I got more than just a good show the night of the for King and country concert!

Massive congrats again Shan!! Just so happy for you.
