newtottc - isn't that what all those fat stores are for?
I put on 1.5lbs but last night I had lost 2 Maybe more carbs or protein? Isn't the principle of the atkins diet to put your body into ketosis?

What I've eaten today:
Drank some juice... then promply threw it up when I bent over to put the dog's leash on cold juice puke sucks! (but was also kind of tasty )
Had a PB&J for breakfast (not the most nutritious but it has protein, carbs, and fruit, right? )
Got to work and ate a bag of Cheetos... and its only 9:45am.

Rofl Lisa.. yes I was relaxed about what she was saying at the time.. I was like hmmm whats the harm in burning up some of my own fat... but stupid me goggled it and some of the sites were talking about brain damage for the baby and learning disabilities I will now be trying a high protein diet... anything to help!

 

[lisaf]

ack... brain damage=not good
so what the heck are all these fat reserves for anyway then?!?

yay for the new banner!

stayed home sick from work today. terrible cold + morning sickness =

was a little worried that my m/s was starting to ease up (is that weird at 9 weeks?) but I'm feeling a bit nauseous now so I guess that's good? That's a pretty weird sentence... I feel better now that I feel nauseous.

Car is supposed to be fixed by the end of this weekend. Mum went round to his work and caught him off guard! He said he's been having to do lots of overtime in the evenings and it's been a bit more difficult as my car is a 16v when they're usually an 8v. I don't mind i just want to know what's going on! If its not sorted by the end of the weekend dads going to get a tow truck and take it home and do it himself! The only reason he hasn't was because we thought it would be quicker for this bloke to do it as dad works all week.

Wedding planning is going ace! Went and gave notice today and bought our rings and OH's suit. He looks so gorgeous in it, i almost cried in the changing rooms lol

Bathroom floor is totally rotten and bath has basically been sitting on paper thin flooring. Wall is knackered too so new tiles, plasterboard and flooring has to be put in and all the old stuff ripped out. Lucky the bath hasn't come through the floor!

On the pregnancy side of things i have headaches all the time and i had to go to bed at 8:30!!! last night i was so tired. So not like me! Can't wait for my scan date to come through.

Phew! That's a lot of updates. Sorry for my waffling! All new ladies added and banner url put on the front page.

Yay for the new banner. Thanks Lisa

 

[new_to_ttc]

Woohoo yay for the new banner away to add it now

Lisa as for fat reserves.. they are for nothing.. hence they store as fat!!! BUT when you diet properly they break down into the necessary compants for fat burning and muscle building.... my understanding after my google spree is when you dont eat enough foods the body uses (feeds on) itself for day to day living. So its not the 'safe' way of using the spare fat in the body. I assume its all way more complicated than that, but thats how I have digested it. Spoke to someone else today (medical background friend) and she has urged me to see my GP as the MW isnt checking the ketones again until 22nd October, she said thats too long to wait. She didnt want to worry me but said its really not good for me or especially baby. Ive relooked at my diet, my friend said it is good enough, could be better but Im getting everything I need, she cant see a reason for the levels I got. Going to try my best to increase proteins, but Im not a huge fsh and red meat person lol, will try to include more chicken, already eat a lot of salmon and hopefully can fix myself

Meow glad the car is getting sorted! Nice one on the wedding plans but sorry about the bathroom... there is always something to do in a house yeah!!! Nightmare!!

Good night ladies,

Just wanted to let you know that I had my surgery on Saturday. He tried to do it laparoscopic but couldn't so I have a c-section type scar. DH and I will be moving on to IVF, but probably not until next year. My mom and grandma are over here to keep me company. I feel a lot better today. Have a happy and healthy nine months!!

OK Crissie and New_to_ttc you are barely eating anything.. or maybe i am eating a house on a daily basis.

Pre pregnancy: i have weird eating habits normally, I drink iced nonfat vanilla lattes all day, i am NEVER hungry in day time till at least 4 or 5 pm where i will eat a yogurt and blueberries, then since i go out for dinner almost every night and i don't eat much in day i eat whatever i please at dinner + few glasses of wine w/dinner.

Now that i am pregnant entirely new ball park. i have only gained 2 lb but i am eating complete shit.

Pregnant: start off with a raisin english muffin with yogurt, lunch sandwich or whatever i am craving, dinner who knows anything that sounds good.. today i ate eggs with bacon and 12 grain toast, then pizza for lunch and i am cooking fajitas for dinner... my husband thinks i am nuts and is like "you better keep the weight in order and keep doing yoga and pilates because you dont want to end up a balloon or not be able to get your body back after you have the baby." All I want are milkshakes or cinnamon rolls and he is not letting me do so. He has a point that i have worked very hard for my body now and i would probably get depressed if i couldn't get back to size afterwards but, telling a pregnant hormonal woman not eat something cause she shouldn't gain too much wait or look puffy is not setting well with me.

I think i have become one of those women who keeps herself in check all the time and has for awhile and is using pregnancy as an excuse to eat whatever and be lazy... I didn't go to yoga or pilates today instead i laid in bed and went grocery shopping then slept a few hours... this version of me is not cute.

wow that was a ramble. sorry

ttcfurrever- thinking of you

 

[luckyme225]

OK ladies so I noticed my breast soreness went away today. Anyone else? Leave it to me to be a worry wart lol.

 

[lisaf]

hopeful... those are normal worries, but I understand the hormonal urge to eat eat eat (and always junk too... occasionally I'm craving veggies, but most of the time a celery stick is NOT going to stop my hunger monster!)
You should be a little more lax with yourself during the first trimester... the fatigue is normal... only you can say if you have the energy to go do your usual workout routine, lol... some people find it gives them energy... others can barely face walking up one flight of stairs.

 

[lisaf]

lucky - I just checked... yesterday I had no soreness at all.. would have worried me but I'm feeling safer and safer each day/week. Just checked again.. and OW!!! They're sore again, lol!

 

[hopefulmama]

My soreness has gone down a bit as well..

I'm due May 17th with my 5th!
