I went to the gym and I am feeling quite proud of myself. This past weekend I banged out 3 miles and 10 flights of stairs. Today I brought all my workout clothes with me and I am planning on going straight to the gym when I get off of work. I am thinking that here it is a new month and I think it is time to start thinking ahead. I need to prepare myself for what is coming up around the corner which is the next cycle. I can't say for sure yet is our February attempt has worked or not but I need to not concentrate on whether I am now but instead I need to assume that I am not and focus on getting myself ready for next time. I am just proud because some of the ideas I have focused on for February really have carried over into my life and I can see them being a positive step toward my ultimate goal of being a happy healthy mom with a happy healthy baby.
I made so many decisions this past month that were just wrong and are really bad for someone who is trying to concieve. With everything I have working against me I have to be really strong on everything. I am once again starting on a better food plan but I am giving myself a little more room than last time since I was not able to function under those constraints I set up for myself. Actually I have realized that losing weight is all about finding things that work in your real life and when something fails you just let it go and move on to the next thing. Maybe you weren't ready for that at this stage in your plan or maybe it wasn't right for you. I am not going to look at February like I failed because I didn't; I came up with something great that has really kept me satisfied while I am at work. Sometimes I may eat more calories then others but that is ok.
Each month I like to have a focus, new things I can try out. Whatever works sticks with me and whatever doesn't I just let go. Its getting exciting though because I am so close I have gone through 4 normal consecutive cycles which means I have tried for something like 5 ovulatory cycles. This next month I want to make a big deal out of because it will be my 6th cycle of actually trying. I think that is really important because we are getting up there in the conception stats.
On my other blog "mamma's maybe baby" I talk about something I have been researching today called the "Procreation Vacation." I think it would be great for Stan & I to enjoy one of these romatic getaways and maybe see what can happen. I have also decided to start drinking some chasteberry tea which will help beef up those female hormones of mine. I want to make this month all about trying out the "old wives tales."
If I decide to do the retreat it won't be until the end of the month so I have a whole month to really go to town on all of this stuff...I love it I love it I love it!
