The Perfect Weekend

Today, so far seems like an ok day, although, I am really feeling the recent time change. At least I don’t have to get up too early in the morning. Still I can’t help but feel completely exhausted.

This weekend was really good. On Friday I went to the nutritionist and we talked about the new herbs I was thinking about taking and everything got approved for that so I went over to the health food store and picked them up. So I officially started taking Evening Primrose Oil and Vitex Chasteberry on Friday night. I decided that they would be a great place to start since they will benefit my overall hormone production and minimize my PMS. It’s nice to be experimenting a little more with everything.

Saturday, I went to the gym and was a powerhouse. I biked 11 miles and pushed myself on the treadmill for 3 miles. It was a really nice feeling to get some exercise in. So far this month I have been doing a great job with exercising. Last week I went to the gym on Saturday & Monday. This week I am hoping to go more than that but my work week sometimes can get a little full and I have to work overtime. (This Wednesday I am going to have to work a little overtime at a meeting which is not scheduled to end until 9 pm. So I won’t be going to the gym that day). Right now my goal is to go to the gym on Saturdays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. If I can’t go on that day because something conflicts then I am going to try to make up the workout on the next day.

It’s nice to be trying to get myself in better shape. I just started to think about how badly I have wanted to conceive and how much I have tried over the past year. Now that my body is actually ovulating I need to step up to the plate and make it as healthy as I possibly can in order to achieve conception. I am really pushing now I want this to happen and I know it is up to me to make it happen.

Back to my weekend, then on Sunday I enjoyed a nice relaxing time with Audre. We just hung out at my house and watched an SMG movie & Project Runway. It was good to recuperate from Saturday’s all out work out at the gym and hang out with a friend. I actually was a little bad, we made brownies and chow-ed down. I think I deserved a little R&R after all the chaos from this past work week.

Stan helped me out a lot. While I was relaxing and hanging out with my friends he cleaned the house and did the laundry (which was a huge mountain). It was nice to have that time to relax but then still have the chores get done. I love him!

Its exciting too because Stanley Steamer will be coming this week and I will be able to enjoy a super clean house from top to bottom.
