First off, wishing Melanie a safe move and we will be looking forward to your posts once you get settled in. Good luck and our thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family!

Okay, I am a little beat so I'm going to keep this post short, but just wanted to start the new thread. I did horrible this weekend. I ate fried chicken last night. Can't remember the last time I ate fried chicken. I did eat a vegetarian chili w/ brown rice, but the fried chicken didn't help. I also gobbled some m&ms today. Other than, that it's been okay, but I really need to get a hold of this!

I did however manage to get 5 workouts in last week. I have to say that my chests and tris are finally feeling normal today. That GS CT really kicked my butt.

I spent today labeling all of my kids' school supplies and that took time. I am off to do my workout now. I'm going to do that Gabrielle Reese workout and pilates. I love the way pilates is slimming down my middle! Now if I can only get a hold of the eating....I'm up for another challenge this week. Anybody else in?

Oh and I broke down and tested this morning and got a BFN (big, fat negative), but my temp is still up so I'll give it another couple days and see what happens.

hi lisa, thanks for starting us off. sorry for the negative test. it will happen.

melanie, hope your move goes smoothly, and we cannot wait to have you back.

hi everyone - how are things?

my weekend was not so great either, lisa. had some processed sandwich wrap at a conference i went to yesterday as well as a brownie. saturday i had an ice cream sandwich. lets give this week a shot too. i did body max 2 scrambled eggs this am. it was so humid in my basement, i was really working! that is a fun one, i think.

take care, and lets all have a clean monday;)
 
Where is everyone....including myself?!!? Anyway, I've been eating blah...not horrible, but I can't seem to stop myself from eating chocolate or something sweet even if it's a little. And sometimes a little turns into more than I should have if you know what I mean.

Well, my back is acting up again and I started spotting today so AF is on her way. I'm going to work out tonight though. I feel overwhelemed and need to release it somehow. My back is feeling horrible so I might have to take it easy.

Morris - How are things going with you?

Hi Melanie, Anne, Autumn, and Jen!

Hi Ladies,
Nothing much new here...

I have not worked out since last weekx( . I have been taking daily naps (it's very hot here, so maybe that's why). I wake up early with my son, and when he takes his nap, I crash. I never mean to, I just lay on the couch and then the next thing I know, it's 2 hours later:eek: . I need serious motivation!

My eating has not been that bad, though. That's a good thing considering all the naps I've been taking. Every day, I think "I am not going to take a nap, and then I do." I guess there are worse things.

I don't get AF for another week and a half or so, so we'll see. My DH and I have certainly been trying, though:7 .So, if I do not get pregnant, it's certainly not from lack of that!

This weekend, my DH and I are having a party (part of it is my Silpada jewelry open house-I sell that on the side, and it's also our regular summer party). So, I will do my best not to eat like crap.

Well, I am off to eat breakfast.

-Jen
p.s. These naps have seriously got to come to an end. I go back to school (I'm a teacher) in just a few weeks, and I don't think it will be acceptable for me to enjoy a siesta every day after lunch;) .
 
i think those naps sound great jen!! but i know what you mean when you have to adjuszt to a new routine. could it be you are having 1st trimester fatugue??? how old is ds?

hi lisa - i am sorry your back is acting up. that must be so frustratin g when you need to blow off steam. could you comfortably go for a bike ride?

my eating is okay. not perfect, but not too bad. i'd say i am 90% clean the last 2 days. yesterday was a marathon day for me as i ran, did chest and tris AND mowed our lawn. i am looking forward to dh getting home soon. monday i think?!?!

hi lisa, hi autumn, hi anne
 
Lisa,
You're not the only one. I've been eating chocolate and goodies like they're going out of style. I was doing so well eating clean and then I just blew it. I need to get rid of the 1 cup of coffee in the morning too. I've been exercising like crazy and it does me no good if I eat like crap!

Sorry about your BFN, it will happen for you soon. You just need to give it some time!

Back on the wagon starting Friday. Tomorrow will be my last cup of coffee.

Time for DH and I to get 'busy' this week too! ;) Hoping to catch that good egg this time around. I got a room painted this last weekend, so that was a nice accomplishment.

How is everyone doing today?

Anne
 
Anne - Have fun bding! I'm slowly cutting down on the sweets. I'm like you, I workout a lot lately, but eat junk also so it doesn't really help!

Morris - How's things going with you? Did AF come for you yet?

Jen - I was thinking the same as Morris, maybe all those naps are because you're pregnant!!

Tomorrow is ds' birthday so I have to go and find something to get for him today. I can't wait until this week is over. It has been a hectic week. We have three get togethers this weekend which 2 out of the 3 is for my ds' birthday that I have to more or less organize. Yikes! No workout yesterday, but I will be doing GS BSB today and pilates. AF is still not here, but my temp soared down so it's a matter of time.

Hello Ladies! We made it! We're in our new home. My computer is set up on a little card table in the corner of a room for now. I got DSL hooked up this morning, I think I did pretty good...THREE full days without a computer!!!

I don't have all my workout stuff unpacked yet & I haven't adventured out far enough to find a running path yet. Right outside our driveway is a gravel road that I can't imagine would be very good to run with pushing a stroller. I feel like I"m burning mega calories just unpacking and moving stuff for now. ;)

THANK YOU for all your prayers. I'll check back in a little bit!!! I can't wait to read in-depth what's going on. PS AF came the night of the closing of our new home (I had to do a mad rush to find the plugs). Everyone else get theres? Or do we have some possible pg's out there?!?!?

it is funny, but all of you are wishing af wouldn't come, and i just want af to come!! still no signs yet. i called my dr today. i want to see if she wants to try a progesterone course on me or just send me back to the endocrinologist (who previously diagnosed hypothalamic amennorhea). i was with a friend and her 18monthe old yesterday, and she told me she was pregnant, due in january. i was so thrilled for her as i know she had a hard time getting pg the first time. i am also a bit envious. i have lots of mixed feelings about taking hormones again. what if i have a litter of kids? what if something goes wrong? we were so fortunate to have our little one, do i dare try it again? i am so mixed up.

melanie, i am so glad you are getting settled. moving is a big calorie burn.

lisa, sorry for the negative. you have such a great attitude.

anne, speaking of good attitudes.... i hope this cycle lets you catcha good egg.

jen, have fun;) hope this is a good cycle for you.

i am working out lots but missing my outdoor runs. treadmills just are not the same. eating is fairly clean. i think i am just kind of down about not cycling still so i am just not as interested in junk. i also am feeling kind of stressed - working a bit much and tring to hold down things at home. sorry, this board isn't for cmplainers! i will sign off and readjust my attitude:)
 
Less than 0.5mi to main highway for my run. Maybe I'll try tonight? I did Turbo Jam in my new workout room last night. FUN FUN FUN!!!

Talk to you soon!

Hello ladies! Today is ds' birthday and it's just been a crazy hectic week. I just wanted to drop in and say hello to everyone.

Melanie - Your new house sounds like so much fun!

Morris - Is your chances of multiples higher when on the hormones? Are you normally irregular?

Jen - So any symptoms?

I am so tired from running around, but I have a get together to go to tonight. I'm going to shoot to do B&G tonight when I get home. I did GS BSB last night.

BBL!

Hi Girls,
My DH and I were up late last night getting ready for a party we are having today. It is my Silpada Open House plus a regular backyard get together. So, send good vibes my way so lots of people buy/order lots of jewelry:7 . I was up early with my 2 year old son, but it's my DH turn to watch his this morning so I can get a workout in. I would love to run, but it is beastly hot, so I will do a TJ (I've been in the mood to do one lately-they are good for a change).

I have been SO good with the naps-I think just one last week. I just don't want to get my hopes up with symptoms because every month, since I've been off BC (about 4 or so months), my boobs have been so tender about 1 week or more before AF comes. I got my hopes up a few times, but then AF came, so I was bummed. It's happening again, and AF will not be here for another week, so it's too early to use an EPT (I guess I won't be taste testing my frozen fresh strawberry daquiris (I know that is spelled wrong, but I don't feel like fixing it:) ). As far as other symptoms, I don't really have any. Some mornings my stomach feels yucky, but sometimes that happens. So, I will know at the end of next week. If it doesn't happen, we'll just try again:* .

Morris-I bet you can't wait for DH to get home! Just two more days, right?

Anne-I got in to drinking coffee about a year ago, but lately I have been getting stomach cramps (DH had bought a stronger blend), and it just turned me right off of it. So, I haven't had a cup in about 2 weeks. And, I really don't miss is at all. Good luck with that!

Lisa-I hope all your get togethers go well. Isn't it strange how some days, there is nothing to do, and then everything will fall on one day?

Melanie-Yeah, you are in your new house! Unpacking does burn a ton of calories. I am in the mood for a TJ session today, so after this I will do one. Which one is your favorite?

Have a wonderful weekend! Remember, send good "sales vibes" my way for the open house:) .

-Jen
 
hi everyone

bad news is dh is stuck. should i have expected anything less??? so, hopefully by next weekend? maybe? we are supposed to go on vacation on the 18th. we'll see if he is home by then.

melanie, isn't it fun finding a new running route? glad you have an exercise room too! when do you start work?

jen, i hope this cycle is it for you. try to stay positive, and have a nice virgin daquari:)

anne, how are things for you?

lisa, did you do b and g last night? i would totally fade if i tried to do that at night.

i did lic cardio only this am and it was pretty fun. i am really looking forward to the new kickboxing workout. i did amy's kbx this week and it made me sore for a day after! today i am going to try to not have any junk. i know it is the weekend, but i can wallow pretty well when i get disappointing news, so hopefully a clean diet will help with that. wish me luck:p

have a good weekend everyone
 
Jen - Sending good vibes your way for good sales and a baby!!

Morris - Sorry DH is stuck again. Seems like military life is always unpredictable huh? Where are you guys going for vacation? I just booked our flight to California for November and we're heading to Phoenix for a couple days for a family wedding during that time.

I did not do B&G because I was so poooped. I was running around all day long and couldn't pull myself together. So today will be my B&G day. Four workouts for the week is not bad given I've been so stretched with school starting for the kids and everything.

Hope you guys have a great Saturday!
