TTC Check-In week of April 8

[autumn]

Howdy ladies! I have finally come out of my chocolate induced haze! :9 I am with y'all on the Dove chocolates. I love Dove chocolate... maybe as much as Godiva!

Melanie, we have some of those misfit chocolates too! I just don't know what could have happened.

Anne, keep us posted on your TTC efforts... not too many details... well, you know what i mean. ;-) }(

Morris, I am the same way when I get started with processed foods I tend to over indulge.

I am on my period and have had the worst cramps EVER! Today is day 3 and the cramps are easing up. I actually took some Ibuprofen the first 2 days. I was desperate (I avoid medication and am rarely compliant with prescriptions). As you know, I am trying not to obsess over TTC. We missed ovulation per my charting but that could't be avoided.

I need to just say no to Pepsi. I must commit but will wait until AF's visit is over otherwise I may end up committed.

TTYL!

Did I say I had just one piece of Birthday cake, or even how big it was? Believe me, I am no saint when it comes to junk food. I haven't gone a day without chocolate in probably 3 months....just one thing at a time though...baby steps. I did have TWO A&W Root Beers today. DH brought home an ice cold MD today for me (what a meanie). I said, "NO!!!!" "I do NOT drink MD!!!!". The nerve of some people one cannot even trust their spouses!! Suppose I"m more testy then I think I am?!

Autumn, what is Godiva? Is that a special chocolate brand? Maybe I shouldn't ask any more ?s!!!

Anyone beginning to spring clean?

Godiva is really expensive, really good chocolate, but really expensive. Did I also say really good? They come in these gold boxes.

I ate another dark chocolate today, but other than that it was a pretty good day. Oh wait, I had a mini size big hunk. I justified it by telling myself there was only 50 calories in that mini big hunk. 50 calories of pure sugar, but it was only 50 calories right?

Autumn, when AF is around, I'm like craving things like crazy. I'm either craving or sleeping or growling.

I am seriously thinking of spring cleaning tomorrow, but we'll see. I've had a very busy week so I really just want to veg.

Okay, MENTAL NOTE: Godiva is over-priced cheap-tasting wanna-be good chocolate. Do you think that will work? I won't look for it!!! Thanks for the warning!!!! I have enough fixes!! The weather is AWESOME today. I went to an annual garage sale (held at middle school) today, and vaccuumed/ArmorAlled my minivan. I'm looking forward to getting the kids in the stroller and going for a jog!!

TTYL

You guys are making me hungry with all the talk of Chocolate! Lindt chocolate is the best in MHO. For dark chocolate fixes, the dove pieces really do the trick if you can just eat 1!

Melanie - Way to go on the no MD! Woo hoo.

Autumn - Sorry AF has found you...

Well, DH and I are getting busy this week before we have to do all of our tests for the RE. He's so NOT thrilled at the idea of an SA test. It's still sitting on the table. x( I certainly don't blame him...

Well, it's a great day here in Iowa. Little chilly, but I can't complain b/c the sun is out.

How is everyone doing?

well, dh is now due back thursday night late. we leave for vacation friday morning early. nothing like cutting it close. our vacation starts at my little sister's wedding - i am to be a bridesmaid, hideous dress and all. it is sooo not flattering. oh well - nothing to do but wear it. after the wedding we will spend 5 days with my in laws. i won't be able to workout, which is frustrating to me. can you tell i am not thrilled about this vacation?

it was a gorgeous day here to and i managed a run with baby and dog. this is the last nice day for a while as we are due for a massive storm sun-tues. i ate pretty darn clean today - 2 mini york peppermint patties and 1 small square of dark chocolate. i think i need to try this clean eating challenge again next week as i think i only had one totally choclate free day. oh well, could be worse....i also cleaned the garage and my car, so i feel good about that.

autumn, hope your cramps are abating. i always found walking helped the most.
melanie, great work with the mt dews - i hope you got out with the stroller too.
anne, hope this week goes well and you feel good about the upcoming tests and such.
lisa, i hope you do relax after all the work stress you have been thru. the cleaning can wait.

take care everyone
