@fidangul I’m sorry to hear it’s been a tough season for you. Sending you hugs and hope it gets less hectic. x

Hey! Try quoting yourself (like I did above) and then just delete about the bits you need! Quite simple that way. x

Thanks @bringbackthejoy ! Your story helps and is a great comfort. You've had three- ATM I can barely imagine I will ever have one! Lol. I'm taking a break from IVF because I found the hormones terrible. I'm focusing on fertility diet, acupuncture, meditation. We'll see how that goes. xx

Thanks @girlgroves and @CoachJen71 ! Every little bit of support means a lot. :-)

@Rachelmilloy and @fidangul thanks so much ladies! If there is any news I'll update you guys. xx

[/quote] So sorry to hear this. I know a few couples that have gone though this and it took them many tries [/quote] Thanks so much for your kind words @pkweier ! xx

Thanks @CoachJen71. We found out that our IVF didn't work. So we're pretty bummed out. Just trying to decide what to do next... xx

[quote/]Successes- still fighting the good fight. Rolled with the punches a little more easily than I could in the beginning.

@ijsantos2005 *high 5* but also quite jealous now! haha ;-)

Thanks @sarasimp! That's good advice. Yes maybe I'm just jumping into it too fast and should do a bit more strength/flexibility development in the area! I'll keep practicing but focus on my stands as well! x

Thanks guys! So helpful. xx

Hey sorry if this is a stupid question... but on your weekly check-ins what does the trend weight mean? How do you calculate that? Also, my family is down in Miami and I'm so glad as well that they weren't hit worse! Good to hear you are alright. x

Hey Lorrpb, yeah I have. I've been working with a guide from yoga journal which seemed pretty legit and clear but it's still a struggle. I'd usually go to my instructor but since I'm away, I thought some real world advice online would be the next best thing... I appreciate it's a pretty niche question. lol but any advice…

That's a great plan. Going to the gym for the first time was a bit intimidating for me but once I went a few times it becomes a great routine and felt right at home. So if it feels a bit weird to begin with I think that's normal. Are you planning on only doing the classes or swimming on your own as well?

Stuff You Should Know!!

haha. Thanks for the concern! The discussion has certainly gone a bit beyond my frame of reference but it's been interesting following along and learning new things. Thanks again everyone. x

Well based on this and on your photo, in which you look like you're a healthy weight.... I'm going to go ahead and say that your PT is being a drama queen. I don't know exactly what and how much you are eating which he considers "not clean" but at the end of the day it's your decision what you eat and how you train. Maybe…

[/quote] I eat Rice Krispie treats IN THE GYM while I'm working out. Not to toot my own horn but I'm pretty sure my effort was not wasted.[/quote] Toot away!! ;-)

Absolutely. haha. Going to do another one in a couple of months! ;)

I think it also depends on what your goals are and how "badly" you're actually eating. If you are morbidly obese and losing weight is a matter of health and quality of life... then yeah, eating poorly is wasting your time (literally your time on Earth)! But if you are in a healthy range and are talking about losing vanity…

Before my first mud run. the after pic = not so photogenic! hah.
