Will message ;)

Well I am sure you can see how well I am doing since I barely on here :( I am logging food but I gained 4lb with binge eating since getting the news. This week is my first full week back working out and dieting again and some is coming off but I am still way up. I am trying to get my head in the game but I am so worked up…

Yeah we found out all my eggs are abnormal so we basically flushed $17k down the toilet. Needless to say I binged like there was no tomorrow over the weekend. We are going to give it one more shot since my parents offered to pay one more round so I am trying to put the pieces back together. My weight was already too high…

Hey sorry for the absence the egg retrieval knocked me off my *kitten*!! I was supposed to be able to go back to work the next day but I ended up having to take 3 days off and only 5 days later did I start feeling better! Retrieval went well. We got 10 eggs and 6 of them made it to the testing phase (which is good). They…

Haha @furious - yeah we both did Lindsay Brin's programs and this has become our social chat even though we have moved on to other programs. Josie is all better but I am sorry to hear about Tarren. I hope he is feeling better!! I am doing ok it has been 12 days of no workout and massive bloating but the end is near!…

Hope the vertigo is better for you today. I am so impressed with you entering a deadlift competition. You are boss! As for Josie's eye issues, no one on my side has a problem but Mike's father had eye issues fairly young. So if there is an issue there it probably came from there. Her appointment was today but we had to…

haha sorry I just found it too!! For me I had to log in on the actual discussions page to get "my discussions" to pop up. Even though I was already logged in. So maybe that will help. I really haven't had time to look again for the entries but I will this week. I am a rockstar over the week but you know how it goes with…

Ahhhh thank you!! Then I know it has to have been 2013 (which is what I thought). Ok I will have to dig all that out then! Funny how you say about living off of protein bars since I am sort of doing that now. I am subbing in a lot more bars and shakes than I have in the past. What can I say? It is quick and easy. Great job…

The weather is all over the place! Some days it is 30 (like today) other days it is in the 70s. Welcome to Texas, if you don't like the weather just give it a minute :smile: I will most likely be hitting the elliptical if I am feeling up to it. If not I will just try to get as much movement as possible. I really have no…

Hi!! I am back! For real I am back. Hitting the diet and workouts as hard as possible. I am up to 145 which is 15lb over my happy weight and boy am I feeling it! I am about to start IVF so I have 2-3 weeks to get off as much as I can before I am on the IVF meds and can't really work out (I think I am allowed to walk and…

OMG I am still in a freak out mode about Christmas shopping. Almost done except for my in laws. Uggh! They are the worst right? I have been working out regularly but the eating is out of control. Damn all the sweets and parties! I am scared to get on the scale tomorrow!

No worries. I was having my own drama to deal with. We had another miscarriage (that is 4) over the weekend after Thanksgiving but we finally got a diagnosis. My losses are from a chromosomal issue that I am a carrier of. So we are moving forward with prepping for IVF with genetic testing (to ensure the embryos are…

I just did as well! I had to log in like 3x to get "my discussions" to show up! Oh no he has to work on Christmas! That sucks :( I hear you on weight being up. I am sure mine is even higher than it has been from my eating (and drinking) over the weekend but I am getting on the scale tomorrow morning to try to put myself in…

Now I am back ;) haha. I was all in tailspin getting ready for the party (my little pony theme) and getting figures for the IVF (it is now up to more like $20k, uggh). I am feeling better but still not normal which sucks. I still just feel under the weather. I tell you these kids bring home the worst plagues. I wanted to…

Sorry I have been MIA. I have been sick as a dog and missed 2 days of work so far. I am also attempting to get ready for Josie's party this weekend while being sick and it sucks. In the mist of all this we got an answer as to why I was having the miscarriages. I have abnormal chromosomes that I am passing down. We have…

Haha! The strong lifts will be there when you are ready to come back :D My weekend was good. Eating was total crap Sat night but good the rest of the time (still too much junk in the house). I have eased up big time on the workouts due to my TTC situation. I am trying to just be consistent with moderate resistance and…

Ohhh girl!!!! I know how you feel. I was one a tirade over the weekend! I did really well. Saw some weight come off. Was thinking I was past the "hump", you know when you are working hard for weeks and finally are starting to see the results....then came Halloween. I was strong on actual Halloween. 2 small slices of pizza…

haha I know what you mean about the food alerts. I am always getting yelled at for sodium. haha. There must be a weather front coming in since we are the same way. It has been warm all week and it is supposed to we really cold tonight but I think it isn't supposed to kick in until after we are done trick or treating. That…

Ahhh!! I was just logging my food on the MFP website and this little pop up comes up saying you posted on this forum. haha. So here I am promptly :) We made it through the weekend. I wasn't totally nuts but this was my first weekend off plan (since being back) and I am sure I ate over my TDEE both days. So we shall see how…

Uggh costumes and a dress was a huge fail. So the wedding dress I thought I was going to use didn't fit!! So I had to scrap the whole bride of Frankenstein thing. I ended up going to Salvation Army and got a horrific 80s Dynasty type dress and I am going to glam it up 80s style. Jury is still out on what Mike will be but…

Haha I know just what you mean about pulling out the "fat" pants to feel comfortable. I have been wearing stretch dresses to avoid that and finally bit the bullet when it got cold and pulled out the bigger pants. I have to keep telling myself it is just temporary. I 100% agree about the sleeping thing effecting everything.…

One day at a time is right! Though I am trying to think of this as maintenance in the grand scheme of things, I did have a total freak out over the weekend when I realized this is the highest weight (over 140) that I have been at since July 2011!! Talk about reality check. Nothing really fits but I refuse to get new…

Ok I am back now that I can post again! haha. I tried posting yesterday but with the updates I wasn't able to. Trip was fun and it took my mind off our current TTC issues which was nice. I did get randomly burned in weird places so that sucked but overall it was great to take a few days off. Now back to the fall grind!…

Well I am back and scared to get on the scale tomorrow. Haha. It was nice to get away but I know I gained some serious weight between this vacation and the stress eating from the week before. I will be thrilled with anything under 140 but I am not holding my breath for that. Oh well all I can do is work at it some more.…

Well D&C went as well as could be expected. I am feeling ok other than pure exhausting when I try to do too much. Like yesterday I tried to go about my business as usual without any meds and I totally hit the wall by 2pm. I was begging for my Advil and felt like I could have slept for hours. I was told that for about a…

Yeah it was not a particularly fun weekend that was for sure. The news on Monday was not unexpected. The embryo was still not growing normally and I would probably miscarry as soon as I stopped my medicines (which I did on Monday). They did schedule a D&C for Friday just in case I don't miscarry before then because I am…

Well sadly it doesn't look like #3 is going to be our keeper. It was measuring behind and not showing the development they were looking for at this stage. We are having a follow up sonogram on Monday to confirm but we can say with a fair certainty that the embryo stopped growing about 5 days ago. I am so sad. It does get…

Glad to hear isn't max. I would be flipped out too if it was max security. I am sore as can be in my upper body. I forgot how the CLX Lean workouts sneak up on you. You are all comfy doing a single exercise at a time then BOOM suddenly you are trying to do a bicep curl in one hand and a hamstring curl with you leg all…

Oh I missed your blog. I just went back to find it now. I could have written it myself. I am a weekend binger and because of that and my back to back vacations I am up about 10lbs from my low. So I am so right there with you about things being tight and uncomfortable. I really wanted to be under 130lb before I got pregnant…

I am back from vacation (4 pounds up as you can understand, haha) and back to the grind. How is the new job going for Hubby? I know how you feel about just not having you head in the game. I am right there with you. I know I need to get to it to get this extra weight off (clothes are tight and I am feeling flabby) but I…
