I saw you start the Insanity. You go girl. I know I probably need more cardio right now but you know my feelings on it so CLX is right up my alley. I have gotten real lazy lately and I am doing only mostly the weight lifting workouts and calling my weekend business my cardio for the week. haha But I am sure I would get…

How was your weekend? Congrats on the new jobs! I am sure your new job is just around the corner. :laugh: We had a good weekend but yesterday we went out on my friend's boat and I burned the crap out of my back! I am hoping it is mostly gone by Friday since we are headed to Florida on Saturday. I seemed to have kicked the…

Nice I can't wait to hear how it is going! Yeah I got side tracked for sure the last 5 days. I tried to be good but with being cooped up in the house (bad weather) with the inlaws all day everyday, surrounded by delicious food I basically stuffed myself silly. Boredom and stress eating = major gluttony. So I am sure I will…

Have fun! We will be heading out of town on Wednesday so I will be MIA after tomorrow until the following week. Have a good one!

Glad to hear you got some needed R&R. And nice profile pic too I might add! I know how hard it is to just hope for the best but knowing that it might not happen and all you can do is wait. I am there with the baby thing and my job. It is just a constant flurry of hurry up and wait. Sucks but what can you do. Yeah my weight…

Yes well the scale was up 3lbs but it was better than the 7.5pounds I was up yesterday. I am sure it is bloat since my uterus is hating on me right now. Well we went back the RE yesterday. Everything checked out and looked good. Mike got is swimmer analysis done and as expected everything is fine with him. Seems to just be…

Thanks. I am definitely emotional rollercoaster. Ok and ready to move on one minute a wailing nut job the next.

Got the results back and I was totally shocked. My numbers were down and the pregnancy is starting to terminate already. I am beside myself for sure. I honestly didn't see it coming. I thought this one would stick.

Aww that sucks. Sorry about the job!! Yeah it is just not meant to be but yeah I can imagine you are upset. I would be as well. That is shocking that they filled the job that fast after the interview. At least you know though. I am still waiting to hear if I am getting calling in for an interview. Did some networking for…

Sooo AWESOME about the interview!!! How did it go? The fact that you even got an interview was awesome in and of itself. I spent hours on Sat applying for my dream job and just pray I will get a chance to interview for it. Good for you with enjoying your life at little (aka kahlua) and still maintaining! CLX is working it…

Sorry to hear about your phone. That just sucks. But good luck on dream job!!! I am sure once you get the interview you will certainly get it. But I know how hard it is to get that foot in the door. I am the same way now. I am just starting to look myself and I am already beat down by everything. I hate having to go…

Glad to hear things are at least getting better. I am enjoying CLX but I have all sorts of drama going on at working and then also this whole TTC thing is throwing me for a loop. My weight skyrocketed after I was given an HCG shot and now that I am on progesterone supplements. I know it has to be water weight so something…

Uggh soo annoying. I posted a whole response here on Friday after my RE appointment but it never showed up :mad: But I will give you the fast run down. My weight is up which is expected. Trying to get it back down but I have definitely been out of focus with the diet. Need to get it together. I did talk to the RE about…

Got a good workout in today so that is always good. Food hasn't been too much of an issue since I got back since my appetite has been down. I can eat but I don't have a tremendous appetite for decent food and there isn't much crap in the house so eating is covered. haha. Though I still have ups and downs about the…

I am back in town. Well it was a good distraction but it was more of a work than leisure trip. My 94 year old grandfather is in the process of moving from NJ to an assisted living in TX, so most of the time I was there helping prepare for the estate sale and clearing out the house. It is a lot of work for sure. It kept my…

Yeah every day gets better. I am also about to leave town to visit family over the 4th and that will be a good distraction. I am also going to the specialist next week to see where we go from here and I am looking forward to that. Just trying not to do too much damage at this point but hey if I do I have good reason…

Sadly what was cooking is no longer there. We had a rough weekend as I started to miscarry early Sat morning and had to wait until this morning to get finite answers. But we just learned that the baby is gone and the worst is over. So sad but it is good to finally have answers and to have been able to have it naturally…

Happy Birthday!!!!!:drinker: Yes today is not the day to be too strict with the diet (or whatever day you are celebrating your birthday :laugh: ) I know what you mean though. Are we going to stop living life over 5-10lbs? I have to tell myself that on a regular basis. I was so proud of myself for only gaining 3.8lbs on…

It was great. I was the same way with food as well. I didn't go crazy but I certainly had some over indulgence. My weigh in last week was 3.8lbs up which isn't awesome but I am ok with. The last 2 years I have gone for 5 days and eat and drink myself sick (literally I will make myself feel sick I am so full) and I am up 7…

I'm back!! Yeah so I wasn't as good on the trip as I hoped. Only really logged 3 of the 7 days. I did better than the last 2 times with eating but I am sure I will see a gain. Hopefully it will be a few pounds that I get off in a week or two versus the 8 I usually put on that takes me months! How has your vacation been?

Just wanted to pop in and let you know I will be out of pocket until next week. Beach time baby! Not in as good of shape as last year but I am going to try much harder to not go completely overboard (famous last words right?) Have a great week and I will see you next Wed!

Ouch! I hope your foot is feeling better! I remember when I had the glass in there and it sucked. That is funny about your first aid kit getting used up fast. The life of being a mommy to boys right? :laugh: Yeah trying not to worry about the scale too much. It will all be worth it if I get pregnant this go round. If not…

Hope you had fun at field day and glad you are enjoying the nicer weather. We have a lot more nice weather than you do since our winters are usually 40 degree averages with no snow and one or two days of sleet out of the year. But then we have 2 months of complete misery to do thing outside since we will have weeks on end…

Happy belated anniversary!!! Hope you had a great time. Sorry for the delay. I have been busy busy so I haven't been on here as much as usual and then there was the 3 day holiday. I overall did well. I was under my calories everyday except Sunday. I didn't really track on Sunday since we had a lunch at my parents and…

Sounds like a fun week. My weekend was pretty good in terms of food. I did indulge but I was well below my TDEE for the day, each day. I have noticed though since I am doing the heavy lifting again I am STARVING. Like want to rip off someone's head starving. I know I am not making the best decisions when I am like that so…

Happy almost anniversary!! Amazing how times flies right? Also congrats on the scale! My weigh in was the same as last week but I think that means it is actually up a little since I was really bloated last week. I am ok with it though since I am sitting right at 130 still and know I can get it under 130 this week. Nothing…

So we are back on it together :laugh: I will be on the scale as well tomorrow. I have no idea how that is going to go. Meaning will it be bad or really bad? haha. I am doing it solely to try to get my head on straight since I am going to have dinner at Mike's parent's house on Wednesday. I need a wake up call so I try to…

Glad to hear I wasn't the only one eating cruddy over the weekend! I really blew it out. We had 2 parties and I ate and drank like there was no tomorrow. So I am scared to see what the scale tells me. I am already up a bit last week but that is presumably due to water retention and bloat from both being so sore from the…

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Hope you had a good weekend. I sure did. We were so busy with parties and events and my mom took Josie overnight so we had a whole 12 hours all to ourselves. Hopefully I didn't undo all my hard work because I was definitely over calories. I would like to think I was eating at my TDEE the last 2 days…

Oooooo a haunted scale! That sounds spooky! Any time any electronic device acts up I think ghosts are trying to communicate with me. What can I say, the movie White Noise really did a number on me! :laugh: Yep I can't believe I am still sick. I don't think I have ever taken off more than a week for something like this! My…
