Guess What!

OK, so you all know how long I've wanted to TTC. After some talking the other night we have decided to start trying in May!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think I have to tell you how excited I am. What I didn't aticipate was the fear lol. Now that I know we can do this soon I'm a little nervous. It's such a huge life change.

So now on the agenda....lose weight. I am 149 as of yesterday. I will NOT get to 150. (I never thought I'd get to 140 but I guess thats what laziness gets me) I refuse to let myself hit that number. I want to be 123 when we start TTC.

I need your help! I want to be held accountable. Today I have a really great lunch and breakfast and I am going to the gym tonight (taking it slow though)

I'm happy Big Smile

Re: Guess What!

  • It might be a bit much to expect to lose 26 pounds in 3 months, but you can definitely be headed in the right direction in a healthy way before May!  I'm sure it's a wonderful feeling to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and know exactly when you're going to start!  Kinda jealous.

    Thank you! I'm super excited. Please don't be jealous of me, I've felt that way for years now and it sucks lol

    I thought it might be a lot to lose too but when I plugged in my goal weight into "My Net Diary" it said it could be done by May 2011 and the program will not let me do it faster than is healthy. I don't want to lose it too fast either, bc I want to minimize any more stretch marks (I already have some because I seem to be a yo-yo when it comes to weight gain and loss).

    Now it's just a matter of actually working out.

    OH and we're not telling our family either, we don't want them contantly asking us.

  • So exciting! Good luck with both goals. It is a crazy feeling when you go from 'I want to have a baby' to 'ok we are going to try having a baby.'

  • Yay!  I know you've been wanting that for a while.  Hopefully having that goal in mind will be a good motivator for working out and eating healthy.

    I'm hoping that too. I've known I need to work out and eat healthy but I've been in a slump. But now knowing that I will be doing this not only for me but for the health of our future baby makes a huge difference.

  • Super exiting!

  • Have fun! Just A suggestion, if you haven't already, get some prenatal vitamins started and make sure you are up to date on your vaccines, including TDAP.

  • Thank you all! :) it's great having all of u here to be excited with me. I've been so happy to hear all of your stories and life changes over the years. 

    I have been taking a prenatal for a while now but just realized it doesn't have much calcium. And I have an apt march 15 for my annual and im going to talk to him about TTC and see what else I need.

    Thank you. ?? I hope you're doing ok 

  • Congrats!! have fun practicing in the mean time ;)

    Also, I'm not sure if you already chart, but I found that charting a few months in advance helped us out this time around since I was more familiar with what my body did every month. It also helped tide over the baby-crazy before we started trying again lol.

    Lol thanks :) and I did start charting Dec 12th. It's just a great tool that I wish every woman knew about. I'm hopefully just about to finish up

    My second cycle. I find it so interesting! Lol much to my husbands avail. I also have a prepregnancy appointment on march first. I've been takin prenatal vitamins for over a year (I need the iron and this was suggested by my gyno) but I'm afraid there isn't enough calcium so I'll see if the doc prescribes any thing else. It will be nice to walk in there and have my chart and at least know more than I did befote
