New cycle , new start !
Plan for this month .... eat healthy, drink tea, and get walking/exercise in . I also plan on organizing my house a bit and being a more productive mommy to my 9 and a half month old . Stress is a fertility killer so it’s time to prime my mind and body for optimum baby dust! Who’s with me? I’m now cycle day 2 !
I’m here for support , Becky !! It seems like since I’ve been working out I’ve been down about 1.2 lbs a day for the last few days . My legs are sooo sore . I heard since your thigh muscles are so large, working them out can end up burning a lot of calories , as muscle burns fat ... I feel better, and the funny thing is, I made my hubby do a session yesterday and he woke up from a dead sleep and bd’d with me. In an odd way, I think it gives us both more energy !
Girl I was supposed to start doing all the good stuff this week but I came down with the flu so was sick in bed all week ??? I did lose a few pounds just from having no appetite but at is due tomorrow so I probably have some water weight to shed too. I’m having some symptoms but I’m sure it’s all in my head so I’ll be joining you on a healthier lifestyle journey tomorrow. I know I can do it and how to do it because I lost 60 pounds over the last few years but gained back 20 when I got married ? We got this though girl!! Congrats on losing that 4 pounds and keep it up! ???✨✨✨✨
3 days in a row of a session on the bow flex max trainer ( who knew a 3 minute warmup and 14 minute cardio session could be absolute hell hahah) but feeling very proud . I’ve also been taking prenatals, coQ10 and a probiotic all from Trader Joe’s . I’m now cycle day 6 and have one bd under my belt , yesterday with the hubs . Just from working out and eating better I’m down 4 lbs so far this cycle ( I’m guessing mostly inflammation/water weight ) ... crossing my fingers for a successful cycle, but also open to knowing since this is really the first month “ trying” again that it may not. Either way, I’ve been having a pretty blissful month so far. Here’s to a few more fabulous weeks !
Exercise and eating healthy is good for everything!! Mentally and physically ? I used to eat whatever I wanted and never worries about gaining weight until I found out I had ibs and was really sick. Now I don’t know how I went so long eating so unhealthy. It’s so life changing!! I’m a huge advocate for it. It also helped regulate my cycle and I’ve never been regular!!
Awesome , beckyboop!! We got this ! I conceived immediately after my husband and I finished a round of whole30 ( it’s basically paleo on crack ... no added sugar or sweetners, grains/gluten, soy, dairy , legumes , or alcohol .... just lots of meat,fruit, veggies, and eggs) . I whole heartedly believe it regulated our hormones on top of helping us lose weight ( my hubby dropped 30 lbs in 30 days and that’s with us eating huge portions still) . I also believe the stress of clutter cannot possibly be good for a relaxed cycle of trying . I need some “zen” in my life .
Also, thanks ladies !!! A little luck and a lot of bd’ing and we should be on our way to babyville!!
I’m right there with you. I gained about 20 pounds since getting married and I know losing weight helped me conceive my daughter 10 years ago so I’m hoping that’ll be a step in the right direction this time around too. I also am cutting back on my work schedule and one of my goals is to declutter and organize. Maybe it’ll help with my stress levels too ?
Good luck and baby dust to you ???✨✨✨✨
I think I need to cut back on working as much so I can do some of these things. I keep most of my house clean but my bedroom is a disaster. I bet cleaning and organizing it would bring a lot of stress relief.
Keep up the good work ladies and baby dust to us all!!
