Monday

Elliptical today, because I'm up a pound-ish from early weekend debauchery or Indian buffet, how I love you! Anticipating a 20 min run tonight, elliptical tomorrow, elliptical and run on Wednesday, elliptical Thursday, and better choices over the weekend. We'll see. The past few weekends have ruined me.

Tuesday

This week I'm starting a healthy living challenge. It's being hosted by the county extension offices. Yesterday we got our first email and this week we're supposed to focus on getting 6-8 cups of water/day. The water bottle I drink out of holds 3 cups, so it wasn't too difficult to get to the goal. We're also supposed to track our exercise. The goal is 30 minutes at least 3 times a week. To meet that I'm adding back the elliptical on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. I'm almost halfway to my goal weight (after 4 months). Hopefully it doesn't take another 4 months to lose the rest. I'd like to be back to treatment by the end of July.

Sunday Funday

Weight Loss: +1.25%

The husband just left for work. While he was showering I got in a 20 minute program. After I write this I'll take the dog for a walk. She has an 8:00 grooming appointment. Then I'll stop at the grocery on the way home to pick up a granny smith apple and some mint, so I can make dog treats. Once I get home I'll start the treats. Then I'll probably elliptical some more. On the way to pick up the dog I'll be hitting up the library and a couple craft stores. Then home. Tonight for dinner we're trying out a couple of recipes for next weekend. A mushroom puff pastry tart and a chicken and zucchini main course. Maybe I'll get a show or two off the DVR too. We'll see.

When I got home from work I triggered with Novarel (first time in the left leg), took the do out, and then jumped onto the elliptical. I went longer than the 20 min program, because The Bloodhound Game came on and really . . .

A Rededication

Bravelle and IUI didn't work out. So this cycle I'm back to letrozole, because we wanted to do something, but not spend a lot of money. Husband isn't home a lot, so if we mess up our timing we won't be out a crap-ton of money. Tomorrow I get my mid-cycle ultrasound scan and then they'll tell me when to trigger and our sexytimes schedule.
Today I have decided I'm really going to work on this whole losing 10% of my weight thing (it's been shown that sometimes that jump starts the ole fertility). We'll see how long this manic episode lasts. I'm counting this morning's weight as the beginning of the 10%. So far I ellipticalled to the second half of a Charmed episode (Season 4, Episode 6) and then after Husband left for work I did a 20 minute program with my Google Music Let's Get Physical Playlist.

Now to shower and head to work. I'll probably do some cleaning when I get home. Maybe take the dog for a walk.
