Cycle Day 13

I'm currently a little over 7 lbs away from driver license weight. That's pretty exciting. Last week we were on vacation, so no elliptical. But . . . 5 days of running first thing in the morning. I need every day to be a vacation day. I've been using the ovulation test kit since cd11 and I have my progesterone ready to go. Fingers and toes crossed, but definitely not getting my hopes up.

Back in a Funk

Not as much exercising as I'd like these days. And way more eating than I'd like. I've just been so hungry. I haven't been tracking my food or exercise. So I'm in a funk about that too. I'd really like to just sit in a dark room stuffing my face. Not really. That would not make me happy. Nothing sounds good to me.

I also think I'm bloated. Today is CD 25. I've been averaging 26 days, so I'm thinking my off and on headaches and general meh-ness could be signs of my impending period. Which is crappy, because now that I'm ovulating . . . UGH! I was really hoping we wouldn't have to spend a crap ton of money on the shots, monitoring, and insemination.

Friday Josh found my engagement ring. That made me happy. I love my ring, but for a while my fingers were too fat to wear it AND my wedding band. I've been wearing it since Friday. And I guess looking down at it brings some level of happiness. We picked it out together at a small jewelry store in my hometown. It's a triangle cut garnet solitaire in a white gold setting.

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

Getting so close to leaving the obese BMI and entering overweight range. I'm sure I'm not the first person to get excited about being called overweight, but it definitely seems strange.

Last weekend we went to a resort in PA. I was expecting a miserable time, because it was a party hosted by Josh's former roommate. And it was off and on not so fun. But I was planning on just having stories to tell. (People drinking 40s, gun range . . . ) Since the party was still raging when we were ready to sleep, Josh suggested we sleep in my car. So we did. It was very uncomfortable. BUT it encouraged us to wake up at sunrise. Part of the resort is like a zoo--lions, and tiger, and bears! zebras, bison, mountain goats, a piece of the Berlin Wall!) We were the only people walking around at 6:30 am. It was very misty and the whole experience was pretty magical. It was completely worth the trip.
