A Quick Update...

I have been a little lazy with my blogging this week, but here is a quick update:

I am on CD 20 and think I ovulated yesterday so the 2WW begins...

A good friend and fellow blogger, Stacey, finally had her longed for baby boy last week! Congratulations! She gives us long term TTCers hope! X

I had a manic weekend battling with Argos over non delivery of my new wardrobes! Big complaint letter heading their way!

The week ended on a high with lunch and a girly afternoon with my little sister :-) xx

Not an amazing week on my fit before 30 challenge, I didn't fit as much exercise in as I hoped due to all the drama - must do better this week!

Xx

Fit Before 30 Update.... My First Stone!

I lost my first stone tonight! Whoop whoop!

This means I am halfway there! One stone down one more to go!

Been really good this last week so need to keep going now!

I now have 12 weeks to lose 14 lb to get to goal before my 30th birthday!

This week I will be upping my exercise - if possible I will try to do something everyday.

I want to restart my 30 day shred but I think I will try to just do a couple of days a week, instead of the daily for 30 days you are meant to do, as it is so exhausting.

I already do zumba once a week but will try to throw in some running as well - eek!

Wish me luck! Xxx

Not Such A Bad Day After All

Well today didn't turn out quite as upsetting as I thought. I had a really great girly afternoon with my mummy and little sister gossiping and watching confessions of a shopaholic.

My sister got me some gorgeous pale yellow tulips to cheer me up, which was so lovely of her :-)

I am so lucky to have good people in my life xx

Tomorrow Is Another Day

This time last year I was disappointed that I was about to go through my first mothers day since starting TTC and wasn't yet pregnant. Roll forward one year and I am about to face my second mothers day with no baby nor pregnancy on the horizon. This sucks.

Tomorrow will be a really hard day for me and countless other mummy-wannabes struggling with fertility issues.

I want to be positive so I am going to spend tomorrow celebrating my mummy!

I can't even describe the amount of support my mummy has given me in the last year. Having struggling to conceive me for years she can understand this like no other can.

Our daily morning chats have kept me sane when times were hard and things not going my way.

I don't always tell her how much I love and appreciate her support but I honestly do.

Love you mummy xxx

P.S if I haven't made you a nanny by next year we will just have to steal one :D xx

Fit Before 30.... Update

I weighed in tonight and was quite pleased that I managed to minimise the damage to a half lb gain.

I have lost 12 lb to date and want to lose 2 stone (28 lb) so 16 lb to go.

So from today I have 13 weeks exactly to lose 16 lb!

I will do this! X

3 Months Until The Big 30!

I have been struggling the last couple of weeks to keep my mind focussed and the scales are reflecting it!

Today I have realised that it is exactly 3 months until I am 30 - eek!

So from now on I need to get my butt in gear and stop letting my emotions dictate my eating!

When I joined WW in December I wanted to get to goal by my birthday, that is still achievable but only if I get back on track and stay there!

I now have 13 weeks left to lose well over a stone! (I won't know the exact number until I see the damage on the scales tomorrow).

Wish me luck! X

CD1.... Definitely This Time!

CD1 has, without a doubt, now arrived!

New cycle, new chance, new attitude...

Xx

Make Your Mind Up!

Sometimes I really wish my body would make it's mind up!

I wasn't on CD1 after all, I wish it was for a good reason like being pregnant but no, my body just likes to wind me up!

I have been spotting on and off since Sunday night, which is extremely annoying because I just want to get the new cycle underway and move on gggrrrrrrrrrr

I know you can have spotting and still be pregnant but by this point I know my body well, in fact this is a little game it likes to play most months, plus I have peed on enough sticks to know for sure I am out for this cycle :0(

So roll on official CD1 so we can start again!

Xx

CD1..... Again :0(

So despite feeling more positive about this cycle, Aunt Flo decided to pop by for a visit - how nice of her!

I am really, really fed up and had a really good cry when I started spotting last night. Rick has been amazing, giving me massive hugs and telling me it will happen for us.

So here we are again, CD1, but another cycle closer to our consultant appointment.

Really wish this had happened over the weekend so I could slob around and watch tv. I am having really bad cramps but will have to dose up on feminax and get my butt to work.

I can't even eat my body weight in chocolate because I have weigh in tomorrow (although I did have a mini biscuit binge last night).

This totally sucks!

I promise to be more positive in my next post! Xx
