Since I posted in here or any of the main forum. I was swaying, dh wasn't. Then he decided he wanted to wait to ttc. After a friend recently announced she's having a girl after just 1 boy, and it hit me so much harder than I expected ( I cried for nearly a full week) dh and I had a bit of a 'discussion' about it. Like how it simply isn't possible that he can only make boys, and no his cousin could not only make girls no matter what he said about having a test or the fact he had all of 2 daughters!
So last night he said to me "after all the Christmas food and drink is done, what's this diet we have to do? What about the exercise?" And he is willing to give it a go in January.
I'm so excited that he is on board and feel that although I still don't want a 'kitchen sink' sway, I do have more dedication and chance of sticking to it all because he is more on board. Last time when I was trying to avoid snacking he'd be trying to get me to snack with him and stuff.
So my plan is
January- condoms so I get at least a month of swaying in before ttc.
Less/no meat, low cal, lower fat where possible. 2-3 meals a day with no snacks.
60 minutes cardio 6/7 days a week.
February- start ttc. I don't know when I O my cycle is a little off still, I'm thinking dtd every 4 days as hubby's age rules out abstain and when we were trying for the others I never got pregnant when we were dtd every day which could be coincidence but who knows. In fact, all 4 boys were conceived after not having dtd for at least a week anyway although I know my diet what typical boy diet then lol
Anyway I'm rambling. I'm just thrilled that he is going to be giving me full support on this and even dieting a little himself.
