TTC March/April/May 2015?

Hi Ash

I had an excel spread sheet done out counting calories, protein and fruit/veg portions to make sure that I was getting approx 90g of protein per day and eating enough veg without going too mad on calories ( See what I mean about a martha personality). I was on the HE diet for 4 months and gained 8lb in total - 2lb a month.

You can see in my blog post I have 3 days of what tracking what I ate. The 1st number is calories, 2nd is protein and 3rd is fruit and Veg portion count. The protein bars I made at home and the recipie is in the link below. As well as a lot of my main meals. Lunch was often leftovers of these.

I also posted a lot of my recipies here on the dream member section.

Best of luck with your sway, wishing you blue dust. Below is the details of my DS sway

How is everyone doing?

I've been focusing on exercise now that I am finally better. DS4 has been trying to walk with me. It's really cute! His enthusiasm is really helpful in keeping me motivated. :)

Love it. Very cute. DS3 is eighteen months old so at that hugely cute phase of his character blossoming. So much fun. I've been doing LE since Jan 5th but I feel like I've done a half-arsed job lately as my mum's been ill. She's recovering now so I'm determined to get back on track seriously now.

So glad to hear your mom is doing better! 18 months is my favorite age! They are still so cute and haven't gotten to the terrible two's yet. :D I know what you mean about half-arsed. I did the same thing when I was so sick. I tried, but it's hard when you feel like crap and just want to sleep all day! We went grocery shopping yesterday, so I only have LE foods in the house now. I have no choice but to be back on track, lol!

I hear you. Since I started at the beginning of January I seem to have developed the pattern of 2 good weeks then a slack week. However, Lent for us starts on Wednesday so I am really hoping that that will get my motivation back! We still aren't sure whether or not we will try in May or June. It really depends when my due date falls I think.

Finally started losing a little weight! Down 5 lbs. SO glad. It makes such a difference in how I feel about my casual sway. We're still on the fence about trying this month. It might be a trial run month. :) I have no idea if I'm ovulating normally yet. I *feel* like it's O time, but it's earlier than I normally do.

Mommymachine, you made me feel so much better about my attempts on the diet, lol! I've been doing the exact same thing! It doesn't help that I absolutely hate chicken but feel like I *need* it to replace the beef that I normally eat. HAHA!! I was talking to DH about it and came to the conclusion that I should just stop forcing myself to eat it and do vegetarian instead. I think it would be easier for me to stick to.

Yay, girliedreams!! That's awesome! I'm trying to force myself to get back on track. It isn't helping that I am super stressing over the surgery on Monday. :nails: I've caught myself stress eating 3 times today!! I just keep reminding myself what the end goal is and that if I lost weight on this diet once, I can do it again! :)

You will be so relieved when your surgery is behind you!!!

Yes, I will! I am trying to think positive thoughts and am reminding myself of how quick the tubal was originally. It hurt like hell afterward, but I got over it. :D It was about a 2 week recovery.

So I was thinking of starting TTC in March but I just want to do one attempt this month with a big cut off ( 4 days before ovulation) for fun and just bc I'm inpatient.
I've been on the diet for 6 weeks only and have lost 5 lbs ( vegetarian).
One other reason I want to do it this month is bc I don't have my clomid yet and part of me wants to get it over and done without clomid. I know my chances of getting pregnant with one attempt with a long cut off is very slim.

I don't really believe in the chinese calendar prediction but I just looked and it looks like it's a boy for feb for my age.

Any thoughts?
