TTC girl- July 2012

Suregena - you are so tiny! I wouldn't feel bad about the things you are indulging in at all. And, I think we all have to remember that what we are doing now is still so much less than when we had our boys!

I am 8 DPO today....time is going so slow! FF has me at 7 DPO, but I am 100% that I O'd on CD12. I hate this wait! And...I just know there is no way possible I could get pg the first cycle with all the things I did. SO...I am really just ready to move on and start with cycle 2. I have been doing better on the diet and have my grocery list all made. Going shopping gets me motivated again! I tend to do really bad when food supply gets low!

Suregena- it's so hard, right! I'm all or nothing. I try to remind myself I can eat whatever later when I have a bfp. I can fo out or make anything I've wanted this whole time! I also think when we eat too much we still within limits. It's just when your ao strict more seems like a binge!

Don't know if I posted on this thread:last night 6dpo I had a little spotting. A tiny drop on tp and in toilet. Then some when I wiped later which was only when I wiped. Then nothing! I am praying that was IB I have to admit it got me totally excited I'm gonna be let down if im not preg. I've never had it before. Then again only once did I plan a pregnancy so I might not have noticed or made anything of symptoms!

Leaving work early to get my son as the flood sirens went off again in my town! Prince Charles is in our town today, simultaneously to view the flood damage... er, from a couple weeks ago. How exquisitly oddly timed...

I have the most maaaaaasive salad for dinner. I ate 5 cookies at work (work is doomsday for me, I'm totally having a second son! Geez! I didn't end up eating anything for lunch, except those) so skipped lunch entirely. I decided to skip out on my usual rice tonight and am having a big salad. It's 150g iceberg, 150g mushrooms, 150g green bell peppers, 150g cucumber, 2 tablespoons reduced fat sour cream, and 1 tablespoon salsa... with two pieces of white Danish weight watchers bread with a little soy spread.


Is it bad it's mostly veggies?! Is it bad it looks like a lot when put together?

At the moment, my cal for the day is 970 (oy vey), 40g fat, 25g protein. Yet... I feel guilt! The cookies! The large volume of veggies! I just can't win! Ha. :/

LOL Suregena! I feel you pain, but have to laugh because I feel like I do this too! I had a binge on just six red twists last weekend, and felt SO much guilt because I had no idea how many calories I ate. But I did drop a pound a day later, so I guess all was ok! I am on AF right now and just desperately want to veg in front of TV with ice cream or really chips!! I never really eat chips, but for some reason really want them since I can't have salt! ERR! I'm 3-4 weeks in and considering trying this go round, but DH hasn't been doing FR, so what would be the point, plus I should wait a little longer on the diet! Maybe by the end of this I will be in children's clothing and save some money on my jeans ;-)

Hi ladies! Many +HPT prayers your way!

How r u kraisy? Been thinking of u :)

I am good. Trying to focus on our new house. We close next week so I have been very busy. We DTD twice but I don't know exactly if or when I Oed. Maybe around cd15-17 I think. I had a few signs, but my mind has not been on TTC lately. I will be very shocked if our two times got us a baby this month. Been trying to keep up with the thread as best I can though. Not been able to post much though. Wanted to be apart of the July thread though.

Lord bless all the spoken and unspoken prayers for BFPs this month. Make their dreams come true with beautiful pink bundles!!! AMEN!!!

I don't think that's bad at all. I was practically living on raw mushrooms during my sway. Remember, you have to eat ~something~ and a big plate of veggies is so much better than meat. It's gonna be low-cal, low-protein, low-sodium ... sounds great to me!!

I am already a vegetarian... so I've stopped eating loads of beans/lentils like I did before and don't really eat cheese (when I would eat tons of cheese before). It's rice and sour cream for protein sources currently... my body is so used to heavy bean eating (I'm from Arizona!), if anything... the lack of beans probably freaks it out a little. I've noticed that while on the diet, I really struggle going up our steep steps in our house! Especially when carrying my toddler. I feel like I've got no strength anymore... a floppy noodle.
