October chat thread for pink swayers

[zanacal]

I have to say that I feel a bit like I was in a bit of a fug when I was planning my sway, it was so difficult to think of anything else and whenever I should have been relaxing and enjoying doing things with the family I was just wanting to log in to the site and talk about my obsession! I feel like a weight has lifted now I'm pregnant. I also had the most hideous episode of PMS the cycle before we conceived - the month I took SP and Vitex the whole month long - and I don't usually get PMS at all. It was nasty!

Yes zanacal that´s how I feel and why I want to get pregnant soon, to have that weight lift off.
I wanted to stop swaying this cycle but I have a hard time doing that, I have a mild case of swayorexia
I could enjoy eating again if I knew I was pregnant, now if I eat breakfast and snack, I know this is going to sway boy for me even more than it has in the past because now my body would totally feel times have gotten better!
I totally crave a lot of food when I see it but I can´t make myself having breakfast again or eat boy foods. This makes me very cranky
And I really would love another boy, I just want to have a 50/50 change for a daughter..., so I´m on rice and leeks again
So my new plan is: if I don´t get pregnant this month I will get off the diet and just do cardio every day

I think my problem is that I love food - especially tasty food! I am really not a nice person on Vitex and SP but can't give it up! I feel like I put my all into last month's attempt and didn't catch the egg and am not being nearly so good this month.

I am skipping breakie and cutting back on the meat (my attempt at vegetarianism is dreadful!). I lost about a stone in 6 weeks before last month's attempt but don't really have that much more I can lose so feel like that is letting me down as well.

I have a week till my next attempt so will try really hard on the diet and try to catch that eggie!

Sorry for the ramble! x

Good luck maybe! We´ll be O buddies, FX
I love tasty food too. I was doing fine on the diet so I didn´t really miss tasty food, but I cheated a lot in my last 2ww, and I have to say I´d almost forgotten how good things taste when there´s salt in it !

Hi, all. Forgot this thread was here! So here's a funny story...

DH has been bringing home loads of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, cake, etc. We never have that kind of stuff in our house! He said he was trying to cheer me up. I told him that was sweet but then to stop it b/c I need to start swaying. He then continued to bring that stuff home and I asked why...He said he remembered me saying one time that guys being a bit over weight/pudgy could sway "girl". I LMAO and said not to worry about it. Poor, sweet DH. I'm so lucky to have him. He said he won't lift weights anymore (which he did every early a.m.) and that he'll happily take Lic. Root and eat anything I give him. Just wanted to share.

He is taking the job He starts in just over three weeks. In the meantime, we'll be meeting with realtors, getting the house ready to sell, etc. If anyone has any tips- please share. This is our first time selling a home.

Declutter declutter declutter.... We sold a house in 7 days by packing away nearly everything, except for a weeks worth of clothing. We had 1 painted picture in each room, limited furniture placed so the room felt big, we sent the pets to Grandmas house, and we cleaned right before the 3 showings (2 to the same people).

For living/family rooms get rid of the tv but keep a small couch, a recliner, end table and coffee table. A few pillows, real plants, and a rug help to.... Kitchen should look nearly empty. No matter the size if it looks clean with the counter tops cleared it looks big... Dinning room should have a table and a hutch with no childrens chairs. No need to set the table but some flowers and placemats are nice... Kids rooms should be simple and clean. We had just a bed and dresser with the beds made. No toys people hate toys for some reason... Bathrooms should be the cleanest. Only have a mat by the sink and nothing by the toilet or bath or on the toilet. People see the mats in the bathroom as germ filled and will be turned away.

Good smelling things help like fruit. Cut some citrus fruit and throw it in the garbage disposal and turn it on so the sink smells good. Don't use air freasheners because people think you are hiding something. Don't use fake plants because it makes you look to lazy to care for a house. If your house is small buy/borrow small scale furniture.
