Sheilas who want Sheilas!

[CherryBlossom]

Not much going on here. But I'm officially 9 months away from starting my sway and 12 months till we start ttc!!!
Given everything goes to plan that is. Dp has depression and we really want to sort that out before ttc!!!

Hi girls :-)

I'm another Sheila wanting a Sheila :-)

I'm fortunate to be the mother to DD- 6, DS1 - 4, DS2 - turning 1 in 2 weeks!!! We will be trying for no.4 in about 6-8 weeks.

I'm currently doing the Biggest Loser at my work and hoping to lose another 5-6kgs in these next 5 weeks to get down to my lowest weight (pre-kids) of 58-60kg....I'm hoping this will put me in good sted for DD2.

This is our last baby and DD is desperate for a sister - I know how she feels as I was desperate for a sister growing up and never got one :-( I'd love to give her that gift.

Our darling DS2 was a failed sway - I followed a-genders info loosely - used Sylk, FR, took calcium/cranberry/magnesium, shallow position jump and dump etc - we took over a year to conceive him though so I gave up on a lot of things after 6 months of TTC.

We don't fall easily, DD took over a year, DS1 however was conceived first go so I have hope we can do it again!

This time I am hoping to stick to the LE diet, eats lots of yoghurt/milk, reduce salt, check pH - I am currently searching for a good meter on eBay, use either Acini-Joel or rephresh - I purchased aci jel but have yet to test what it does to my pH, we will do frequent release - DH releasing 2x per day (lucky man!!) and maybe give 0+12 a go if I ever figure it out?!?!??

I'll take calcium, magnesium, frolic acid, vit B, cranberry, vit C - DH will take all of these plus licorice root.

A few questions:
1)What yoghurt do you ladies eat? I just purchased Gippsland Organic plain yoghurt - I checked it has pretty low sodium and apparently 0% potassium - I then just cut up fresh strawberries and put it in. I can't stomach the Greek yoghurt so I read organic is the next best?

2) what sugar free gum do you chew? All the ones I see have stevia/truvia in them which is apparently banned??

3)is hardcore gym exercise allowed? I just joined and am loving the group classes - a lot of cardio/high impact - I'm doing it for weight loss but will probably continue once I'm at my goal as I enjoy it so much :-) don't want to do it if it is boy friendly though!!

I try and compare my girl to my boys in regards to lifestyle etc and don't see much of a difference. With DD I was at Uni and I guess I didn't eat a lot during the day - but I'm sure I ate sufficient when I got home. I did FR with all of them. I have never eaten breakfast. I took a lot more hot baths than showers with DD - nothing else really sticks out to me though??

Anyway I look forward to getting to know you all and learning more

Cheer

Has anyone heard of konjac noodles, also called slim pasta? I saw them in Coles today and it says they're zero carbs and next to no calories. Although I'm not planning on attempting for another 12 months, I'm trying to get a bit of a plan now before ds2 arrives and we're thrown into chaos!!
Just don't want to get all excited about it only to find it sways blue!!

[hopingforsaskia]

No it's a perfectly pink food -- in fact, I have a cupboard full of them. They don't fill you up like traditional pasta, so choose your toppings wisely, but they're great (especially cos I stack on the kgs with normal pasta!)

Are you on our fb page? Seriously, it's fantastic!

[Mum2boys]
