I would only do it if YOU think it matters. If not, I’m not going to worry about it!! You’ve seen enough to know what works and what doesn’t!

Hi!! My cycle still hasn’t returned and so last month I decided to drop a few lbs and retry in a few months. Youngest turns 1 next month! At the moment just cutting snacks and sticking to lots of veggies and lean protein. Keeping up with supplements, weights, lots of tea and testing w opk daily so no oopsies!
Thanks for checking in how are you doing?

Oooh can I join you here?
Swaying blue next year after 4 girls (2 sways that failed) so this is my last last laaaast chance at a son ever unless I somehow convince DH to go for IVF
Any ideas of high animal fat/protein/ nutrient dense things that can be made in advance/batches that the whole fam might like?
Xx

Thank you!
Yum indeed … :P it’s winter here so it’s easier to get these meals going
DD3 - I did a proper sway but obviously didn’t work and with DD4, she was basically an oops so no real swaying (though I had started exercice and diet towards proper swaying a few months later).. but because we weren’t TTC it was a DTD daaayys before ovulation and only once (rest was protected) and jump and dump so all in all girl friendly :P

I can’t wait to go back eating more HE! All those meals sound so good, plus snacking. Right now I am cutting so just having oats/ gelatin in the morning then only beans and vegetables for lunch and dinner and tea w milk throughout the day. I’m being suuuuuuper careful checking w opk’s and also nursing as much as I can to keep cycle away. The nice thing is all those muscles I put on are actually getting visible! Are you starting HE soon?

That sounds a bit tough for sure - did you need to cut that much ?
I know there is a science to it but is the idea to lose weight (fat) to then gain muscle after? Be keen to know more if you don't mind sharing!
I have considered a body recomp process but I am just so darn sleep deprived that with FT work as well, it seems completely unrealistic at this stage - maybe in a few months once hopefully I sleep a bit again haha
The idea is to do HE soon (say 3-4m), but gradually making changes towards in the meantime. I almost drink no more coffee and have a tea or two with milk every day... starting some supps (iron as am low, probiotics then will add multi)
Will start HIIT sessions soon, 2 times/w at this stage if I can increase I will but working on keeping weight steady BUT getting stronger/more muscular

We are doing well. Our dd3 just turned one. I'm not doing anything crazy HE but we are just making our life more blue friendly in general. I've completely cut out coffee for tea and feel so good I wonder why I was so hesitant to switch
also cooking with more "real" nutritious foods and exercising.
DH is no longer deploying so we won't have the "return from war" blue vibes so we are making adjustments to hopefully be as blue friendly as possible by the end of the year
You sound so much like me..when I go off coffee, I'm like why don't I always skip it?? I feel more clear headed without actually lol
Yay for DH not deploying, means more time together too ^^ when are you aiming at starting TTC?
Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
Back again: blue sway planning
