Bambinolla - I always consider CD1 the next day if I start in the evening... but I use a CBFM and it kinda makes me do that LOL so not sure if that is what everyone does. Regardless, if you count CD1 as the actual or second day doesn't really matter, as long as you are consistent.

We are trying in April too! End of April it looks like... my cycles are all wacky from the Vitex so I'm not really sure when it will be :/

Drama, so TRUE about the spicy - I've been really ramping it up lately - and those muffins DO sound good... and omg some of you girls are so much smaller than me I am happy with the 4 lbs I have lost but I am 5'4" and 130lb! eek! But then again, if I conceived today, it would still be my lowest conception weight!

Wow! That sounds amazing! I love baked goods! I have been eating this corn pasta from trader joes that has less protein and nutrients than regular pasta and is pretty good. In the sweets note, I was trying to maintain my weight at 93 so eating a bunch of candy and cake and I guess swung the other way and gained a lb. should I just keep the other calories the same and lay off the cake and candy to go back down the one lb before I hopefully O? I start the Clomid in 2 days. Thanks girls!

[amari]

Oh, I always consider it just the day it starts fwiw!

[Ribbons]

amari, I saw that corn pasta the other day and was wondering what it tasted like... is it any good??

I eat the brown rice pasta right now but maybe the corn pasta would be less nutritious...

LOL sometimes I laugh at the way we talk... I am typically a health fanatic and my pre-sway self would cringe at the thought of buying something because it was LESS nutritious!

[amari]

I think the corn pasta is pretty good! I know, I'm usually a health nut, aside from my sweets that is, so looking for the least nutrient rich thing is totally bizarre. My body is getting quite sick of it and I am sick of not snacking so I really hope I get pg this cycle. I'm also sick of not having a normal social life. Friends are visiting next wknd and she's talking about bring wine, snacks, ordering out good etc, and I'm thinking that sounds so fun but I can't and how am I going to get around it all at the same time? Aahhh. We put this on ourselves I know... But still.

Amari, that's how I feel. I hope and wish I get a BFP this month. Ready to eat more normal lol

[Ribbons]

Ugh me too but I don't try until late April! So 6 more weeks for me!

[bambinolla]

Last night I dreamt that I went out to a restaurant with friends, and with best intentions ordered a dry salad... and then proceeded to eat my husband's steak and fries and ordered two desserts! Agh! What a nightmare LOL, I was so glad to wake up and find it wasn't real!

DH is out of town, so I don't have to cook for everyone tonight.

Today I am having:
Right Now: coffee with cinnamon and half&half (this is really tasty and cinammon helps with blood sugar, bonus)
1st Meal: 2oz FF ricotta with cocoa and brandy, 4oz LF yogurt with 1 tsp jam
2nd Meal: homemade bean burger with 1 tbsp FF sour cream and 2 tbsp homemade fruit salsa (tomatoes, peaches, cucumber, cilantro, cumin, chili powder)
Dinner: shirataki noodles (those no-cal fiber-based ones) with a rice vinegar dressing, and a salad. another 4oz yogurt

Cals: 1127 / Fat 34 / Carb 164 / Protein 40 / Sodium 888 / Potassium 2741

I am going low on my cals today b/c we are going out with friends on Thursday night... omg I hope my dream does not come true!
