Really!??

Image
By
So, I HATE New year resolutions, and did not make one this year in regards to weight or anything else really on purpose. I do want to strive to be healthier, physically, spiritually, and emotionally, but I will not make some silly "promise" to myself I know I wont follow through with...lol.  I mean let's be realistic, how often have I ever followed through with it before?....

Anyway, back to my point...

So I stepped on my Wii fit board yesterday, in order to assess the damage done by holiday's etc....Oh I wish I had NOT done that!! 10+ lbs! ?? really!!???

Defeat set in in....and I just felt like eating a HUGE bowl of ice cream and saying screw it!!!.....But, then I realized, I needed to DO something about this. It was not just holiday over indulgence... no this has been creeping up on me the last few months. I blame most of it on TTC and the hormones from the femara and clomid, BUT I also just "let go" and ate myself into oblivion in order to ease the disappointment from another failed cycle or, another miscarriage. I let me emotions rule my decision making and it has obviously not ended well.
so WHAT was I going to do?? fad diets, and cabbage soup crap has done NOTHING for me, neither now nor in the past. Fatkins did nothing but make my poop like oil...and I turned into a "no carb monster" on the south beach...

I decided to start out small and slow. I will track my food, just to see what my intake it looks like as far as calories, and then do small 20 mins yoga/pilaties sets 4 times a week. This could easily just flow like all the rest of the times I tried to do "slow and simple", BUT I added in the dynamic of peer accountability to the mix. By sharing my goals with a few ladies, It gives you a boost to actually DO what you SAY you are going to do. Then add in convenient and easy...There is a plan I can stick to.

I found this APP on my android phone, called "myfitnesspal.com" and added it. I found a way to track all my food intake,l and exercise in one easy place. Not only can I log in what I eat with a simple bar code scanner, but I can also track my fitness, and interact with friends. You can add your friends, and stay connected on my fitness pal, and view one another's diaries, and food logs. This helps you stay accountable each day, and gives some motivation, knowing some friends are in the same boat, and may be struggling like you... encouraging one another in this, is KEY to success. anyway....

What you should know if you are considering a tubal reversal

By
Its been 8 years. 8 years since we took a trip to NC to see DR. Montieth in Chapel Hill. I remember being so excited. I had this picture in my head of how it was going to go during, and after it all. For those of you who don't know, I had my tubes tied in 2009, after the birth of my 3rd, directly following a traumatic still birth. It was a decision made out of fear and trauma, not an informed decision. I ended up having adverse health issues (PTLS) after, and was desperate to find a solution. I stumbled upon a private chat room with others also struggling. Several had gone for a reversal, and seemed to feel so MUCH better after. I had already seen my doctor umpteen times, and they offered no solutions, and insinuated it was "in my head".... I saw all of these ladies posting the day OF surgery saying that they felt relief! I was like, "Yes, this is it!!"... So we saved the 6 Grand, and went and did the reversal. I was PUMPED. I started a blog, YouTube video and F...

Some statistics on Miscarriage

By
Miscarriage Statistics Overall miscarriage risk is 17-22%; risk after gestational sac is visible is 12-15% Miscarriage is one of the most frequent problems in human pregnancy. The most widely accepted definition is that proposed by the World Health Organization in 1977. The incidence among clinical pregnancies  (a pregnancy that is confirmed by both high levels of hCG and ultrasound confirmation of a gestational sac)  is about 12-15%, but including early pregnancy losses it is 17-22%. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11950476 After heartbeat is detected, risk of miscarriage is 9.4% at 6wks; 4.2% at 7wks; 1.5% at 8wks; 0.5% at 9wks To estimate the risk of miscarriage among asymptomatic women after a prenatal visit between 6 and 11 weeks of gestation where proof of fetal viability of a singleton was obtained by office ultrasonography at the same visit. METHODS: Those recruited were 697 asymptomatic women who attended their first antenatal ...

My game plan...

By
So I decided to give myself some goals and things to focus on while I recover from this last loss/ectopic. I will have to wait at least 3 months before we can try again, and let the effects of the methotrexate leave my body, and build up my folic acid levels again.  My plan: I am going to go back to my sugar/gluten free/semi paleo diet. I am going to cut out all caffeine (slowly over the next month) And, also starting working out 5 times a week or more. I plan to use a workout series such as Insanity or P90x. My goal is to lose 30- 50 lbs in the next 6 months. I also plan to start taking my old holistic remedies, like maca, red raspberry leaf and red clover, as  a fertility tonic. I plan to add in doing my castor oil packs, 5x a week consecutively, with two days rest. I also decided to really give taking serrapeptase a try. For those who do not know what serrapeptase is, I will give you a little run down on this nifty little enzyme. Discovered in the early 1970’s, th...
