Hey everyone...


I haven't posted in a very long time, but have been checking in on everyone

I've been going through a rough time...we just went through our 10th IVF...and it didn't work again. We just don't know what to do anymore The thought of living my life without being a mom, without ever being pregnant, without giving birth to my child, sucks the breath right out of me.

So, my eating habits have been back and forth. Somehow, I've still actually lost a few pounds, and have no clue how...some days I am on track, and some days I can't control myself. It's a big see saw.

Sorry for this downer post...hope to be here more often, and get things under control.

XOXO
Lisa

Sassilee girl it sounds like you have been through sooooo very much. Hang in there and try and work on just getting balance back...I am sure your emotions and hormones are all over the map. Getting the food settled will at least limit some noise inside.
Keep posting and stick close, we'll support you.

Re: TGIF 12/21 Roll Call

Ok, happy Friday, all!

Today I will say NO. NO to all of the tempting goodies that are going to be in my classroom and the staff lounge on this last day of school before vacation. NO.

I have a lovely lunch packed, with lots of things to nosh on during the day if I want them. I've got tea and a baggie of cocoa powder and splenda if I want to make hot chocolate. That's all I need.

Because I'm saying NO. today. Just today. Join me?

**********
Sassi - oh, hon, I feel for ya. Just hang in there. Working too hard at trying is stressful enough to whack out your body even more than the stuff they are putting into you to get you pregnant! (Easier said than done, I know.....) My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Re: TGIF 12/21 Roll Call

Morning everyone,

I finally received my replacement scale and it has me weighing 2 pounds more (same model) so that must be due to TOM. I usually don't gain weight with TOM but this time I have such bad cramps it's killing me. At least I'l be off work for the next week and a half and can relax!

Re: TGIF 12/21 Roll Call

I'm saying NO again today. NO to the donuts that are EVERYWHERE this morning.

Today I am going to honor the commitment I've made to myself to eat low carb. It makes me feel so much better. So much stronger.

Spirittalker--there's your reward for being strong the other day. Congrats!

I'm a little nervous about all the FOOD and PEOPLE that will be tempting me over the next few days. Well, let's be honest...I'm scared spitless! Plan, Plan, Plan to eat on plan through it all. And, in the meantime, TODAY I'm saying NO.

Re: TGIF 12/21 Roll Call

good morning everyone.
Remember Miracles happen.
I slow jogged for 20 mins last night in the cold.
I had not exercised in weeks. So it was a great feeling.
Make sure you exercise , its the best.

Re: TGIF 12/21 Roll Call

Hi everyone!

Lisa - my heart goes out to you. What a heartbreaker - but keep trying whatever it takes - that miracle child will come to you!

UPS just delivered a new workout video for me with is the 10 minute solution for belly fat. I hooked up my other 10 minute solution one yesterday and did the "boot camp" - 10 minutes and my arms and legs STILL hurt! But I'm putting it back in today followed by some ab blasting.

My husband brought out some pictures of years gone by - 1 of them was me about 8 lbs lighter than right now and stuff fit - but the belly was jelly from lack of exercise! So I am planning on really working my abs to death until they smooth out. No sense in being skinny if I still have to hide it all - even at my own pool

Today I work on cleaning the house some - getting out the decorations and all that stuff. Washing all the sheets now for everyone who is coming. Good thing about the kids being home is they can help And since they want to make the gingerbread men cookie stuff I got them yesterday they have incentive!!

So off to finish off some laundry - get the sheets in - eat a flax muffin - drink more coffee.... and somewhere in there squeeze in 20 minutes for a work out!! Oh yeah - and I need to plan dinner.....

Re: TGIF 12/21 Roll Call

Good morning all!

Lisa - You're in my thoughts. I had a good friend who did IVF and when it didn't work, turned to accupuncture to relieve some stress and help aid in fertility. After a couple of rounds, they were preggo - Miracle can happen and I'm praying you'll see one soon!

As for me, still weighing in at 115.5. OY... I have BOSU conditioning class this morning - looking forward to sweating my arse off.

I didn't sleep well last night. My mom is having a rough time right now taking care of my Gramma (who's 92 and just fractured her pelvis) and my Dad, who has Alzheimer's. I felt to guilty and sad after talking to her last night. I also spoke to my Dad, who didn't sound very good. I don't know if he really knew he was talking to me - breaks my heart. Makes me even more determined to keep my body and mind healthy (my Dad's dad, and his sister also had/have Alzheimer's) I worry about which ones out of my brothers and sisters will end up with it. Gee, aren't I really a weenie today??

Thanks for the vent - I hope you all have a great Friday!!!!

Checking in for accounting again today...my thoughts go out to all here who are experiencing difficult times.


a bit of a whoosh this morning but TOM is lurking around the corner so keeping my perspective.

Re: TGIF 12/21 Roll Call
