Freaky Coincidences

Hey all! Gosh it feels like forever since I have posted an update into my little world. I joined a website that helps me track my nutrition and fitness (for FREE) and it has helped me lose 4 lbs in ONE WEEK. It gave me my recommended caloric intake based on my weight, height, age. It also gives you recommended fat and carb levels, too. So I can use that tracker to stay within my limits and it has helped tremendously! Plus I'm eating MORE (go figure! Eat more and lose weight). Apparently I wasn't eating enough before.

Anyway, February is coming up. I'm started to get mixed feeling about waiting to TTC because if we got pregnant in February we'd be due in October (almost to the date we found out we were pregnant with the baby we miscarried). October is my favorite month, February is my birth month (so I'd know as a birthday present if I was preggers or not).

So I'm trying hard to stay focused on the task at hand. But I know when O day comes up I'm going to be struggling with, "Should we..?" or "Should we wait..?"

Knowing me, we'll probably BD for the heck of it and see what happens. LOL! I'm so serious. I'm a throw-caution-to-the-wind and do-things-your-own-way type of person for the most part.

I guess I'll just see where I'm at weight-wise. Predicted ovulation is anywhere from February 1-14 (Happy Valentine's Day, hubby!) since my cycles will probably be messed up from the miscarriage. Maybe by the 14th I'll have lost 20 more lbs. That would make me a happy camper because I wanted to lose at LEAST half of my goal before TTC again. It would put me in the lower 160's (pound-wise) which is perfectly acceptable to me!

I'm really long-winded and talkative today. Don't mind me!

Oh thats great Joy!
And I also say GO FOR IT! Everything happens for a reason so if its bound to happen, it will! Why not try!

And talk about coincidence...with my first Pregnancy that ended in a M/C...that baby would have been due 5/28/08 and guess when I found out I was Pregnant with Caiden? Yep 5/28/08 exactly to the day! Took a test that morning and BAM. So I truly believe everything happens for a reason. I wish you the best of luck in TTC!

spark people in great.  it helped me realize just how many calories i was intaking each day and it even helps give you what you worked off if you put in your exercises etc.  i might have to srat using it again once i have Jaedyn which will hopefully be within the next 5 weeks.
