It has been 5 days since I have seen CP. Currently it just feels like he is away for
the week on a business trip. The only
difference so far is that I had to mow the lawn last weekend (not fun people,
not fun). I also stayed busy over the
weekend with friends and the dogs so I’m sure that helped. At least I can look forward to my trip to
Chicago in mid July. CP was just told
yesterday that he will have a trip down to Atlanta for work the week that I am
flying in- I’m hoping that he won’t stay in Atlanta that entire week!
I’m also trying to keep myself busy by getting back in
shape. I’m sure that it is no secret
that I haven’t been exercising much around here. And my eating hasn’t been amazing either. So…while I have all the time in the world to
myself, I will work on myself and my body.
First order of business will be whipping myself into shape
using 30 Day Shred. I have tried to do
this before and have failed to finish (I don’t think that I have ever made it
to Level 3). My first day was Sunday
after I took the dogs for a 45 minute walk and mowed the lawn. The second day I was a bit sore because I
haven’t weight trained in a while….but I pushed through it and felt great
afterwards. Yesterday I tried to talk myself out of it but pushed through that as well. Today I am going to have to fit in my workout during lunch. I am DETERMINED to do it
every day and look at least a bit more toned come mid July before my trip to
see CP.
I don’t even have to mention that getting back into shape
will only be better for any IVF treatments I have in my future.
Second order of business is to eat better. I am already eating more salads with lettuce
and sugar snap peas from our garden. I
currently have a huge bag of swiss chard from our garden in our fridge, just
waiting to be cooked. I also have a bumper crop of yellow wax beans and green pole beans. With all of these
fresh veggies I shouldn’t be hungry for poor food choices because I don’t want
anything to go to waste.
I’ll keep you updated on my progress!

Ughhh why is working out so hard? I always commit to it and then let other stuff take precedence.
I tried the Shred once, too. I didn't get past Level 2, either. Here's hoping you do better than both of our last efforts!
Wait just a minute - you don't get to see your husband until mid-July and then he might not even be there!?!
You must be made of steel, because that would kill me.
I did the Shred last year and between it and monitoring my calories, I lost 10 pounds and looked the best I've ever looked. It sucks. Jillian is mean and within a few days you start to hate her, but it works.
