First goal: To lose five pounds by August 1.
A lofty goal on a small frame like mine, but it will be a big difference on my body. I have spent too much of the past three weeks eating restaurant food and not enough time in the gym.
So: Working out at least four times each week, ideally five. Cutting out all sweets (except Brian’s birthday dessert), and reducing all animal fats.
That’s literally all I have to do. If I remember how simple it is, it won’t be as daunting.
Another goal during this time period: Write five more chapters in the book. About 20,000 more words (I am now over 40,000 words). This too can be done, with perseverence.
Third goal this month: Have a ridiculous amount of crazy sex with husband for the next fourteen days. This one is easily achieved. I hope. It’s up to him to avoid late Friday nights at work, which actually have been happening less often of late.
I know you all wanted to know that last one.
Jesse is reading your book right now….
Yay! Did you get chapter 10 by any chance?
TTC assvice…
Hello- we don’t know each other, but I stumbled across your journal like a year ago, and have been following & hoping you get pregnant soon! one little tiny thing that could help, is having your hubby get a semen analysis, if he’s got good numbers, then trying to have sex every other day might actually be better than daily. basically, if you empty his reserves daily, he might not be able to provide you with quality swimmers when it comes time for your egg to actually be fertilized. many would even recommend having him empty about 48 hours before you are thinking ovulation will occur, so that you get a really good batch of sperm to meet the egg. also, probably not what you want to hear, but i had a hell of a time getting pregnant, and ended up getting pregnant the first try with 50mg clomid days 3-7 (it’s a pill.) that was our 10th cycle, and my doc said even though i was ovulating normally, my eggs were just weak or something. good luck, rooting for you!
Re: TTC assvice…
Thank you! That is good advice. I did wonder about spermal quality. Brian has actually impregnated someone in his past and he is only 29 (and I have been pregnant before, too), so at this point I think it’s just wonky luck. I hope. I am a little nervous about the clomid just yet since I do not want TWINS. But I guess they would examine my follicles first.
