Life seems to have returned to a some-what  normal state!  I did 5 or 6 loads of laundry today…. my  washer has been frozen (it’s in our garage) and I was unable to do puke/diarrhea laundry for 3 days!  My landlord let me use their washer (upstairs) and my husband got mine working so I attacked it with a vengeance!  DD hasn’t gone #2 since 9 this morning so I”m HOPING we are thru with the sickness!!

Today I weighed in. EXACTLY the same.  Not up, Not down. Discouraging after the last 2 months I have held w/in 3 lbs… Allison and I are going to do CORE, starting tomorrow (I have to grocery shop…) and I think it is going to be REALLY hard for me. But that’s ok.. I need SOMETHING to get me on track.

I don’t feel like I”ve been doing bad in the eating OR working-out department…. so this has been quite frustrating to me…

A girlfriend mentioned something that totally rang a bell w/ me… BIRTHCONTROL.  I have been on the mini-pill for (I think..) about 2-3 month. DING!!!!!! That’s got to be it.  I remember reading that it can cause weight gain… probably the only reason I haven’t gained is because I am working so hard to lose.  Now the big dilemma… what to do??? I’m trying to lose weight, so I can get pg and be healthy and w/in my range… but this darn BC is hindering my progress.  So what should I do? Quit BC?? Then I might get pg and then I CAN’T lose weight… Keep on BC and possibly NOT lose weight… A friend suggested an IUD… but I really would like to get pregnant in the next 3-4 months… and it seems silly to get one for such a short time…  I DON”T KNOW… All i know is I desperately want to lose this last 12 lbs before getting pregnant.  I CAN DO IT! And I want to feel good in my pregnancy…

[sigh]

Ok… that’s all for now.  DD is still awake and won’t go down till I’m off the computer! Must say good night.  Back to journaling and accountability HARD CORE… tomorrow! (:

1st it was vomiting Wed night and all day Thursday… today it was diarrhea… ug. I’m done with baby bodily functions exploding all over me! [enough said! I know!]

Ate ok today. Definitely got in ALL my water and then some! And all my fruits and veggies as I had this AWESOME chicken salad for lunch and dinner. Grazed a little too much, but that’s to be expected at the inlaws. Thank goodness they didn’t have sweets (a phenomenon!) around I would have been in BIG TROUBLE!

My knees are absolutely KILLING me. I have an appt to get them and my wrists checked at the beginning of February… I can barely walk upstairs… it’s such a drag.  I hope it’s not a long term problem.

That’s all for tonight.  I”m exhausted and feel like I haven’t seen dh in days! Good night!
