Balancing at Cycle Day 11

It’s been all about yard work for the past three days.  We have created hedges in the back yard, planted three trees, laid brick around the hedges, planted a new perennial tree in the front yard, potted a perennial daisy, and planted a green pepper plant.  The yard is taking such shape!  I think if I even hint that I am thinking about buying another plant, Justin just might shoot me!

My weight has been quite interesting, and I am striving for some balance with it.  When I exercise, I gain weight.  Yes, I am well aware that muscles are built, and weigh more than fat.  However, it’s quite drastic.  I can’t find the right caloric intake to balance hunger, and weight stabilization.  It’s beyond frustrating.  I miss my p.hentermine.  Losing weight was so much easier when I was on it.  Lately, it’s one step forward, two steps back.  My fingers are crossed that I find the magic formula soon.

I’ve been using opks this cycle, but haven’t seen two lines just yet.  I’m not expecting it until around day 15 or 16, but now without the septum, I’m not sure when it will occur.  Once it does, I need to call and schedule a progesterone check with Dr. Local. 

Tonight we had my parents over to our house for a change.  I cooked some chicken in a southwestern simmering sauce, green beans, and some potatoes (of which I passed on,) and even made a dessert that was low carb.

Tomorrow is going to be so much fun!  My friend and amazing neighbor K, her beyond adorable daughter Little K (age 2), I are all heading over to my parents’ house to lounge by the pool, swim, and eat dinner together.  Justin will be meeting us there after work.  So fun!  So, aside from having a blast in the swimming in the pool (which is now up to 83/84 degrees) and enjoying the comfy lounge chairs, we’re going to have smoked baby back ribs for dinner.  Mmmmm….so yummy!

So, I’ll be absent tomorrow in this little paradise….

It has plenty of shade.

Plenty of room to roam around the pool.

And some of the comfiest lounge chairs around!

(The above picture was last summer, and I have lost a hard earned 35 pounds since!)

So, who’s going to join us?  Any takers?  We’ve got room!
