Week 12
Well, I weighed in a little late. I got busy Easter Sunday and forgot. So, i'm weighing in on Tuesday. I think .6 loss is pretty good considering all the crap I ate this weekend. I let myself kind of indulge. I've got to run off to work this morning so i'll post later but I just wanted to include that update.

10 pounds lost!!!
Woo hoo!! It seems like it's going so slow but I can't remember the last time i've actually lost 10 pounds. I am so proud of myself. It's cool to actually see results. I don't really see much result from week to week but when you add it up it does show progress. I know I still have a long way to go but it's a start and I feel like i'm learning a lot.
I did really well this week. I was a little slow starting working out but I eventually picked it up and worked hard. I look forward to the weather getting better so I can actually walk outside. It will be nice when Bobby and I can go on our walks again through the park. I really enjoyed those times. I do like the consistency of the elliptical though. I can set my time and keep my speed constant. I also like that I can listen to music and read my kindle. I've been going for 45 minutes a day, 5 days a week. I'm going to keep increasing so next week i'll go 50 minutes a day.
Not much has happened with the other part of this journey. We were talking the other day about when I should go to talk to my doctor about fertility. I think i'm going to wait until July when i'm do for my annual check up anyway. I'd like to go earlier but I heard a story about a woman who lost a baby and had to have a c-section too. She got pregnant again and her rainbow baby burrowed through her scar in her uterus and was growing in a bubble outside of her uterus. She had to have an emergency hysterectomy. That is like my worst nightmare. I really want to have a baby but I don't want to push it too soon. I want to lose more weight and I want to heal as much as possible.
I still have small hope that I will get pregnant on our own but not much. We are doing all we can but I'm sure it will take some outside help from a doctor. I'm thinking of going to get an ovulation prediction kit for next month. My period should start today or tomorrow so I guess i'd better go sometime to get it. We will see if that helps me see my ovulation. The temperature thing just isn't working out for me.
