C25K - Check in

Time for a check in...

i weighed in this afternoon at 77.9kg

measurements were:

B- 95.5, W-103 and T-115.5cm

Good news - today i fit into my favourite jeans - size 12! woo! they were comfy but on the snug side.. my intention is to fit into them just comfy - no snugness..

my goal was to lose 0.5kg a month.. so far i am on track... i have 2 more days to meet my 77.7 goal for January..

wish me luck.. i am sitting here doing my check in wearing my running gear.. but waiting for the breeze to come in - currently its around 40 degrees outside.. too hot to run just yet.. perhaps in an hour..

i have been quiet good and am due to run my final run for week 3...

see you next time..

go me...

today i did a little jig.. yes a real jig... not a good one but a jig none the less.. why? because i weighed in (even though i said i wasn't going to be ruled by the scales) and i have lost 1.6 kg so far this month.. well on track with my goal of loosing 0.5 kg a week..

i am awesome!

a new cycle

and so today begins a new cycle... grrr.....

C25K - Check in

So after my week long haiatus, i started keep three last night, skipping over week two in the program.

So i thought i'd check in.. as i feel remarkably well considering i went about 15 km in an hour.. i didn't run all the way but didn't feel like i was going to die at the end of it either!

i weighed in this morning at 78.5kg

measurements were:

B- 96, W-103.8 and T-116cm

pleased to see the waist and thigh measurements going down... especially considering George is nearly due!

will forge on!

FAIL!!!

pox pox pox...

so i couldn't help myself and i took a test just now.. FAIL!!

that sucks... sucks because its another month in our lives without hope and sucks because by the weekend george should arrive... what about all my phantom symptoms - where they just that? phantom? why is the body so cruel as to give phantom symptoms? so then oh fascinating human body - why to i have a head ache now.. right this minute? grrr i hate you..

*sigh*

im off for a run and will be back for a check in tomorrow...

C25K - Check in

not quiet a check in.. i have been very lazy... reason being the ridiculous heat wave we have been experiencing this past week... today however was cool enough to facilitate another run.. so off i went with the puppies..

i have also signed up for a 2 week program called "drop a dress size" which involves 2 bootcamps a week and 2 sessions of personal training a week.. i will be starting this crazyness on the 1st feb.. im scared.. though im hoping i will actually drop a dress size!

as i said im all about the measurements that than the kilos now!

wish me luck!

I feel so damn incompetent...

so as i said.. i took a test on monday and got a big fat negative...

yesterday - tuesday - hubby asked me when i was going to take a test and i told him i took one on monday and there was nothing to report.. he was soooooo disappointed... and all i could say was sorry.. i feel so terrible... if it wasn't for my poxy bloody, he would have had his baby girl by now...

I really don't know what to think about my phantom symptoms.. i often think to myself... when did my life change and start to revolve around getting pregnant.. its like it just happened without me noticing...

alas.. like every month i am hoping as much as i can that george wont show up this weekend.. unfortunately only time will tell..*sigh*

...

so i took a test when i got home from work... one red line - damn it! (sorry)

Phantom Symptoms??

I know I ovulated last Monday.. thus implantation – if it’s happened should have happened by now – I think. I have had some strange symptoms for the last few days..

Friday night – I had a headache.. I haven’t had one since I was last pregnant.. also I was drinking a beer which tasted funny to me but normal to hubby.. then when we went to dinner, something I ate tasted funny to me but again normal to everyone else… this taste thing is not something I’ve experienced before

Saturday – I took a hpt in the morning to make check – knowing it was too early but hoping to see a sign.. anyways a big fat negative…

Sunday – I was really really really tired.. like I couldn’t even hold my head up so I napped for an hour from 4pm to 5pm!

Monday (today) – I have a niggling headache.. but our air conditioner at work is not working and it’s a 40+ day outside… so it could be that.. I also just had what I could only describe as a hot flush..

Of course every time I google symptoms of pregnancy these things keep coming up… im so sick of not seeing the two red lines on the hpt’s that I don’t want to get my hopes up.. so for now they are phantom signs…

I am still deciding if I should take the HPT tonight or not.. according to the instructions I have a 70% chance of seeing something today and 80% if I wait til tomorrow! And of course 93% if I wait til the following day.. question is, can I hold out on testing or would I rather go through the heartache of seeing one red line… hmm…

on the baby front..

last night we went out to dinner and i had quiet a bad niggling headache.. i havent had a headache in ages.. i said that to hubby who responded with "since you were last pregnant" with an element of hope in his voice.... i must say i had pretty much the same thought... so i woke up this morning and took a hpt and got nought! i am probably a bit early on the testing front but i thought maybe if im getting the headaches... then maybe just maybe i would see the two lines i so long for!

will test again next weekend - george is due sunday so fingers crossed!

ARGH...

I think in my last post i decided that i will be doing measurements now instead of numbers.. i've decided this based on the fact that all my clothes that i want to fit back into require my measurements to be a certain number rather that my weight being a certain number.. fortunately i was keeping measurements too since the start of the year..

measurements at the start of the year were

B - 95, W - 104.5, T - 120

most recent measurements (14/1) were

B - 96.5, W - 104.5, T - 116.5

My T measurement its the one i would really like to see changes.. and i hope the running program is going to contribute to this!

Speaking of which, I am meant to be doing just that right now... yesterday was my running day but instead i took my puppy to the vet and went out to Tapas for hubbys bday celebrations.. alas..

i shall endeavour to go shortly - but i would have to get out of my pyjamas and its saturday morning.... :}

waiting...

waiting for implantation...

assuming fertilisation...

sick of waiting...

nothing further to report...

it's that time again

so we went into this month not really trying.. well trying without over doing it and focusing too hard.. i'm sure anyone who's in the same head space as us would be aware of what i'm trying to say here..

I am pretty certain I ovulated in the early hours of this morning.. now the only question is - were there any swimmers present at the time of ovulation.. i guess only time will tell.. 9 days until I can test.. oh how i hope to see two lines!

Other baby discussions this week centered around the possibility of adoption or even surrogacy.. both options are viable to us however both options are time consuming and expensive.. don't get me wrong having cashew and being in the care of a maternofetal specialist is likely to be expensive but i'm not sure how the costs compare. I am pleased that we are both on the same page with regard to using these methods to expand our family even though the discussion is perhaps a little bit premature!

I'm off to run now people.. C25K is going well.. i am however reconsidering the weekly weight measurements in lieu of body measurements... wish me luck!

it's that time again

*baby dance**baby dance**baby dance*

C25K - Check in

So my motivation this week has not been lacking.. in fact my eating habits have changed dramatically and for the better! Unfortunately my exercising has not been as good as i'd like. Still I did exercise and I think the combination of the two changes has made a difference..

So the results..

78.5kg

BMI - 29.5

C25K

In an effort to loose my baby weight from my last pregnancy and hopefully contribute to being a healthy weight and fall pregnant again.. i have decided to start a program called C25K - Couch to 5 km.. apparently in 9 weeks i should be able to walk 5 km if i do this program in its entirety! I started doing this program before my last pregnancy and i quiet enjoyed it..

So this is my new years resolution.. i figure if i put it on here and its in a public forum then I am compelled to keep up the work..

I did a 3 km walk with the puppies this afternoon - eased myself in.. i will start running tomorrow..

My current weight is 79.7kg - my goal weight is 72kg.. i am going to weigh in and measure once a week.. BMI - 30

Stay tuned...
