So this week I am being tested in more ways then 1. I am being tested with food temptations and unfortunately they got the best of me. We went out to eat way too much this past week. I went back to my "we deserve it" mentality. UGH! Really?
Last week was hard and one of the things that my husband remembered it that it was one year ago I found out I was pregnant for the first time. So hard to remember that. And here we are this week finding out test results from the fertility testing I am doing.
We went to the Dr. on Monday to get the results to all the blood they took out of me. The good news is it all came back normal. The bad news is that means more testing. They took more blood out of me (only 2 vials instead of the 12 from before), I have to have a 3 hr glucose test done on Sept. 13, and I will most like have to have an endometrial biopsy done where they biopsy my uterus. I may not be producing enough hormones to support a pregnancy and this will help determine if that may be the case. On top of all that I need to take my basal temp every day for who knows how long. I have to record the temp and everything else personal that goes along with it. (if you really want to know you can go to fertilityfriend.com and look it up.)
Anyways, back to my reality of my weight. I gained a half a pound this week. I am both proud of my self and of course dissapointed in my self. I ate way too much but I did walk A LOT! I have been greatful to have some parents in a playgroup I am in my the little boy I take care of come on walks with me last week. I really appreciate everyones support!
Next week is my birthday week (Aug 23) and I will be taking a much needed vacation with my hubby! We havent been away alone since our honeymoon and it is much needed. A friend from church is letting us stay in her house in Maine. I am so thankful for this blessing as well. If she wasn't able to let us stay then this vacation wouldn't be happening with Bobby's layoff. The great thing is we can go grocery shopping and be in very much control of our food intake. My goal is for this to be the first vacation I come back weighing less then when I got there. We will be going for lots of nice walks and exercise together. I can't wait! I am not sure if I will have internet connection or not so most likely there will be no blog post next week unless there is. But when I get back I hope to have a positive blog post with pictures of our getaway!
it's hard not to go back to that mentality.. i struggle with going to ice cream everytime I lose weight. its a life long battle i think. good work.
