I'm trying to find myself again....I think I have gotten a wee bit lost in my TTC journey.
I am now giving myself 20 minutes of time in the morning and evening to focus on myself. I'm also making body movement a priority.
What are you up to?
-
I found Fitness Blender this morning. I like it:
-
Being healthy, prepping my body for pregnancy and childbirth, focus on my relationship with DH and enjoy every moment while it's just the 2 of us!
-
I am taking back control of my body as well! TTC has led to some weight gain, and laziness due to my mood. My sis and I just joined a gym last week and are starting to practice yoga (love it), and I am really focusing on my diet and eating PCOS healthy foods. I hope to see results soon!
-
I'm focusing on planning Liam's second birthday, decorating the room that was going to be the new nursery (as an office/craft room), refocusing on work and getting all my papers graded in a timely matter, and of course, on nurturing my relationships with my husband and son.
-
Lose my post wedding pudge (2 years in the making). Competing in the biggest loser at work is definitely helping! Renovating the spare bedroom (which will eventually become nursery/kiddo room). Hopefully we will also be doing a big overhaul of our kitchen/east side of our house soon. A lot of planning to do for that, so would be a big distraction lol.
-
Getting healthy!
I need to start losing weight: move more, eat more whole foods and less junk, etc.
Its so hard when I get sad every month that I am not KU, and want to sit around and be lazy or eat something comforting. I found out I was miscarrying on the same day I worked out in the morning, so that makes me nervous to go anywhere near the gym during the TWW.
I am a basket of TTC crazy.
-
I'm also on the losing weight bandwagon, but there's only so much I can focus on that without making myself unnecessarily obsessed!
I'm trying to rekindle my interest in some hobbies (sewing/quilting especially), but my sewing room is in my basement and it's so cold there!
Mostly I'm just trying to make myself do at least one thing a day that I can feel proud I accomplished (cleaning, reorganizing, crafting, whatever).
-
Eating healthier and getting into a fitness routine for sure. Also working on my marriage and spending time with my hubby before we (hopefully) turn into a family if 3.
I'm also having fun decorating/renovating our new-ish house. -
I am also focusing on some projects around the house. I think that it really helps to keep my mind and body busy. The spare bedroom/office/future nursery is my current project. I'm moving our current office (future nursery) to the extra spare bedroom upstairs so I have an awesome tutoring/voice lesson space for my students. It's fun to reorganize, also a TON of work. But since the future nursery will soon be empty, I'm wondering if I will just jinx things if I start planning ahead and paint the room while it's empty...
-
Great thread! I want to start working out, but I've been sick, so I am trying to get tons of sleep and organizing the house.
-
@AmeliaBedilia: From your other thread post, I take it being sick was probably what ended up keeping your temps high.
hopefully your other distractions will help you through the coming cycle! Sounds like a lot of us have similar goals, I would love it if we could try to check in one here from time to time and try to hold each other accountable for those goals.
As for me: I'll be working out tonight, and doing some more organizing around the house! I must keep it going!
-
@sarahnicole218: we have a future nursery too and i wont touch it because of that. I even panicked a bit when DH said he was going to clear out all the junk in it haha!
I currently have an essay to do so that should keep me busy except I havent started it.... I am trying to finish of 1 room in the house every month though. -
@Crystal: I "rationalize" like this, too--"Oh, I ate these foods and did these exercises and did this yoga position when I was pregnant and miscarried....so in every TWW I shouldn't eat/do any of those things." It's so hard to know that it's illogical and not be able to help it!!! Thinking of you, lady.
-
I've started running again, going on a cruise for our anniversary next week, taking a step back from the boards for a few days here and there.
-
I'm going to Italy next month. Holy Geeze. I will also be able to look back in 2015 and say that I graduated with my Master's degree...So I guess that isn't so shabby, huh?
hopefully your other distractions will help you through the coming cycle! Reply
