Well, it's CD1

and normally that would mean we'd be starting the FET cycle tomorrow. However, due to some unexpected expenses in January, we've decided to put it off one month. Fear not, dear readers, we have budgeted and planned to definitely do the cycle at the end of February.

In the mean time I'm going to take advantage of the 4 week hiatus and try to lose a little bit of this excess weight I put on during those three business trips and Christmas. I won't be able to lose it all, but I'll be happy with 7-10lbs. To achieve this I'm going to do my darnedest to get on the treadmill daily or at least every other day. I'm also going to attempt to eat properly which can be hard when my daily commute is upwards of 45-60 minutes each way and I'm tired when I get home. And finally, I'm going to use some supplements which I've heard decent things about. The two listed at the top of this page are the two I'm going to use for the month. I'm also going to buy the book "The Last 15" which is by this doctor. She's a local doctor who specializes in nutrition and wellness and is nutrition "expert" for the local morning tv show. Some will say, pushah, how good is she. However, I've seen her a number of times, and anything I've heard her say has been correct information not nonsense. So, I figured her book may be useful in the long run plus she's an advocate of these supplements.

I know there are going to be some of you who don't believe in supplementation. That's fine and I respect your opinion. But rather than being a dream stealer* (and we've all had these people in our lives) and telling me how bad they are, or I'm wasting my money, I would rather you just encouraged me in my attempt at a healthier lifestyle. Besides hopefully losing some weight, I will be bringing my body to a healthier state to start the FET cycle. Perhaps I'll post updates on what's going on. :)

Wish me luck!!



* A dream stealer is a person from whom negativity emits, and nothing else. A person who voices faults found in every ideal. Existing does not seem a wise basis to determine if announcement is appropriate. This thief will without regard for the, for lack of a better word, feelings of others, opens his or her big mouth and shatter hope, aspiration, and dreams.(http://www.zoratu.com/writings/enemies.html)
