I feel like I'm eating all day long. And it's not because I'm hungry, either . It's funny, I feel like I'm eating too much at 1675 calories, can you imagine how I felt the first week when CK told me I should be eating 2000! With establishing a regular exercise routine it's hard to eat back all my calories. I mean, I know I could eat a cookies (which I did last night ) or some other high calorie food. But higher calories almost always means higher fat, which makes it hard to keep my diary in balance between carbs, fats, and protein. At this point, I'm eating way more than I am comfortable with, even being a big girl like me. Maybe I just have to get used to the plan. I was probably undereating before CK and when I did eat, I made poor high calorie high fat choices. It's rather ironic, don't you think, that you have to eat to lose weight .

I am glad though, that I'm beginning to move more. In fact, I am beginning to look forward to exercising. We went to the pool today and I swam 15 laps and I felt really good. We'll go again tomorrow. I've decided that it easier for me to exercise Monday - Friday and take the weekends off (aside from house cleaning and brief walks). We typically do all our exercise at night....I wonder if that is a problem? We're not morning people and if we set a schedule like that, I know we wouldn't keep it up. So, I suppose doing it when we can in the evenings, is better than setting goals for the a.m. that we can't meet.

I have an appointment at the Fertility clinic on March 4. I looking forward to it, we both believe that should be our next step. We've both prayed and feel confirmed in our spirits that this is good. I'm sure they will probably try minor intervention first, like Clomid. Has anybody tried this drug? What can I expect?
