Almost the New Year...and I'm not going to get on the scale...yet. I've been awful since Thanksgiving and are sure I've put on some pounds again (I can feel it in my clothes). I'm not surprised, just disappointed with myself. Hubby and I are back on track at least for a few days until NYE (which will be another temptation night)...but then back on track until I hopefully get prego (could be as soon as March with the donor! We shall see.

ARGH! Well...I did say this was my challenging time of the year...and it's has been true to form. I have been eating anything and everything it seems...pizza, candy, chips. Luckily its only a 2.3 gain since the last time I weighed in, which was 22 DAYS AGO!!! bad Christine! I also haven't been recording....which I believe is my biggest downfall. I'm having a really hard time making myself stop from choosing the bad choices, versus the good ones. Maybe its because strawberries and other berries are out of season and not around....probably more of the stress right now though. I'm making the committment to record everything from now until Christmas.

We've finally received good news to on the fertility front. Finally was able to get my testing done for the donor egg process....everything came back with a clean bill of health. We found a donor, and put the $$ down...and now are just waiting to hear on insurance approval, which we should hear something in two weeks (more waiting). If all goes well....and we can move forward....we start the process in January/February...Be nice to be pregnant before my 40th birthday.

Julie - haven't had a chance to respond to your email, but thank you for checking in on me, it meant a lot. I hope your holidays are going great. =)

Happy Thursday!

Day 3 of being on track again! So far so good, the scale even showed a loss this morning. Hubby and I went and voted this morning to beat the crowds…then worked at home for an hour, then headed into work (wish the commute was like that everyday!)

This past weekend turned out to be a lot of fun! It was lined up to be a very low key, relaxing weekend (as we have been on a whirlwind for about 3 weeks now)….but as luck would have it, it turned out completely opposite of what we planned. We received company tickets to the Celtics game on Friday, which was highly entertaining as many of the fans were dressed up in their Halloween attire! One man wore this head to toe green spandex thing that even covered his face! Was freaky…but hysterical to watch him dancing…while at the same time didn't leave any imagination to his…well…you know. Then on Saturday I received a call from my boss who told me her teenage children announced to them that seeing the play, "Legally Blonde", just wasn't cool enough for them, and asked us to go instead. That was a GREAT play, definitely a lot of fun….and even my husband loved it. Maybe that’s just what I needed to help get myself out of this funk, and get back on track…because on Sunday that’s exactly what I did.

We are really looking forward to this weekend, as all of hubby's buddies from waaaaay back (some as far back as knowing since grade school) all get together with their families for a Pre-Thanksgiving meal. Its always great food and fun, and everyone gets along fantastically, so it’s a nice extended family. =) It will be challenging staying away from the Apple Crisp….and homemade stuffing….but I think I'm going to give into the fact that I'm going to have some…I just need to have a 1/4 of what I would normally scoop up on my plate! Luckily Gbags and Balance will be there to help me keep on track as well!

Those of you that know me with the fertility issues….still nothing on that front right now….still waiting…and waiting…and waiting. 3 months of waiting now, but hopefully we'll get to have our next round of testing done next week. Finally…than can move forward with the donor egg process.

Have a great Tuesday!

=( Ugh!!!! I just saw that its been a week since I've recorded anything. I have a gain...not that I'm surprised in the least. I could give a laundry list of excuses as to why I "fell off the wagon" and haven't been careful and mindful for almost 3 weeks now...but I won't, because bottom line is, it shouldn't matter what is going on in my life, this journey is to help me deal with those things better, and not resort to food every time. I felt the motivation come back yesterday, and prepared food for the week for hubby and I. I believe I'm back on track again and moving forward to reaching my goal...maybe for New Years? Dunno...I hope so! I'm also going to start reading/getting caught up on my buddies journals, and supporting them as well. Sorry buddies! I've been on another planet lately...but I'm back!
