Well this has definitely been a confusing cycle. I really don't think that the charting website is correct, but instead feel like ovulation was last weekend. Either Saturday or Sunday to be precise (right as predicted by me on CD23 or 24). My signs point to ewcm, cm position and temperatures. I had consistant (and higher yay!) temperatures up until this week when I spiked. This morning I actually spiked higher than I ever have previously with 36.44C! Go me!
I am finding that I am much more calm this cycle. I am not over anlayzing every twinge or symptom. I had a professional course to prepare for and am happy to report that it took my mind off of babies for a few days. I am even happier to report that I passed my exam and produced a 22 page paper! Who knew I could write so much about Planning Theory and the History of Town Planning? One step complete, two more to challenge.
As for my progress, I have been counting calories again and trying to stay on track with food by using the website myfitnesspal.com. It's also an app on my iphone, which is extremely handy. My food goals are right on track this week, but no weight loss. I've also been taking a spin class on Mondays and doing relaxation yoga on Tuesdays at lunch hour. My good intentions are to run on the treadmill at work, but I haven't yet actually gotten back into running. I hope to get there soon. For now I'm still a bit sluggish and am proud to be doing what I can. (Even though the scale hates me and I'm up a total of about 10lbs from my lowest weight *cry*) I will try to remember where I came from and that a total loss of 75lbs is still a win!
What I have taken from my experience last cycle is this. I have learned to let this experience come as it may. I cannot control this part of my life (or my body for that matter!) and I am stronger because of what I've gone through. I am at peace and am moving forward.
