Before & During pregnancy

-This will be my journal for my journey on getting pregnant. I plan on working out hard, and eating clean, staying lean & muscular.
-Also my journal on Doctor's notes, and keeping track of my AF, etc. SO Guys beware.

I have been doing a lot of cardio- because I enjoy it, and it relieves a lot of stress. And I definalty don't want to be stressed out in the next few months.

My goals:
(well we Know the number one goal..hehe to get pregnant)

- eat lots of veggies, and a small piece of fruit everyday. (Strawberries or green apples, or red grapes)
- do cardio 4-5 times a week for more than 35 minutes (

no prob)
- Weights 4 times a week (or more)
-limit sugar intake!!!!
-take my vitamins EVERY day
-limit caffeine (I usually don't have much though- haven't had a diet coke in 2 weeks. But I do drink one cup a coffee maybe twice a week)

And my journey begins...

Posted by: naturaltan

your own office ... that would be pretty cool!

and a car allowance? Does that mean you can rent/lease/buy a car or just use your car with the company paying you a certain amount?

Posted by: Stacey

Hey NT! I know how great would my own office be!!! Yes- They MIGHT be giving me a car allowance -- I would have to buy a new car. (Or used with in 2 years old) I signed a form saying that "IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A 4 door car/suv, or if it is not with in two years old, you must purchase one within 60 days of employment"

Sooo I would have to, I have a 2001 camaro! But its okay, I was planning on getting rid of it one day anyway.

Posted by: Stacey

Still no AF! I was suppose to get her between Feb. 19th and the 22nd. I posted a question on a pregnancy forum.. to see if any girls went through this after getting off the pill. I did read online that some women do not start for over a YEAR after getting off the pill--and that means, no ovulating. I hope I start soon.

Posted by: JLB001

I'm good. Kinda sleepy today. LOL

Posted by: Stacey

Me tooooo! I just took a green tea tablet though- it helped a little. I miss my effedrine SOOO Much-- my cravings have been out of whack lately

And I'm sleeeeeepy!!!!!

Posted by: Jenny

Hey Stace

Wow, I have a LOT to catch up on!

I'm sorry I haven't been visitining you much lately!
Applying for a new job? That's great sweetie, I really hope it works out! Your looks definately help

I'd buy a house from you any day!

My period has been all out of whack since I stopped BC too. This month I don't think I'm getting it. I got off them in September and I'm still not back to normal

I had been on them for 5 years, so it takes a while to get the hormones working right again. Did you take a pregnancy test?

Have a great day sweetie

Posted by: jstar

Hi Stacey

I am SOOO EXCITED for you hun! I hope you get this new job. Will you be a realtor? (Sorry if I missed that

) I will keep my fingers crossed for you!

I am sure you will have a baby soon. It might take a little bit to get the BC pills out of your system but I am sure it will happen for you

Just keep tryin'

I'll be watching with anticipation! *HUGS*

Posted by: Stacey

HEY JENNY!!! Ohhh honey, I know your busy, don't ever apologize!!!! I'm so excited for you and Justin!!!!

Really, your period is messed up too. When did you get off the pill??
Thanks for the info-thats what I have been reading lately--just super curious, ya know.

yes- my doctor took a blood test on me last Wednesday to make sure I wasn't preggo-- And it came back negative.

Hope you have a fabulous time with Justin-- Oh and I'm sending you something in the mail

Posted by: greekblondechic

Why did you stop ephedrine Stacey?

Posted by: Stacey

umm--oops I thought I had your address Jenny, can you PM me with it please?!! thank you!!

Posted by: Stacey

Greekie--
Because I want to get pregnant soon, and I figured I should get off of it NOW--and get use to it now, rather than get off of it when I'm pregnant, and then be stressed b/c I can't have it..ya know?? I didn't take much anyway- maybe 2 (dietfuels) a day--my heart can't handle it also.

Posted by: greekblondechic

oh good idea! I didnt think of that!

I might start using ephedrine as summer gets closer..I don't fit into a lot of my cute summer stuff and it bothers me..a lot..

Posted by: Stacey

I hear ya honey, all my summer shorts & stuff is kinda tight too--

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Stacey, good luck on the the next process of the job. I hope you get it.

Secondly, good luck with getting pregnant. I think you are on the right track with the new diet and limiting the caffeine and keeping up with your cardio. They say the less stress you can inflict on your body, the better your chances of keeping your cycle and ovulation in check and getting pregnant. I can see that you have a clear goal and you are set to begin working on it.

I'll keep you in my prayers honey. Have a great day!

Posted by: Stacey

awww FG--can you be anymore SWEETER??!!!!!! You are soo soo kind--thank you so much! I am trying to watch everything--eat a little better even though it makes me feel fat, and want to not eat... uggggg...

I wish I was ovulating--but I don't think I am at all!!

So are mine!!!!! K. We're going to do this together girl.

Hey...I have an idea...................I'll post in in the "Girls Whoring Thread!"

Posted by: Stacey

Yep it sucks. My legs have a lot of muscle though--except in the upper part.

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Stacey, I have all of my TTC stuff left, you want it? I'll be happy to send it to you

Posted by: Stacey

Your what??? TTC (Trying to conceive???)

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Yep, I bought a bunch of stuff from TTC.com....and I never used it all, some of the stuff hasn't even been opened. There's a book with all kinds of TTC tips and everything. I'll be happy to send this stuff too you if you want it? I'm not using it and I don't plan to. Once we get to the point to where we wanna start trying again, I'm going to do the ovulation monitoring with my doctor.

Posted by: Stacey

Why don't you want it girl????

Your not trying right now?????

Posted by: naturaltan

hi Stacey

Posted by: Fitgirl70

I can't believe you're still online stacey...did you get a computer at home?

Yeah, I don't want them. We've decided to do the ovulation monitoring with my doctor's office and we're just going to do one treatment at a time, ya know.

If you don't want them, that's okay, but if you do, just let me know, I'll mail them tomorrow

Saturday March 13- update

Meal one: 9:00am
1/4cup oats, 5 eggwhites, 1 tbsp pb
-went back to sleep at 10am and slept till 12:30

Workout~~ from 1pm to 3pm
I did my 45 minute Taebo video, then did my step aerobics video...lots of fun, and drenched in sweat
Then lifted weigts.

And lots of ab work..
Also jumped rope for 5 minutes.

Snack- atkins bread (6carbs), and some green grapes

Dinner at Cheescake factory- I had a salad--lots of lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, and grilled chicken (honey mustard on the side) was good. Had more today.
*We ordered a slice of cheesecake to eat on sunday* I cannot eat heavy or rich foods before going clubbing.

3 budlights at the bar

one buttery nipple shot with my sister (her 21st birthday)

Everyone got drunk but Me!!! I spread out my drinks. I had 3 beers in 3.5 hours.

& Lots of water.

Posted by: jstar

Sounds like you guys had a good time. A buttery nipple...hmmmm...I won't even ask what is in that.

I love your workouts - you're so diverse.

What is the nutrition info on the Atkins bread? I might try it out. I like Ezekiel bread too, ever try it?

Posted by: Stacey

Sunday, March 14th (my brother in laws bday)
What a rainy day here!!!

No workout today--off. Just washing clothes, and looking on the internet at my mom for a job. I'm irritated with Matt because he got SOOO wasted last night. He was puking this morning. Every time we go to the bar he gets drunk..wayyy drunk. Annoying. SO I have to admit I was rude to him earlier.

Meals today started off good- hehe. But on sundays I slip --but its okay, I allow it..and will diet all week.

Breakfast : 6 eggwhites, 1/2 cup oats
1/4 slice of coffee cake

Lunch: the rest of my cucumber/chicken salad from dinner.

Snack at moms: 4 bites of Godiva Cheesecake-- my mom got last night- it's pretty good, and I hate cheesecake.

Also had a piece of my sisters Cookie cake.

I went to the grocery store on friday night and bought all healthy snacks for me=only fruits. Since I know I snack at night when I'm home alone~ I bought fruit, instead of chex mix!!!

It's a step!

Posted by: Stacey

Hey Star!! Thanks honey!! normally I do my cardio outside also, but its been rainy all weekend.

I love my step stuff. ( I ordered it off the TV--its The Firm, 14 inch stepper-- and I have another step to thats bigger, & wider.)

I don't know whats in that shot??? Its good though, I haven't had it in YEARS!!!

The bread has 6 carbs, and 1.5 fat, I THINK 4 protein, and 90 or 60 calories. I will look when I get home! Its whole wheat. I like it a lot. Oh and it is sugar free!

Posted by: jstar

Sundays are my weak diet day too! Good idea about snacking on fruit. I have been eating more fruit lately and it helps curb your sweeth tooth!!!

That bread sounds good! I have some here made by Arnolds which has 60 cals per slice, no sugar and 11 carbs, 2 fiber, 3 protein and 2 fat. *I LUV bread*

Posted by: atherjen

Heya Stacey!

Hope your having a good day of resting!
sounds like you had a great weekend! Glad to hear that you didnt get drunk!

how is the weather down there? its still cold here!

Posted by: JLB001

Butter nipple.....Baileys and rum, I think.....samething that is in a Slippery Nipple just not stirred or chilled?

MMMM........godiva choc cheesecake. I'm craving now so that would not be good. I eat the whole slice and do not share.

Grapes, Tangerines, apples, and watermelon??

Posted by: Stacey

JSTAR: HEY!! Yep The bread is very good.

I think it has 60calories.

Atherjen: Hey girl, how are you?? Yep, I had to drive...sooo I didn't want to get drunk!!! No Way! The weather here SUCKS! It rained all weekend, and today its gonna rain too, its super cloudy out there right now. How about there???

Hey Jodie!!

Thats right--thats how you make it!!!
I know the cheesecake was my moms-- but she let me have a few bites..its SO rich!!!!!
Whats with the list of fruits??? Your a goober!!!

Posted by: Stacey

yummm this carb control Yogurt is pretty good!!! Only 3 carbs, 60 calories!! Good Stuff!!!

Posted by: JLB001

Isn't it AWESOME!!! I have to go to Walmart today so might get a few.

The list of fruits...more stuff I can't have.

Lunch this week?? Today. tomorrow? If your not too busy with work. Who has a good salad?

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Wow Stacey, you did good with all the cardio babe.

Love the fruits for me too please!!

I'm sending you that stuff today by the way

Posted by: Stacey

Hey Jodie--- If my mom and I don't go out to lunch this week, then maybe we can on thursday or Friday?? Cool?! I can only eat out one day a week, thats why. Otherwise, lets go next week!!!

For sure!!! I don't know who has good salads. I always go to Kroger for mine...but they don't have enough protein. I have to get a shitload of eggwhites...

I know, that yogurt is GREAT!!!!!!!!

YUM YUM!!!!!!
I'm sorry you can't have those fruits

You are going to look so hot! When do you start running bleachers?? Where do you go?

Posted by: butterfly

I just laid around all weekend. Seems to make my work week easier when I rest a lot over the weekend.

Baby is doing fine. Two more weeks and we'll hopefully find out the sex!!!

Posted by: Stacey

I bet that does help a lot. My best friend layed around every weekend when she was pregnant..literally did nothing but it helped her so much too.

I'm glad your baby is doing fine

ohhh cool!!! I bet you guys are excited to find out the sex!! Do you have names picked out?

Posted by: butterfly

For a boy... Ethan Collins (Collins is my mom's mom's maiden name)

For a girl, some combination of...
Gracie Nicole
Gracie Marie
Alyssa Grace
Alyssa Marie

Got any ideas?

Your doctor may have you take another preggo test....if that comes back neg....he could give you something to make you start. You're going through exactly what I have gone through. It's no fun.

If you and your hubby just started having unprotected sex, chances are (even if you were) your test wouldn't come back neg. You'd more than likely need to get a blood test. I would wait another 14 days. Still though, talk to your doctor hon. If you're stressing, you could delay your mensus.

Take care hon....I'm thinking of you.

Posted by: Stacey

Actually I'm not really stressing!!

Which is good!!!

I figured it would be too early for a pg test.. I'll wait. I do need to call my doctor though. I will tomorrow!!

It does suck- I am bloated b/c My body had no clue whats going on.

Thanks honey!!

Posted by: BabsieGirl

Keep us posted hon...I'm here for ya

March 17, 2004 Saint Patty's Day!!

Last nights workout was only cardio & abs-
- 45 min. Powerwalk with Cody.

This morning I got Up EARLY (5:45) and cleaned out my car, vacuummed it out, windexed it...then took it to the carwash

(I meant to last night)

My Mom and I are having lunch today. I can't be gone to long because I'm swamped at work. But She is on Spring Break, and we never get to have lunch together. Can't wait!!!

Got to work at 7:40am... I am sooo busy--I have been balls to the walls since I got here.

First eating breakfast~
1/2 slice of carbcontrol atkins bread, protein shake, a few green grapes!!

Gotta get back to work now

Everyone have a good day

Posted by: Stacey

Oh and this crap I need to post:

I was lazy and didn't do legs-- I will tonight. Instead I made choc. chip cookies. Out of a mix package. Instead of using butter I used natural unsweetened apple sauce. They are not that yummy-but the chocolate part is

I had 3!! I felt sooo horrible. I shouldn't have made them.
I gave Matt a big baggie full. Oh and I threw out the rest of the cookie dough, instead of making the full batch.

Anyway- I need to stop cheating on junk. ALL of my meals are So healthy...and then at home, I eat crap. Not that bad-but bad for me.

Just had to share... I feel guilty and thought that I should post so that I can get the beating..I'm ready.

Posted by: Stacey

I will babs~ Thanks!!

Posted by: naturaltan

... don't buy junk and you won't eat it. Believe me, it's best you start now so that your soon-to-come baby boy/girl won't get caught up in the junk food phase.

Posted by: Stacey

Hey Nt!!

~ I really don't have TRUE junk food.. but its still not as good as other healthy stuff.

The JUNK I ate was a few pretzels, 3 cookies (that I made w/ natural applesauce) and a sugarfree reces pieces. I don't have any other crap. Jelly beans are gone- I threw them away.

But I won't buy anymore cookie mix!!!! Thats my down fall. Cookies!

Posted by: BabsieGirl

MORNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: naturaltan

.. 3 pretzels ... 3 cookies ...

... your cheats aren't enough to much harm at all. How do you only eat 3 pretzels?

Hey ... did I read somewhere that you mix your oats in with your eggs? I tried that the other day and it really didn't work for me. I usually eat 8 whites and 2/3 cup of oats. I mixed the oats in with the eggs and when I warmed them up at work that morning,

Posted by: BabsieGirl

Hey..try doing that and sprinkle some cinnamon...mmmmm

Posted by: Stacey

HEY BABSIE!!

NT--No when I have oatmeal-- I make that and keep it in a seperate container. My eggs are in another container..but I do warm them up at work.
Now when I make my Protein pancakes-- I just mix the eggwhites with the oatmeal, cinnamon and cook it in a skillet

thats probably what ya saw!!

Posted by: Jill

i wanna be in texas so i can talk to ya girls on my cell phone.

Posted by: Stacey

You can too honey-- No matter where you are!!! I always miss Jodie when She calls me though

Posted by: Jill

No fair.

Jillys packing and moving to texas. Are houses expensive there?

Posted by: JLB001

I don't think houses are too expensive. Just depends on how big of a house you want.

Posted by: Stacey

Depends on where you want to live, how big of a home you want and definaltey the LOCATION!! Are homes are cheaper than other states!!! I have an 1800 Sq feet home that my hubby & I had built for us- Ceramic Tile all throughout (except our bedrooms)-- lots & lots of Upgrades And we paid $135,000
Masterplanned community--outside of the city! We have our own Gym, a LOT of swimming pools-- Lakes All through out the neighborhood. Homes range from 120,000 to $1 Million (They are developing still the million dollar ones. Right now they range to the $800,000's I think--but thats for A HUGE Home---over 6,000 Sf...on a lake

It is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath (Big Bathrooms- jucuzzi tubs/ and walk in shower--- Big Closets- home is very open. Square footage sounds small~ But it's a Very open floorplan.

Now the home I will get next is about $250,000--but its probably 4000 Square Feet!

C'Mon girl- Move down here... they are still building good price homes a street away from me

We could be neighbors!

Posted by: Stacey

I threw away the cookie that I brought with Me to work just now.

Yeah Me!

Posted by: JLB001

Posted by: Stacey

thanks

Posted by: JLB001

I was bad for you. I had 5 mr. goodbars, those little ones.

Posted by: butterfly

Houses are definitely cheaper here in TX... we recently sold a 4,200 sq ft house for $339,000. Most every where else that size would be $500,000+

Posted by: butterfly

The rodeo was fun!

Nick sang the first song (theme song to their show) then Jessica sang 4-5 songs then they sand a duet, a remake of Take My Breath Away.

Kelly sand 5-6 songs including a Reba song.

We were shocked that we actually found good parking right at the Reliant Stadium! $12 but it was better then riding the Metro.

Posted by: jstar

Hi Stacey!
Wow sounds like your wish may have come true...did you take the pregnancy test yet? *fingers crossed*

Jill - we HAVE got to get to TX - you guys are all about the rodeos..hehe I would love to see one. BTW I love that new Jessica Simpson remake...what do you guys think?

Posted by: jstar

135,000 for a newly built house???

You don't even want to know what your money can buy you in Mass. just about nothing. maybe a nice trailer if you have 135,000

Now I really want to move

Posted by: JLB001

Jstar...are you wanting to see Wrangler

Posted by: Jill

No shit-the house Steve and I just built-about 1650sq feet, quite a few upgrades too cost us $195 000 (Canadian). We have a huge lot. I guess when you convert the $$ its around the same. I wanna be your neighbour sooooooo bad Stacey!!!!

Posted by: naturaltan

We're looking at building this year as well ... and I'm scared about not having any money after doing it.

Posted by: naturaltan

morning Stacey

We really enjoyed out stay in Texas the year we went ... and Jill, it was New Years and we didn't have to wear jackets ... sweet! I've told this story a few times, but .... we went hottubbing and it took the Texas group a good 20 minutes to get up the courage to trek 5 feet to the covered hottub.

It's funny how you get climatized ... we jumped back and forth from the hottub to the kitchen for drinks without issue. I'd move in a heartbeat.

Hey girl!! I'm glad you guys had fun!!! I love the remake of Take My breath away that they did!~ Sounds Awesome!!!

We could go jogging together!!!

NT: Hey honey, Yep make sure you have money left over after making the house payment. Thank god we paid off our charge cards...otherwise we would be screwed. It is hard right now, since they cut my pay.. but I know I could get a second job easily if I needed to

Although I would miss my doggie too much!!!

Well Friday night might be different then a Tues night... more people out, you know.

We went up to Myerland Plaza before cause they have 3 maternity clothes stores... got a bunch of new stuff that should last me til I deliver!!! I love the pants that don't look like maternity pants cause you can wear them after until you get the baby weight off.

John didn't want to drive all the way back to the park & ride at 45&Monroe so we took a chance at found good parking... it's in the Astroworld parking lot.

Posted by: DrChiro

I dropped Jodie's son off at the rodeo last night....it was busy but not crazy and from what i have heard kenny chesney was the largest show yet...they still had parking available for $12

the bus actually is a good deal....less hassle in my opinion...last night the bus lot was full though so I ended up taking him to the fron door myself (craig's shuttle service)

Posted by: butterfly

Hey what else are parents of teenagers for but to shuttle them around everywhere and pay for everything

I'm sooooo glad Cory can drive now, although I won't let him go beyond certain borders of our area.

Posted by: Fitgirl70

OOOOHhHHH, OOOOOOHHHH, OOOOOOHHHHHH

I love that Kashi cereal! Sure wish I could have some!

Hey girl!! Yep your right, I'm sure it will be crazy tomorrow night. I really don't want to go, But Matt wants to go real bad-- He hasn't been to the rodeo this year yet.

Thats awesome that you got a bunch of maternity clothes!!!! Yeah, I like those kind of pants tooo-- good thinking!

I don't know what we will do tomorrow, drive or park??? hmm?

Posted by: Stacey

Hey Fitgirl!! I know I LOVE kashi go lean crunch. I don't eat too much of it though!! But it is a yummy thing!!!

Man I don't wanna work at all!!!

I went to target looking for a cute pink top to wear ( I HAVE Sooo much Pink clothes, but want something new..hehe) to wear to the rodeo. But no luck. I did buy a cute pink tank top for 6.99 -but its more for weekend wear.

I don't know if I should buy something or not?? HmmM? I will go to the mall on my way home to see if I can get a cute top for under 20!

Posted by: JLB001

Nick just got his learners permit (his dad was being a butt and wouldn't take him at 16). So riding with him right now might be scary!

Stacey..the bus is easy! Unless you get a driver like we had and have to give him directions back to the parking place from Reliant. Poor guy!

Posted by: Stacey

Hey Jodie! the bus was HELL for me at George Strait. Our driver sucked. It took us ONE hour to go from Minute maid park in ride to the Reliant!

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Oooooh, speaking of Pink, I just got a really cute Pink top at Target, that's where I went.....it is so cute, sleeveless, pink and brown spots on it. .,...so cute, I'd thought about wearing it tonight, but I'm wearing a black skirt I think and it won't match that well!!

Posted by: Stacey

Yeah I wouldn't put that top with the black skirt

I saw that top--CUTE CUTE.
I got a pink tank top that says "Malibu" on it...its So Cute!!

I'm glad Pink is in... I HAVE More pink in my closet than any color!! My clothes are organized by color--and You seee alllll PINK forever...hehe.

Target has some cute pink sparkly flip flops I'm gonna get this weekend --they are 7.99...sooo cute!!!!

Posted by: Jill
