Sorry I've not been around for a few days! Work blew up mid-week, and I ended up working some crazy hours for a few days and having to spend the night out of town unexpectedly. I also haven't been able to sleep very much or very well due to the hormones (about 4.5 hours in a row seems to be the max I can get), and between that and work I just feel so tired and worn out. My eating has not been great (I've been over my upper calorie limit by a few hundred the last 5 days), but this morning I'm sitting at my ticker/profile weight so it seems I'm pretty much maintaining. I have my embryo transfer tomorrow and I'm really worried about the gains I'm going to see after that (in past cycles, no exercise + increased hunger + water weight = a gain of about 5 lbs in 2 weeks), but there's not much I can do about most of it so I've got to just take it easy on myself these next two weeks and deal with it afterwards if this cycle doesn't result in a pregnancy. Anyway, I probably won't be great company in this challenge through the end of the month, but I'm going to try my best to stay upbeat.

aniela: It's great that you've been getting some exercise in despite the ankle, and I think you can still make it this month! Just moderate for the holiday weekend - fill up on the trays of veggies, and have small portions of the tasty caloric stuff.
gardenerjoy: Occasions can be really rough! But lately I've been thinking - they're life, right? So we gain a little when we celebrate and enjoy, and then we scale back and get right back down to where we were. That must be what "normal" people do (people who have never had to struggle with their weight) - they overeat on special occasions too, and then just naturally cut back after and things go back to normal. They're just not watching every slight movement on the scale as they go through it all! Anyway - I hope your birthday was wonderful, and congratulations again on GOAL!!!
Where will you be traveling and when?
ashori: Ooo, almost there!! I can't wait to see you hit it!
