Debra ... Good to have you back !! If you can't indulge a little on holiday, what's the point .. As I said above, not doing v. well at all. In fact I'm getting a horrible shape and if I don't do something about it pretty sharpish I'll probably never get it back ... Will think about it (!) ..
Sandra x
Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds......
Debra - I agree with Sandra...holidays are for relaxing and letting go...and it definitely sounds like you enjoyed yourself!! Life is way too short to be worried about a couple of kilos...4 is nothing (and is probably muscle from all the exercise 
).
I am starting the detox on Saturday...I remembered I have a dinner Friday night which I know I will have no self-discipline
. If I start on Saturday then I have the week to do the detox. (I am doing the 7 day...the 10 days is pushing it). Will let you guys know how I am doing...will be tough though!
Went jogging yesterday and did yard work. Today about 30 minutes of exercise (not jogging cuz I screwed up my knee yesterday..actually old injury from holiday in Portugal...after a night of drinking I fell down the street
). Also I have to clean the house - again - we are putting it on the market so realtors coming by to take photos....when will it ever end???

Hi All.
Glad to see you are all doing so well!
I have fallen off the wagon a little too, but haven't gained weight. I just know I'm not eating as healthily as I can. I have a student shadowing me for a few days who is vegetarian so that is being a good influence.
I have had a really shocking day or two! I'm not going to go into detail- suffice to say there have been many tears. But I shall not succumb to the chocolate bar!
I am away for the whole of the summer. 5 weeks in Puglia and a huge 50th over 2 days before that, so I shall probably be much more rotund when I greet you again in September.
We are going to see the specialist on Wednesday and after my last few days I just know it is going to be more bad news. £120.00 to destroy your life. I could do with that job!
Keep going girls! Let me see all you BFPs

oooh Lynne, what a fabulous sounding summer - you deserve it. Just you and DH or other family/friends too? Good luck with the specialist, what do you think they'll say? Is DH still on the vitamins?
The scales hinted I've already dropped a kg which makes me think positively. I've also just spent 1.5hrs mowing the lawn which is good for the soul if not much else.
So far:
porrage, banana + tea.
plain salad + tiny bit of cottage cheese (I'm out visiting later so will have treats no doubt).
Traci, not sure if I'll do the detox, starting anything vaguely restrictive makes me doubly hungry so perhaps just being home and away from Tesco's Finest treats will be a good start....
We can do it ladies....

Debra - no prob not joining me with detoxing...you are so close to FET I wouldn't do it either. My plans to workout today haven't transpired...my knee is really acting up and I can just about clean.
Today I have had some watermelon, tomotoes, rice cakes...oh and bad for lunch...a croissant...but will eat healthy for dinner.
Realtors coming tomorrow AM and then I drive back to Vienna so probably no time for working out...but also less time to eat
.
Wow - 1.5hours mowing the lawn!! That is surely a calorie burner
Until tomorrow!

....yes the lawn took some effort. Tomorrow I'll rake it all up...plus help prime the garage door, some nice stretching moves there 
I bought an ashtanga yoga dvd last week, but having watched 5mins last night have realised I was hopelessly optimistic as it's WAY too advanced for a novice like me.
Traci, I totally understand re. the leg. I've a weak left knee and can really feel it after even minor effort. No more high impact anything for me ever again I suspect.
My visit this afternoon was treat-free, despite having taken over Sicilian biscotti, my friend and the kids ate some but I managed to say no. It was a bit tricky at times. She and I were pg buddies 2.5 years ago. She had no.2 last autumn and today she announced they're expecting No.3. She was so worried about upsetting me. I did a good job of looking pleased but feel sick now.
Mustn't wallow....

All my good intentions failed! Vegetarian student demanded chips for lunch and cake for afters. And I'd been so good. Oh well, once won't hurt.
Debra, we have a number of family and friends popping in and out over the summer, but I am dreading it!. Dh's daughter and 2 children are the first. I have already bought my smile. If it wears off I shall find another from somwhere else quickly. Life feels a lot like that at present. I'm sure everyone knows waht I mean.
Dh is still on the vitamins, but we are not really 'at one' at the minute.
Hope the clinic will give us a treatment date. Fear they will tell us there is something wrong with the last lot of tests. All the screenings have changed, so we've had everything done again. This appointment came out of the blue and isn't with our usual doctor.

Lynne - I am sending positive vibes that you can join us in September!! I hope you get the all clear from your tests...it is such a pain in the butt and then they make you wait for the results. With DHs first test..they said they would have the results within a week...well it took over 2 months!!! Luckily I moved on and starting going to the clinic.
Debra - Sounds like you are keeping very busy!! I always feel working and moving the body helps - no matter what. I sweat more doing the floors than jogging I too bought a yoga DVD a while ago...did it twice and then figured I had a higher risk of screwing up my back then the benefits I would get.
About a month ago I received a beautiful card...a baby announcement from a very good friend of mine in the US...I started crying and crying...DH didn't know what to do. We also have friends in the UK (DH#s best friend) - his wife is expecting...can't bring myself to even call them...so Debra you are not alone in your feelings. We are next!!!
OK getting nervous about starting the detox...but I am going to do it! I have to prove it to myself...so I will desperately need you guys next week.

Hi All
Debra - really good to have you back - all the people at work will be on holiday soon so I should be able to keep up better.
Tracii - good luck with the detox I wish I was strong enough to do that but I can't
Amazingly I lost 2llb this week - after a BBQ as well!!! so at the moment have lost 9llb in 8 weeks which I am sooo pleased about would like to lose some more so I don't have to worry when on tmt as those drugs make me sooo hungry. Although I am going to try and stay healthier this time. Waiting for AF - anytime from tomorrow - can not stand going to the loo at the moment - keep avoiding it and then being really despersate Drives you mad doesn't it 
Lynne - good luck with the tests and enjoy your summer - sounds fab - hope you can join us in september - I'll be listening to all the names in the waiting room at the LWH (if I get the go ahead)
Keep up the good work all - I am being good this week and saving points in the bank of chocolate I NEED a bar of bournville when my AF is here
Lots of Love
Julie

Julie- WOW!! 9lbs!! That is fantastic!! I am sure you feel great as well. You definitely deserve the chocolate - so remember to enjoy life as well
I am about to go to the market to shop for my detox...mmm...can I do it??? Ok it is only 7 days and am very curious how my body will react. I am going to make a big pot of veggie bean soup but unfortunately I will not be able to have nice crusty bread and a glass of red wine with it
Yesterday I drove from Munich to Vienna...huge, huge, huge traffic jams . My legs and eyes were so tired by the time I arrived in Vienna...that I hit the garage! So today I am giving myself the day off and will do exercise tomorrow.
How is everyone else?

Julie - as mentioned on another topic...I hope AF arrives. Take it easy...the arrival of AF takes so much out of us 
...PMA - it could be our last one for quite a while!
I woke up this morning and dressed in my jogging clothes...otherwise this activity may slip away during the day . Took the dogs for a walk and am about to make my veggie bean soup, will go for a jog and then take the dogs into the woods for a nice, long walk this afternoon. Trying to mentally prepare for the start tomorrow of detox - I eat healthy anyway but I do crave certain things and this will be the toughest...atleast I timed the detox not during AF.
I hope you all have a great and healthy weekend!!!

Hi girls.
Sounds like you are all doing SO well. BRILLIANT.
I had a huge chinese last night. Don't really care at the minute. Screening came back form clinic and all is well. However they are talking about me starting treatment in January! I can't believe it. I am so dissapointed. DH isn't scheduled for his op until 3rd October. Post op is 2 weeks later and only then will they let me start. Because of the Christmas break they won't start anything in November. They will let me be on meds in late Dec for mid Jan EC.
I had convinced myself September/October at the latest.
I know it will pass quickly, but I know you will all understand I have spent 8/9 years of my life waiting for DH to decide and I can't help feeling like, once again, I have to do things on someone elses timetable. I've had an awful week and this was just another layer. All DH said was "That's fine- it will be a September baby".
Anyway! I shall grit my teeth and bear it. Onwards and upwards. It's all we can do isn't it?
Keep strong ladies. Jules- really good luck for September.
I shall call in occasionally from deepest, darkest Puglia. Seeing as they seem to be living in 18th Century, computers are a rarity. Our internet bar got a virus and it took them 9 months to get a man in to fix it. They believe in putting off today what you can put off tomorrow. Maybe the clinic has taken a few lessons from them.
Ciao tutti.
Lynne

Puglia is in the heel of Italy. We are quite far down, near Brindisi. It is lovely but very hot and humid.
It is the land of olive oil. The fish is extremely fresh and the wine is lovely (though obviously moderate intake is required ).
This time tomorrow we shall be on our way. We are driving though, so won't actually arrive until Wednesday. Can't wait.
Good luck all you healthy girls.
