My trip to the vet...

On the IPOD "Ghost" by: Indigo Girls

So this fertility stuff is getting quite humorous. I went to the doctor Friday morning to get a trigger shot, not knowing that there was going to be a firm time table on when we had to "do laundry". When the doctor and I realized that the time table didn't work he explained to me that I could just give it to myself and the nurse went ahead and taught me how. I'm pretty sure that during the lesson I completely tuned her out and was just focusing on the prospect of putting a needle into my own skin... So I left the office knowing that I needed to find a way to get this shot in the next 4 hours. I called anyone who I thought might be able to do it and timing wise nothing worked. I finally had a last minute thought to call my vet. Yes you read correctly I actually called the vet to see if by any chance they would give me a fertility shot. You know you've hit rock bottom when you are getting shots at the vet :) . They were totally on board no problem at all thank goodness. I just wish I had a picture of me bending over right next to the dog scale!!!

Hey I went away thinking that if by chance I actually do get preggers at least I will have a really good story to tell my child about how much we wanted him/her.

To be honest the shot sucks, I feel slightly (lol) emotional and I'm surrounded by family, which leads to a fun mix to say the least!!! "May the force be with me!!!" Anyways I made an amazing dinner last night:

Chopped salad with cajun grilled shrimp and bloody mary sauce
Lemon Butter Grilled Mahi-Mahi
Smashed Potatoes
Oven roasted Asparagus

Yum so good!!

And now Im heading off for a run... to work off that lemon butter sauce!! Ill check back in later...

Number

On the IPOD "So Close" by: Jon Mclaughlin

Last night when I got home I decided reluctantly to jump onto the scale, which I haven't done in about 5 or 6 days... I was so excited that I jumped off and jumped back on again... You know how you have that number in your head that you can never seem to get under...its just there everytime you lose...you get to it and you think alright well I'm here.

Well I have been floating around my number for awhile, but last night when I stepped onto the scale I was a solid 5 pounds under the number!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!! And that was at night after dinner!

And they told me that Clomid would make me bloated and might make it harder to lose, Well I frickin showed Clomid!! At least for this month...lol!

I can not explain to you the natural high that I am feeling at the moment!!

Whats funny is that after I stepped off the scale I checked myself out in the mirror and thought to myself, "Oh yeah, I can really see it...those five pounds make the biggest difference ever!"

Well I really doubt that. But it does show you that the way you see yourself completely relates to the way you feel about yourself!

This was that little boost I needed! It makes me want it even more...

I hope you get a little boost today!
