Cheeks's Journal, 11 August 2008

Well, I knew it was a matter of time, as I've had such a great looking ski slope since March…but…this morning, I recorded my first gain. My emotional eating won out on Friday night and Saturday. Its only a 1.6 gain for this week…and I know I can lose it, but still I'm disappointed with myself. The food for hubby's dad's birthday was AMAZING. Soooo yummy! I even had seconds of the BBQ ribs (so tender), and had this citrus cake that his sister made that was to die for! The shirts turned out fantastic, and everyone loved them. It was fun seeing everyone's creativity. We also swam almost the entire time (which is probably why my gain wasn't more!), weather was gorgeous!

Went to the fertility doc's this morning, and got some information on donor eggs, put a call into the donor egg center…and are waiting to hear back from them now to get the next steps needed. It apparently averages 4 months, so we are trying to act as quickly as possible, so I can start this before my 40th b-day in March so insurance will pay for some of the costs.

Soooo can't wait until Friday for our vacation! We plan on doing a lot of biking…and with a few exceptions of eating out, we should be relatively healthy as we are renting a house with a kitchen. =) I was doing some searching on Prince Edward Island….and it turns out that this year is the 100 year anniversary of the release of the Anne of Green Gables stories….LOVE that series! Definitely going to have to go check out that area of the island =) =)

Been watching the Olympics, which always gets me motivated to be more active. So envious of their endurance, and shape! =)

Have a great Monday everyone! I'll try and get caught up on journals today (wasn't able to when we got back last night). So much to do at work, and it’s a short week for us with vacation on Friday! =)

One little gain after 5 months of sloping downhill is a fabulous record! And at least it wasn't a mystery gain. It was from yummy food enjoyed with family - no better way to go :) Good luck with the donor egg program. I'm so cheering for you for this to all work out in the end. Great news about having a house with a kitchen on your trip. That will help you eat healthy most of the time. Be sure to take lots of pics and post some for us when you get back!

How cool!! I also love the Anne of Green Gables series-- unfortunately, I can't get any of my girls to read it! Glad you had a good time with family, even with the slight gain. It will disappear again in no time with the activity you have planned. Good luck with the donor process-- I hope everything goes well for you! Have a great upcoming vacation!!

I'm glad that you're staying positive. You'll lose it back. I know vaca is coming up. Just keep on staying active and you'll be okay. Good luck w/the egg donor program.
