July vacations gain and STILL working it off. But I'm a lot older, so I'm sure you will have this off relatively quickly.<br /><br />I am glad you are going alcohol free as you actively begin trying to get pregnant.<br /><br />Re the weight itself, I've been at this whole damned thing long enough to know that if I eat as close to 100% natural as possible, my body will find it's own balanced weight. It may or may not be where I want it to be. I just need to consistently eat natural only foods (with a tiny bit of BBQ sauce and Ranch dressing allowed occasionally for 'indulgence' purposes)...and let my weight land will it where. I'm hoping that is mid to low 120's, but if it's right here slightly above 130, so be it. That number is so arbitrary, as long as our health (and resulting BMI) are considered normal. :)<br /><br />Good luck, sweet girl! :)Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18386517479350871434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058442233602410874.post-70504858771259805182015-01-13T10:28:35.206-05:002015-01-13T10:28:35.206-05:00I definitely got a little loose with the holiday s...I definitely got a little loose with the holiday season. I definitely think I need to PURPOSELY choose just as long of a period of time (3ish months) of getting back to the template I know is best for me in order to get out of the habit!Jeanettehttp://wolfforlife.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058442233602410874.post-50252258407074769852015-01-13T10:27:22.337-05:002015-01-13T10:27:22.337-05:00I didn't want to make a whole blog post about ...I didn't want to make a whole blog post about it, but I did officially JUST start "trying" (meaning we aren't actively preventing it anymore) this week - so post-alcohol consumption. I definitely plan to not drink at all unless I know for sure I am not pregnant this year (taking a test, actively menstruating, etc). This past weekend was sort of my last "I am DEFINITELY not pregnant" party sort of weekend, which might be another reason why I kind of indulged a little more than normal :)Jeanettehttp://wolfforlife.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058442233602410874.post-38519036409149030822015-01-13T10:21:40.961-05:002015-01-13T10:21:40.961-05:00Heal up your gut.

It also may be a better preconception range, too <br /><br />On the other hand, your fat cells have a whole endocrine system. Your body. Will try to go back. For several years or more. It's not about "being weak". It's molecular genetics , hormonal response, prior exposure to the grains. <br /><br />No failure, just biology. I like Refuse to Regain's 90 day opt out. 90 days not eating proceeded crap, no grains , no S foods. It will change that cellular hormonal signaling. <br /><br />Onward.

I know at least two women who had been drinking for a couple months before they realized they were pregnant. Their babies turned out fine, but it caused them a lot of unnecessary guilt and stress during their pregnancies. :(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07515791040413438591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058442233602410874.post-78042515532187176232015-01-13T10:07:48.050-05:002015-01-13T10:07:48.050-05:00So I found a terrific resource that I though you a...So I found a terrific resource that I though you and Gwen might like called www.nerdfitness.com. It's all about the Paleo way of eating as well as real world fitness. They have tons of blog posts and videos that have been motivating me the past week or so. This site may be old news and you've already heard of it, but I don't remember seeing it mentioned on either of your blogs before so I thought I'd suggest it.<br /><br />Your goals are doable and will definitely get results. Happy Tuesday :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07515791040413438591noreply@blogger.com
