Weigh In Day!

I've been working really really hard ever since that Fertility Clinic appointment. I've been on the Wii Fit every day (apart from yesterday, but since I was in a car accident that has probably written my car off I think I can be forgiven) for at lest 30 mins but usually over an hour. I do less on a work day becuase by the time I'm home, had my dinner, and put the kids to bed, I'm just too tired to do more than 30 mins. When I'm not at work I get my hour+ in! The doc said I only NEED to do 20-30 mins 2-3 times a week so either way I'm on a win.

I have also stuck to my Weight Watchers ProPoints, drunk pleny of water, stuffed my face with fruits and veggies....

And I have been rewarded! I have lost weight, and I have reduced my BMI from 37.4 to 34.8! (I also got my 5% loss star!)

Now I know that is just week-one loss, and the first week is always BRILLIANT. It will slow down to about 1-2lb a week, but what a cracking start! I feel really motivated!

The trick is to keep it up though, right? Well Fertility Friend has finally given me cross-hairs on my chart for this cycle, but looking at my temperatures I'm pretty certain I didn't ovulate. The rise is too slow, too low, and not consistent enough to suggest that I have ovulated. I'm sad because this was my last chance to get a baby that would be in the school year I wanted (one school year between each of my kids), now my next kid will be two years below my current youngest. Any baby conceived after this cycle would be born after September 1st 2014 and that's the academic year cut off date.

I know that's not really all that important, not in the grand scheme of things. But it would have been nice. Instead of being one of the youngest in the class, the next baby will be one of oldest, and wait almost a whole extra year to start school. A whole year of not getting the best stimulation and education possible for their age. I will have to wait a whole year longer to go back to full time work, so that's another year on reduced income. Yes we'll cope just fine, but I want to be comfortable, not just coping.

I am kicking myself for not taking better care of my weight sooner. It's my own laziness and greed that has put me in this situation, and I have no one to blame but me.

Still...... I'm doing something about it now, and that's better than nothing.

I will get fitter, I will get healthier, I will get my baby!

Wedding List.... (OMG)

A new kitchen.... Really! We need one! So I've been saying to people that we'll want either B&Q or Ikea vouchers... Only I can't say which yet because I haven't choosen which one I like best: B&Q Oak Shaker style: ( on froogle ) ( on their site ) Ikea: Tildaholm BECAUSE... our kitchen is REALLY badly laid out, the storage is dropping to bits, the seal round the sink is black and festering, the oven hasn't worked for YEARS (the hob and grill are ok though), the seal on one of thef ridge doors has gone too, and the floor... half tiled, half bare concret! But now I have to choose which one I like best, and get the measurements sorted out, and then get the prices for what I can have in the space we've got... PHEW!

Recipe Review: Hairy Bikers liver & bacon with onions & gravy

I need a bit of comfort food at this time of year. I really love this recipe from The Hairy Bikers:  Liver and bacon with onions and gravy  and freely admit that I have whipped this from the BBC Food website. I follow the recipe (but sometimes chuck some mushrooms in too) and split it four ways at 11 pro points per serving. It's a classic, and even my 6 year old likes liver cooked like this - the 4 & 2 year olds need a little extra ketchup to convince them. The Hairy Bikers’ traditional liver and bacon makes a simple supper packed full of flavour and bursting with vitamins and minerals Ingredients 450g/1lb lambs’  liver , sliced and fully thawed if frozen 25g/1oz  butter 2 tbsp  sunflower oil 4 tbsp  plain flour 1  onion , halved lengthways and sliced 125g/4½oz rindless streaky  bacon  rashers, each cut into 4–5 pieces 1  beef stock  cube 500ml/18fl oz  jus t-boiled water 1–2 tsp tomato  ketchup salt and freshly ground  black pepper Preparation method Rinse the liver in a cola
