I really hope that it's all gone by later this afternoon because I have a date with my two favorite ladies... my mom and my princess... to see a pre-screening of Despicable Me 2!
So last night I headed to the gym with the princess...
And boy did I have a great workout with the weights and the instructor.
I stopped the instructor when she first came into the room - mind you this is my second time in this class - and I told her that after last week's class, I walked out of there inspired! I have NEVER walked out of a class inspired.
I even got home last week, after taking the class for the first time, talking to the hubby about it. And even last night I was showing him all the different things that we did in the class.
He just sat there watching me explain the things that I was doing and even commented that I have a HUGE smile on my face while explaining everything.
I love that class... and I hope that I can continue doing it because I want to see definition on my arms already! LOL!
After getting back from the gym, it was time to make dinner for the princess and for me and the hubby.
Showers for all and then to bed... I was done!
So this morning I was at it again checking my LH levels... but the test tested negative. But that's okay... there is always 18 more days of testing to go.
Just in case you are wondering what are LH levels:
Luteinizing hormone (LH, also known as lutropin and sometimes lutrophin) is a hormone produced by gonadotroph cells in the anterior pituitary gland. In females, an acute rise of LH ("LH surge") triggers ovulation and development of the corpus luteum. In males, where LH had also been called interstitial cell-stimulating hormone(ICSH), it stimulates Leydig cell production of testosterone. It acts synergistically with FSH.
This level basically tells me whether or not I will be ovulating... and with getting my period earlier this month, it shows me that my FSH levels are low enough for my period to come. I am still praying that I keep my levels where they need to be in order to get where they need to be.
The soy diet that the hubby has put me on is working! And thankfully I actually like soy and tofu, because if I didn't, we would be in major trouble! LOL! But I am sure that I would have figured out a way of eating it even if I didn't like it. LOL!
Fried tofu is the BEST!!! LOL!!
I read an article about new mother's - and people in general - that put together bucket lists.
If I ever did write a bucket list, it might look like this:
- I want to sear a scallop properly, just once.
- I'd like to write a novel that's really a memoir but with all the names changed.
- I'd love to attend The Oscars, even if only as a seat filler.
- I want to run a very short race in Italy but spend a month carb-loading for it.
- I yearn to hug a dolphin again.
Yet if I never do any of these things, it will be okay. That's because my biggest dream, despite my education, feminist ideals, and creative urges, has been to make a family -- this family.
What do I want to do before I die? I'm doing it right now: being Mom.
With that, I will leave this entry here.
Have a wonderful afternoon and evening.
Sending you love ♥... light ☼ ... happiness ☺ and music ♫
