Gearing Up

Apparently I have been getting ready for this for much longer than I had thought. I have been reading about women TTC (trying to conceive) and found that being overweight significantly decreases your chances of getting pregnant. The interesting thing about it, though, is that as soon as an overweight woman starts to lose weight, she usually conceives right away. Apparently you double your chances of conceiving when you are on a downward weight trend. This was obviously awesome news for me. It’s also really helped to motivate me to keep eating extra healthy and to go to the gym. It’s now been three weeks since I ate any fast food! I’m sure I’ll turn into even more of a health food fanatic once I get prego. Most of the books that I’ve read advocate an organic diet but I’m pretty sure that’s not going to happen. I can make sure that I eat enough fruits and veggies and whole grains though. Plus my daily multivitamin is making me feel extra healthy and surprisingly awake despite getting off of ambien. I have a feeling that all this healthy stuff will help me out in the long run or at least that’s what I’m going to keep telling myself to keep it up!
