Almost 11 months

In just two days, DH and I will have been trying for baby #1 for 11 months. I cannot believe it's been that long already. I mean, we've had some good progress (finally getting checked for IR) but it's a bit sad that we don't already have a baby or have one on the way. I'm really hoping that by the end of the summer, we will be expecting a beautiful bundle of joy. I have to give myself something to work toward, so that will be my new goal.

I haven't had much soda since the OGTT. I had zero energy for the next-to-last night of VBS, which I'm sure was due to the fact that I haven't consumed any drink other than water until that point. Yesterday, I had a small cup of punch, but I've been trying my best not to drink any calories. I've been sticking to water, which has made me realize that a) I need to go buy a new filter for our water filter, and b) the tap water is not remotely cold enough to be satisfying. I'm going to need to start filling jugs and keeping them in the fridge to make them cold enough.

Just hanging out here with the kitties today. DH is working an overtime shift 'til 11, so I've been doing absolutely nothing productive all day. I'm thinking about reading for a couple of hours until I'm hungry enough to have some dinner. I think I've been doing pretty well as far as my diet is concerned. I haven't been counting calories, but I think I'm hovering around 1200-1300 a day, which is great. I've been eating more filling foods, which means I'm snacking less during the day. I've only had 3/4 cup ice cream and about an ounce of chocolate since I started the diet, so I'm pretty proud of myself! I had half a bag of M&Ms in my yogurt today, and half a dark chocolate bar (approx. 0.73 oz). I have felt like I've snacked more today than I should've, but I think from now on, whenever I get the urge to start snacking, I'll just drink water. Then, I'll get closer to drinking the amount of water I should be drinking and not fill up on sugar and snacks.
