My poor arms! (Part 2)

So I decided to go ahead and move to Level 2 of the BL workout. My arms were not at all pleased with me for that. I must've really strained something near my elbow in my left arm because it really, really hurts. Even just barely brushing the skin hurts. I had to be careful while sleeping last night lest the comforter brush against my elbow. I'm thinking that when I do the workout today, I will just skip the arm stuff (despite the fact that Level 2 deals primarily with arms). Or, maybe I will do the arm stuff but without weights. I don't want to further injure myself. Level 2 really kicked my butt, though. Hopefully today it will not be so bad.

The kitties have really been enjoying their little forays onto the back porch. They go out into their huge cage (designed for transport of large dogs, so I can easily fit all 4 kitties in there with room for all of them to lay down) and just enjoy the sunshine and fresh air. Of course, Frank thinks he ought to be able to roam the entire back porch, so he cries like a baby when he has to sit in the cage. Of course, now that they all go outside and love it, they think they need to go outside all the time. Today, they've opted just to sit in the open window and snooze. Luckily, our small couch is right under the window so they lay on the top of the couch. I've even lined the top of the couch with blankets so they can have a comfy nature-watching experience. They're such spoiled kitties.

I've had a small drop in weight in the past week! I don't know quantitatively, but when I got on the scales Monday evening after having eaten all day and having just eaten a rather large meal, I weighed 150.8 lbs. A week prior to that, I weighed that same amount after hopping on the scales right before lunch (and after having no breakfast). So, I'm pretty excited to be losing some weight. I've also noticed I've lost some inches on my waistline, which is awesome! I wish I could lose some inches around my hips (the width of my hips is what's keeping me from wearing my size 7-8 jeans!), but I'll take what I can get.

My body's acting like it's gearing up to O again. I doubt it will, but I'm not stressing about it. It will or it won't, and no amount of my freaking out about it is going to change that. All I can do is make sure we BD at least one or two times during my "maybe O" times. I'm just under two weeks away from my next doctor's appointment, during which I will ask for Clomid. I like my doctor, he's very knowledgeable about PCOS, but I'm not a huge fan of the "wait and see" approach. I'm ready to ovulate, and since I can't do it on my own with exercise and proper diet, then medication's the next step!
