Day 1: First Alarm went off at 5am, snooze button...2nd alarm at 5.10..Snooze button again...By the 3rd time, my DH asked to either get up or turn off all the alarms as the constant beeps were disturbing his sleep...
I was really tempted to just stay in bed but i remembered the conversation with DH when he clearly stated he didn't think I could wake up and go to the gym....Plus i remembered my weight and how it was important for me to be at a healthy weight when TTC......

And don't forget, Christmas is just a few weeks away and I certainly didn't want to attend those family gatherings and have everyone asking if I was pregnant or if I just gained weight....!!! More importantly, I had to fit into my sexy red dress...DH always like it and the last time i checked I couldn't fit into it......
SO i got up and washed my face...I was determined to get back to my pre-wedding weight of just 9months ago;-)
Got to the gym and met 6 ladies already on the treadmill...I would have been sleeping at this time and these ladies were here taking care of their bodies...WOW people sure are dedicated.....
I exchanges pleasantries and got on a treadmill, pressed on the Quick Start button and started walking...Soon enough, i looked across at the other ladies and saw them running really fast.. Not to be outshone by these women,  i increased the speed on the treadmill and started running...I could feel my belly moving...My heart rate pumping fast....Walking felt much better than this....Oh my, This wasn't going to an easy ride...!!!!!

I ran for less than a minute when i quickly proceeded to slow down on the treadmill....I hoped none of the ladies noticed...:-)....I was going to take it easy....Afterall it is my first day, I told myself...

Luckily for me, the other ladies left soon after I came in ,.....I exercised for about 30mins and decided it was time to go home...Tomorrow, I will stay for an hour,...Slow and Steady WINS the raise they say RIGHT????
TTC: Trying to Conceive
DH: Darling Husband

Over 40s 'have more babies' than under 20s

Women over 40 are having more babies than the under 20s for the first time in nearly 70 years, official figures for England and Wales show. The Office for National Statistics data showed there were 697,852 live births in 2015. There were 15.2 births per 1,000 women aged over 40, compared with just 14.5 per 1,000 women in their teens. The last time the over 40s had the higher fertility rate was in 1947, in the wake of WWII. The figures show two key trends in who is having children and when in England and Wales. The teenage pregnancy rate has been in long-term decline and has more than halved from the 33 births per 1,000 teenagers in 1990. Meanwhile, pregnancies have soared in older age groups from 5.3 per 1,000 in 1990. The average age of having a child is now 30.3 - a figure that has been increasing since 1975. Advances in fertility treatment as well as more wo

What is an Ectopic Pregnancy? If a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, it's called an ectopic pregnancy. There's no way to transplant an ectopic pregnancy into your uterus, so ending the pregnancy is the only option. This means the egg will not develop into a baby, which can be devastating to the pregnant woman. While there are some risk factors, an ectopic pregnancy can happen to anyone. And, because it's potentially dangerous for you, it's important to recognize the early signs and get treatment as soon as possible. Occasionally, an ectopic pregnancy doesn't cause any noticeable symptoms and is only detected during routine pregnancy testing. However, most women do have symptoms, and these usually become apparent between week 5 and week 14 of pregnancy. They include: abnormal vaginal bleeding abdominal pain, typically just in one side, which can range from mild to severe an absent period (amenorrhoea), and other symptoms of pregnan

Concern Zika causes baby eye problems

Image
Scientists studying the Zika outbreak in Brazil are becoming increasingly concerned the virus may cause eye damage in babies. Stanford University researchers found abnormal bleeding and lesions in the eyes of three infant boys whose mothers had caught Zika while pregnant. They want any babies known to be affected by Zika to have eye checks. The journal of Ophthalmology findings follow another recent study that saw similar eye problems in Zika babies. The disease is already known to cause a serious baby brain defect called microcephaly. What is not clear is whether eye problems might be a complication of this rather than the Zika infection itself. Either is possible. All of the three infants the researchers from Stanford and the University of Sao Paulo examined also had microcephaly.
