I just adore Peter Walsh! He is tough, but great at what he does....clearing out the clutter. My best friend sent me this book and I just love it. I have struggled with clutter, both on my body and in my house for years! I have spent the better part of 9 years thinking about, working on, dealing with, praying about, collecting stuff for infertility and wanting a baby. I really don't know what life is like without constantly thinking about it. Since right now we need to shift our focus for a while, I have decided that my body and my house will get my attention (of course my girls and Dh are ALWAYS #1 with my attention). I have picked up this book again and I plan on putting it into action. It is going to be a long process, but I'm hopeful that in the end it will all be worth it. I'm hoping with a healthier home and a healthier body all our hopes and dreams will be that much closer to becoming a reality.
So this blog will now shift from being all about TTC to just a little about TTC and mostly about decluttering my body and home.
Today is day 1 even though it is mostly over. I have decided that I can't have a productive day after sleeping in a cluttered room. I have started to clear out what I can. It's a big job so I don't expect to finish it today. I have a small pile of magazines that I have been saving (who knows why, but here they are!) that I just posted on craigslist on the free page. If they aren't gone by tomorrow I will try freecycle and then 24 hours after that they will be recycled!
Anyone want to join me on the quest of a clutter free body and home?

Yes...pick me! Pick me! I am so sorry that you have been having a hard time. I want you to know that I read your posts and have been meaning to write. I just started work again this week and am so tired.
ReplyDeleteI am not ready to start decluttering yet, but this sounds like a great book! I may have to pick it up with my gift card.
I think that your idea for your blog sounds very good. Maybe focusing on something else will be helpful for you. Where are you in your cycle right now?
Noelle,
ReplyDeleteI read your blog every time you post too. So sorry that you are struggling right now...hugs!
I'm on cycle day 16, but my last blood work a few days ago indicated that this is going to be an anovlatory cycle. Which is "normal" for me. Without meds I never ovulate. I am hoping with weight loss my cycles will return.
DH and I are hoping we will both lose weight and then in the spring go back for my SHG and another S/A for Dh and the RE says we can try again with meds.
That sounds like a good ttc plan. I didn't realize that you could take a blood test that will tell you that your cycle is going to be anovulatory.
ReplyDeleteLosing weight is hard...I lost 50 pounds last year and it was so difficult. I have gained about 4 back though. It is hard to diet when things aren't going well.
I pray that you are able to have patience. I struggle with patience a lot.
I guess it was really a combination of tests. She said that it would tell her if I was gearing up to ovulate or not.
ReplyDelete50 pounds is incredible! Congrats! How did you do it? If I remember reading correctly you have PCOS too?
Patience is a HUGE problem of mine too. I think the ONLY thing that is going to help is that we have no other options. We are still going to TTC naturally, but my RE won't allow us to do the meds right now.
Are you doing anything differently each cycle of TTC?
