Healthy Dessert

I have found my new favorite dessert. It is only 250 calories according to my fitness pal.  1 cup sliced fruit (I used strawberries), 1/4 cup ricotta cheese, 1 tbsp raw honey, and 1 tbsp chopped nuts (I used pecans). I added a little bit of whipped cream because it was only 15 calories, why not?! I may or may not have licked the bowl clean! 

Christmas Presents

Okay…so I might have a problem. All of the presents under the Christmas tree are for the puppies. I have more wrapped but I don’t completely trust Luna to not eat them yet. I love Christmas and they are my kids right now. I know they are a little spoiled but at least they know they are loved. They don’t chew on my furniture because they have a lot of options.

I can’t wait to see Luna’s reaction to the snow. I think she is going to love it.  It is so fun to watch her grow up and learn about the world around her.  She is very curious which gets her into trouble often. See previous post...
I love that Remy is peeking over the couch!  She always manages to sneak her way into pictures!


Luna

We bought a puppy in July and brought her home in August. She is a lab/pitbull mix. She is now 6 months old and she is into everything! Who needs kids when you can have dogs right? 


Children's Books

So I was looking a books to get my nieces and nephews for Christmas. We loved Little Critter books! I know my nephew loves Little Critter books. It just makes me sad. I really want this and I don’t know if it is going to be able to happen. How do I get through this?


I am finding all of these books that I would love for my future family, but I don’t want to buy them because what if it doesn’t happen. I already have enough reminders in this house of what I have lost and what I can’t have. I don’t really want to add more. I bought these cute t-shirts for Trevor. One says Daddysaurus Rex and the other one says baby loading. I was going to give him those t-shirts to tell him I was pregnant… I don’t want to get rid of those t-shirts in case it happens, but right now they are just a reminder of what I can’t have. It just sucks…

Infertility & Weight loss

So it’s time to cut the bullshit and stop pretending that everything is fine. After a year of trying to get pregnant and a couple of miscarriages later, here we are. I went and seen Dr. H in September. He told me he will help me get pregnant but he would be more comfortable if I lost some weight first. He will help me now on the condition that a perinatologist follow the pregnancy, but I just need to lose the weight. I put on 30+ lbs during Nursing School and it is time. This is the heaviest I have ever been in my life, weighing in at 213 lbs. Trevor and I have hired a personal trainer but I am still struggling. Trevor has lost almost 30 lbs which is great but super frustrating when I am not seeing the same results. The least I have weighed since we started this is 207. I really just need to find the motivation to lose this weight. I need to find a way to disassociate weight lost with pregnancy. I think I am putting too much pressure on myself to lose the weight and therefore I am setting myself up for failure. I don’t know…I am so frustrated with myself. At the same time I think I need to cut myself a break. I graduated Nursing School in May with a 4.0 gpa. I am currently attending the Bachelor’s program, so I work full-time, at a relatively new job (which I hate most days), go to school full-time, and I am trying to be a wife and a mom to 2 dogs, one of which is a 6 month old lab/pit puppy.. I don’t know how I am supposed to do it all! Too top it off I am the worst stress eater!!! How do you think I gained the weight, if only it were as easy to lose as it was to gain…
