How are you taking care of yourself?
For me, TTC has become all consuming. I think about it all the time... symptoms, timing, testing, etc... Starting today, Im getting back into my workout routine. I want to take care of myself better and take my mind off of obsessing about being pg! Thankfully, Im chosing an outlet that will help prepare my body should I happen to get pg.. see, I had to throw it in there somewhere... lol.
So what do you of you lovely ladies do to clear your mind and take care of yourselves??

 Me either! Instead I have rationalized in my head that I should stop going to the gym until I find out if I am pg or not this way I can find out an appropriate level of exercise. LOL annnd not to mention my eating habits have been pretty bad "since I will be gaining weight anyway". Ugh...I am such a psycho!! I was so good all summer with the gym and eating. Getting back into it will help me not obsess either so this is my plan.........next week

This is me. Eating everything in sight and definitely NOT working out... Hoping I can get motivated now that it is a bit cooler out.

Re: How are you taking care of yourself?
I started going to the gym 3x per week with DH. I take prenatals, baby aspirin and I'm trying to limit my intake of soda. I also have DH on a men's multivitamin to give the lil swimmers a good start
I'm not drinking nearly enough water for even a non-pregnant person.
And right now i'm eating a homemade chocolate chip cookie (after the gym, of course!)

Re: How are you taking care of yourself?
I'm back to teaching and work which helps me focus more on a routine. So I'm eating better, pre-natals and making sure my DH takes his multi-vitamin  , gym, yoga, limiting the wine intake and only decaf coffee when I have it. Also, I just starting drinking raspberry leaf tea in hopes that helps.
 and take care of yourselves ladies!

Re: How are you taking care of yourself?
ive been trying to go walking everyday. my back is messed up so i can't run anymore which totally stinks so i am trying to walk at least walk 5 times a week because i'd like to keep that up during pregnancy to stay in some sort of shape...
other than that i will start prenatals in a week or so..
i live a pretty healthy lifestyle so there isn't much to cut out - diet soda, artificial sweetner and coffee is all i can think of but i think i will just wait until i get a BFP for that

Same here. I have been forgetting to take them ever since I went on vacation though. Just started again and trying to remember. I was doing so well with it too.

Re: How are you taking care of yourself?
I was eating healthy (only one cheat day a week), working out 5 days a week, taking prenatals, drinking plenty of water, eating 6 small meals a day.
Part of me thinks that because I was taking such good care of myself i Was able to get pregnant quicker than I imagined.
