Week.... umm... I don't remember.. weigh in

 I decided to go a month without going to the official weigh in so we could save money. I felt confident that I had the drill down after 2 months of weekly weigh ins and could do it alone. I was right. I weighed in after 4 weeks and lost almost 9 pounds! I weigh 178!!!!!!!!, just shy of my 177 goal for this month. That's pretty darn good I think! This is the weight I was at when Trav and I ran the full marathon almost 2 years ago. Crazy! I'm happy about it.

******TMI WARNING******

Talking about happy, Travis and I had our appointment with the fertility specialist last Wednesday. It went much better than expected. He did a transvaginal ultrasound and said the septum in my uterus is very shallow and shouldn't create any complications when I do get pregnant. Which means: NO SURGERY!!! Yay!  He also took a look at my ovaries and said they were functioning properly. This was the news that really stunned me. With Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome one key thing is that your ovaries don't ovulate regularly or even at all. This means my weight loss has triggered my body to even out. Yay! It makes every chocolate cake, candy bar and waffle fry from Chic-fil-a I've denied worth it.
