Hello 2014

I am so happy to see 2014. 2013 was a rough one and I feel like things can only get better from here. I wanted to update you all on my new diet change for my endo. I have been doing it for 7 days now. It has been really hard...I mean really hard! The hardest part so far is the no dairy and wheat. Gluten free bread has been rough. I am finding more gluten free products that I like though. I also think when eating out can be very difficult since there is usually not much on the menus that I can actually eat. Yesterday we went to a Thunder basketball game and we had some amazing friends invite us in the suite area. It was awesome. Thankfully they had food I could eat....until the dessert. Everyone was eating these yummy and very big desserts. My mouth was watering. I didn't touch any! I was proud of myself. This diet is not a New Year resolution. It is for my fertility. I want my next IVF cycle to work so much that I am willing to about try anything. I can already tell a difference in the way I feel. I am less tired. I will see if I notice changes in cramps/pain while I am on my period soon. I have already lost about 4 lbs. I do want to lose weight so this diet is a win win! For each goal of weight I lose I get something special. I made a list out last week with Chris. I am excited because I am almost to my first 5lb goal! :) 
Please continue to pray for Chris and I. We should be starting meds in Feb. I pray I can stay positive and encouraged during IVF #3. Please 2014 let this be our year!
