Didn't hit 30 minutes, but got in 15 minutes of moving and small weights. Will try to hit 30 today. Does housework count?

Any of you experience more erratic periods by eating this way? Used to be 28 days exactly and today is day 34 with nothing. DH hd a vasectomy over a year ago, so I can't be pregnant.

HECK YES housework counts! Remember what Mark says........... slow and steady movement. Just move! Thats the important thing - besides, some housework can be a good workout! Do you have stairs in you house? Take those stairs as many times a day as you can!

I walked 2.75 miles this morning! And its a bit blustery in my neck of the woods today. My goal is to walk everyday - seven days a week!

Good girl! Moving slowly is the only part of primal fitness I do well, but at least I have that. Hoping to move gradually into the other areas as my strength picks up. I want to be fit, not just not fat. I don't need to be a super-athlete, just healthy.

Are you sure? I've had at least one friend whose husband got snipped, only to find out they were supposed to wait a few months. Whoops.

I suppose that this is a bad time to mention that my dad had TWO vasectomies...and neither of them were effective. My baby sister was born three years after the first one; my baby brother, two years after the second one. Mom's tubal ligation finally stopped the vicious cycle!! I think A and J were just meant to be.

Ladies, I thought I'd chime in with some recent discoveries.

I ate more sweet potatoes preceding my last period, and tried to get more seaweed in me. While my cramps still weren't great, they were still of a lesser pain level. The rest of my period went pretty smoothly, and lightly as well. I usually have very heavy periods at the start.

I'm going to continue doing this and see how my rag behaves as the months go by. I still feel food is everything when it comes to all health, especially your Aunt Flo!

He went in for the testing, had a 0 count in May 2011 and Aug 2011. So while I'm not 100% I suppose, would that be possible? We got pregnant VERY easily with both children - first month with #1 and second month with #2. The scary thing is I feel like something is coming, but it's not and that's EXACTLY how I felt both times I was pregnant. If nothing by Friday I may just have to pick up a test when we're out getting DH's bday present.

I'm safe, but a 34 day cycle! And the days leading up I was exhausted. I have to figure out this energy issue at the end of my cycle.

Got in 45 minutes of walking yesterday, so on track with my self challenge. My youngest son and GF get in today with a list of favorite places and family recipes he wants her to try. I know I can eat PB out, but the home dishes will require some thought. I've taken almost two weeks off from the clinic and it's been nice. I love what I do, but sometimes the screaming all day gets to me and there is no way to avoid it when it's shot time! I've also gained extra time in my day since I don't have a 2 hour commute. Between the two, I've been sleeping well and have not woken up at 2am for a couple of days. Thanks for listening all, just knowing your out there helps!
