So Far, So Good

I don't feel like coming off BC has been as terrible as I anticipated (of course, I have yet to experience my first cycle without it).  I don't scale weigh but I have felt bloated and my pants are definitely a little tighter but I am getting ready to start the AdvoCare 24 Day Challenge (more on that later) to cleanse my body and we have started a new "clean eating" diet so hopefully that will pass soon.  My face is a little more broke out than normal but nothing that would stop traffic.  The only bad thing was (and I have no proof that this was related to the lack of BC but I'm thinking it's a good assumption) I had some pretty terrible head pain.  Not really headaches because no one of them lasted long enough and there was definitely nothing achy about any of them.  It was about 7-10 days that these random shots of pain would shoot through various spots in my head.  I haven't had one in a couple of days and I'm not mad at that!  They were a little bit terrible!  The clean eating and the 24 Day Challenge is to really clean out my body to prepare it to be the best "home" for the little person that hopefully will be there soon (but not too soon!).  During the 24 Day Challenge the first ten days will be a complete cleanse (ten days of FUN!).  We have enrolled in the emeals website where they are sending me seven recipes every week along with a complete shopping list.  We are enrolled in the Clean Eating Slow Cooker Program.  I'm really excited to see how well it works and if Matt likes the food.   Whether I get pregnant in just a month or in a year I am really looking forward to starting this better eating and seeing it transform into better living!  Oh!  I also did a good amount of research on what all needs to be in the most perfect prenatal and found out that mine was lacking so I have ordered the Melaleuca PreNatal Pack because when I compared about six brands it was the most complete.  The last change that we have made is we have enrolled in the Dave Ramsey Total Money Makeover.  We are on Baby Step Two.  My DREAM is that before we bring a baby home the only debt we have is my student loans and the mortgage on the house we live in now.  To get there we still have a dental bill and a truck loan to pay off and the house in Dalraida to sell and to actually buy (we are renting now) the house we are living in.  Then to have the student loans paid off (a couple of years before) the kid goes to K5 and our house paid off before they get into high school.  It sounds like a crazy dream but we feel like it is so attainable and we have gotten off to a pretty good start, if I do say so myself!  :)  So, that's where I am today (about two weeks off BC), spending a lot of time researching and preparing my body to be the most prepared it can be.  Next up, we have GOT to start walking (the only form of exercise that I can imagine right now...baby steps).
