Yoga last night was actually really great. It was at a little place run by a husband and wife, I met the husband last night and he was so lovely. Everyone was really friendly and the instructor was great. She said she thinks yoga is perfect for those TTC as it gets you into shape but also relaxes you. Here's hoping. I enjoyed the class a lot more than I expected and I'll definitely be going back. My next class won't be till the 3rd March as they're shut next week and I'm away on business the week after but I'm looking forward to it. Next week I've booked myself into a boxercise class at the leisure centre. Eek.

I was going to get up and skip this morning! But I felt quite poorly. Last night I had horrible sharp pains in my left ovary and I feel really grotty today. Am hoping I'm just a bit tired and I'll perk up later. When I get home I'm planning to do a dance class routine from YouTube. DP will be picking up his kids from London so I'll have time to do it before they get back. I'm not going to do anything exercise-related over the weekend, just have a nice time with the stepkids. Will keep up the healthy eating and exercise on the weekdays.

I've had to set myself some ground rules: having the weekends off is one (unless we don't have the kids, in which case I might do something). And the other is that I must only weigh myself once a week. I had said to myself that I'd only do it on Tuesday mornings (that being the day I began the challenge) but I weighed myself this morning. I'd actually put on 2 lbs! This does seem to happen when I exercise, and everyone says its normal but obviously it's a bit disappointing. So must be stricter with myself and the scales.

I worked out that this challenge will end on Tuesday 4 May. And that's about when we'll be starting TTC again. I really think I can do this, with that goal in mind. I really think I can lose the 5% of my body weight, but it would be so great if I could do 10%. Fingers crossed.
