Countdown to Weigh-in Wednesday

Hello,
Well here I am.  I am ready to be transparent for the next 7 days because the scale is being unkind to me.  I have so much going on right now that I am not going to beat myself up for the numbers.  But just the same, keeping a daily record seems to help so-

My weight this morning was 164.0.  I forgot to check all the other numbers.  So I will do that tomorrow.

Breakfast: 1 egg and egg whites, scrambled
Lunch: 2 deviled eggs, babybell light cheese
Dinner: Asian salad, fish fillet

I have eaten reasonably well today.  I drank lots of coffee, and about 1 litre of water.
I have begun taking fertility drugs.  I have to inject them into my abdomen every evening.  The drug is intended to increase the number of eggs that will mature so that when I am inseminated there are 'more targets to hit'.  It should increase our odds of successfully getting pregnant this month.  (It also increases our chances of having multiples ie, twins).  I'm not sure if it is related to the drugs but I have been EXHAUSTED.  I have next to no energy.  All I want to do is sleep.  The drug may also have something to do with few extra pounds on the scale.  Also, my fertility specialist has REDUCED my thyroid medication.  That may also have something to do with the fatigue and possibly the weight.  I'm not sure.
  The fertility issue is obviously stressful.  I am trying to stay positive.  I really cannot imagine it not working.  I am however nervous about money.  Everything is so expensive and I have stretched things fairly thin when it comes to covering all the expenses.  So there is that stress.  There is also the stress of the countless doctors appointments.  For those of you unfamiliar with fertility treatments- we have to go to the doctors every other day for blood test and ultrasound.  Closer to ovulation we will need to go everyday.
So as for my weightloss journey, it has been a nice distraction for the past few months from the fertility journey that started it all.  But for the time being, I think I am going to be a little distracted from the weightloss with my primary focus being back on the fertility.  Please send some positive vibes out into the universe on my husband's and my behalf- we so badly would like to become pregnant.

Good night, eat right
Jana
