Five Ways to Stay Healthy During the Holidays

Leave a Comment on Five Ways to Stay Healthy During the Holidays

How are we going to stay healthy the holidays? After posting about Chase’s weight loss journey, I realized we are getting closer to the holiday season. Where you want to eat All. The. Foods. “How am I going to survive when I want to eat everything yummy?” is what I keep thinking. Training for the …

Leave a Comment on Running and Fertility Treatments

Running has been given a bad reputation when it comes to infertility, fertility and fertility treatments. You might be asking why? I had the same question. I started researching and trying to figure out if running while trying to get pregnant was okay. I’ve always been a casual runner, never an elite runner who can …

  • Hope, something that we might be lacking if we are struggling through infertility or after pregnancy loss. I myself have struggled with having Hope after feeling like there is none. Some days hurt so much that I feel I can't go on in life. I have a few favorite quotes on hope.
⭐️ When the world says "give up," hope whispers "try one more time." -Unknown
⭐️ Find Hope in the Impossible -Spock
⭐️ Hope is the only thing stronger than fear. -Unknown

On the days you feel you don't have hope, what keeps you moving?💕

  • I told myself that Chase and I were going on a break and not going to think about getting pregnant (ha like that ever happens to us women?!). I somehow convinced myself (and him) to try another clomid cycle, and here we are back at this whole game no one likes to play while trying to get pregnant. It’s frustrating and I don’t like it.
And for reals, who knew that each failed cycle would make my grief even worse? And then seeing pregnancy announcements seems to double my grief. Only because I was trying the same time they were and they got pregnant and I’m still not.
I don’t complain here unless I have a point. My point is this is life after loss and it terribly sucks because I can’t control any aspect of my life. You think you have SO much control, but it’s really the “safe bubble” you’re in that you think you have control over. But let me not be sorry in saying this, you have no control over your life whatsoever. Who lives and who dies, who can get pregnant, who can’t...only God can decide.
  • Be in the here and now. Your struggle is part of your story. You can’t go back in time. Your struggle is part of your story. Remember who you are and how far you’ve come. Your struggle is part of your story.

Many prayers for those who are still fighting each day to make it the best in the midst of loss and heartache.❤️🙏🏻🦋
  • The past 10 months I have wondered why Chase and I have had to endure pregnancy loss, after already dealing with infertility for over 7 years. Why did God allow this (or any loss) to happen? Why did I have to be the one to go through this? Why does it even happen at all?
Here’s what I think I’ve learned and am continuing to learn:
⭐️Because I have been vocal about our infertility journey, God needed another to speak for those who aren’t able.
⭐️Because I need to learn patience (still learning this one).
⭐️Because God knew that I would somehow spread HOPE after so much loss.
⭐️Because God knew that losing Ethan would help bring those struggling closer to Him.
⭐️Because God needed to teach me that we live in a sin fallen world, and we are all mortal, and we all will die sooner or later. Which means we all will experience loss at some point in life.
⭐️Because we all have challenges that will require us to either move CLOSER to God, or to move further away. And I’m pretty sure He’d want us to move closer.
⭐️Because we need to TRUST God (yet again, struggling with that one).

Do you have a challenge that you’ve been learning from?
  • “We shouldn’t wait to be happy until we reach some future point, only to discover that happiness was already available—all the time! Life is not meant to be appreciated only in retrospect. “This is the day which the Lord hath made …,” the Psalmist wrote. ‘Rejoice and be glad in it.’” - Dieter F. Uchtdorf
.
Rejoice and be glad in it. Through all the ups and downs and through all the heartache. Start appreciating the now. It’s hard, don’t get me wrong, I haven’t perfected this by any means. I think working on changing our mindset to accept negative thoughts as they are and not judge them is what we need to do. Again, still working at it, and I’ll probably work at it the rest of my life. But I think it’ll be easier the more work I put into it. I don’t believe there is a secret sauce for that, but I think it takes intentionality and being present with our thoughts.
