What am I doing here?

In the past, I have thought about blogging many times...but keep putting it off!  My goal is to get pregnant this year.  I have been married for 4 1/2 years and we have not yet become pregnant.  I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2006 and have had a rough and crazy journey to where I am now! 

My goal in blogging is to keep a "journal" of my progress.  To be honest I am not sure where this all will lead, but I will be trying to update regularly and post some of the things that I want to do on my road to having my own precious baby!  Today I was reading week 12 of a 12-week online fertility workshop that I took from Donielle's "Naturally Knocked Up" website.  It said to take some time to write down some goals that I had, so that's what I did!  Here they are:
I want to get pregnant this year!

Before Pregnancy-
Detox my body
Lose some weight
Feel better
Relax more
Battle my sugar cravings

During Pregnancy-
Exercise regularly
Put good and wholesome things in my body
Read, study, and prepare myself for having a child of my own

The cycle an egg (and sperm) go through is approximately 90 days.  Because of this I am going to spend some time getting ready to get pregnant.  In February, there are a few things I would like to do; Begin juicing (at least once a week), drink a cleansing tea every day, castor oil packs regularly, exercise at least 2 times a week, and eat at least 1 serving of fruits or veggies every day.

I know these things may be simple, and seem easy, but with 2 foster kids, working full time, and taking care of a home these things will be a big step towards my goal!

Thanks for reading!
