Summer, Part II

Okay, so I never had a "Summer, Part I." But my first session of summer classes ends next week- finals!
Then my second session starts the 23rd of this month.

So I decided I needed to take charge of my fertility. So I bought pee-on-a-stick OPK(ovulation predictor kit). Nothing. Those things are expensive, and to think I have to shell out 20 bucks EVERY month? So I did my research: I bought an Ovulite. In short, its just a tiny flashlight with a microscope on the end. You lick it every morning and wait for it to dry. So far, my ovulation is still out of reach.
The only thing short of pills(eww) and shots(ouch) to jumpstart ovulation is losing weight. Since I am teetering on the edge of "overweight" and "obese" (according to those handy-dandy BMI calculators) I decided it was time to shed a few pounds. Okay, maybe more than a few; more like 15-20.

It is three weeks into this diet and I have lost 6 pounds so far. I'm not starving and I don't have to wake up at 3 am to exercise (if this summer is as bad as last year, 3am maybe the coolest time of day to exercise, though!).
Time will tell!
So, for now we lick the flashlight every morning and count our calories and keep our fingers crossed.
