Always be prepared (dib dib dob dob)

Having successfully manoeuvred Nick into agreeing (somewhat tentatively, it has to be admitted) to have a baby, I knew that I needed to make some big lifestyle changes. New Years Eve 2014 I drank 2 litres of coca cola, vowing that I would not drinking coca cola until I were to have a baby.

I still haven't gone back on that yet.

I also got rid of: smoking, coffee, alcohol, more than two cups of tea a day, most junk food and canned/frozen meals. It was surprisingly easy. I literally quit one thing per week until not consuming these items became a habit. I knew that before I got pregnant I wanted to be able to create the best environment for a little one inside myself and that spurred me on toward making healthy choices!

In addition to removing bad things from my diet I added good things to my diet. I tried to make them coincide with the bad things I was removing from my diet. E.g. if I drank 8 glasses of water a day then I would no longer want that coca cola! I began to ensure that EVERY DAY I got 3 forms of leafy greens, 2 good fats, 4 portions of fruit, 3 protein sources, 8 glasses of water, 3 portions of veg, 1 multigrain item and 3 super fertile foods.

In addition, I added 30 minutes of exercise to my routine, though this was the hardest change of all to make.

A lunch from last year - white bread, sweets and crisps and candies and a mug of coffee. There are ways of replacing these so that you don't miss them!

What you eat has a MASSIVE impact on how fertile you are. I can't wait to start sharing some simple meal plans that will help you to get what you need in your diet so that you too can be super fertile!

We are all individuals and we all have individual needs. All I can do is to tell you the research that I have made and the changes that have thus far helped me!
