What have you accomplished while TTC?

[oneslybookworm]

I'd like to run as many races as possible. So far, I've got a 5k road race, 2 trail races that are quarter marathons, and a Spartan Race that I'm signed up for.

Travel - go on as many trip as possible.

I've also lost 65 pounds and hit my goal weight...but I've been TTC for quite some time now.

I searched for/found/started a new job that I love.
I have been great about going to the gym and being healthy (especially in the past 3 weeks, yes, I understand 3 weeks isn't much of an accomplishment, but I'm feeling great about it)

I think setting goals is a great idea. If you do get pregnant soon, there is nothing saying you can't continue working towards your goals.

[MrsMB]

Last year, we bought a new home in a MUCH better area.

This year, I'll pay off my remaining credit card debt.

[HoneySpider]

Oh boy.

Not in order:

1. Wrote my dissertation and passed comps
2. Graduated with my doctorate
3. Started a nonprofit organization
4. Sold our house
5. Moved a few times
6. Went to Italy
7. Got a new adjunct position
8. Went to weddings in Chicago, Pittsburgh, Boston
9. Weekend in TX wine country
10. Work conference in Hawaii
11. Work conference in Los Angeles
12. Lots of trips to visit family in NJ & Chicago including when my niece was born and for her christening

I'm sure there's more...

HoneySpider I feel like I should go look for that Wayne's World gif again that I shared on WC. You're so awesome

[Mushe]

I started TTC #2 early last year, and set a goal to do 14 races and at least 750 miles (running). Hit both, and this year my goal is 1,000 miles, but not the races. I want to be able to push myself to do harder races like a trail marathon, and I know I can't do those pg, so they'll wait. If I end up not being pregnant and something is still open that I can do, I would sign up last minute, though.

I'm voting you Class President of Club 2015 Babies. Because you deserve it...and you're cool. 

[grover]

Got an additional endorsement for work, switched jobs, started my masters. Plan on finishing masters in August and planning a trip for November as long as I won't be past 23 weeks.

[ginkgoleaf]

hugs, HoneySpider.

I quit my job to become a SAHM, which I would have done whenever #2 rolled around anyway. It's just taking longer than I anticipated, but at least I don't have to take off work for treatments?

Congrats on the weight loss!

[laurao]

We got our finances in a great place last year.
I also got a permanent in case in hours at work, so we can comfortably afford two in daycare.
This year I'd like to take a trip for our five year anniversary, but I'm holding out in hopes I might be pregnant (as Gegas is the first option, and I'd prefer to go later if pregnant).
We've been ttc on and off (thank you miscarriages) for a year now, so are in a pretty good place.

[ouokie]

We have been TTCing for over 2 years and haven't really accomplished much. Since TTCing I have became a SAHM, paid down a lot of debt, and renovated one of the rooms in our house.
Congrats to everyone on their accomplishments! Some of the things all of you have done have been amazing! I feel really unaccomplished compared to some of you.

[Blackout81]

I got nothing - things have been totally status quo the past 6 months. You ladies are awesome.

[Deleted]

We are only on cycle 2 of TTC, but I did recently set some personal and professional goals for myself for the year.

I just started my second masters degree and would like to complete 15 credits toward it by the end of the year. I might adjust the number of credits I take in the fall if we get pregnant with a fall due date.

I'm currently trying to lose 20-25 pounds. I'd like to pay off our large credit card, pay off my husband's car, and purchase a new car for myself this summer.

[vanillahip]

Erm, we've been at this for quite a while so... Lots. A trip to Hawaii, I ran a half marathon, bought a new house and renovated it myself (still in process on this one) come to mind first.

[shauni27]

Hmmm, I got a mini promotion, ran a few half marathons and various 5Ks, joined crossfit, traveled a little, nothing major.

My hope for this year are as follows:
-lose 45#
-do 1 unassisted pull up and deadlift 200#
-take a glorious vacation
-hopefully get finances in better order
-finish our bedroom

[jessnpaul]

This probably doesn't really count, but DS had 2 major surgeries last year (spine and hand) so most of my focus was on him as well as IF. We also redid our basement (still in process, but we're getting closer to the end... I hope!).

This year I'm focusing on weight loss, reading more, and house renovations. I'm currently doing IVF so I don't know how this will end, but I can't let IF takeover my life as it did in 2014.

[raangoli]

I'd like to make sure we continue to travel and do 'fun' things.

And now that I've put plantar fasciitis behind me, I am back to running. I've signed up for a road race in April and I'm trying to focus on speed AND distance, so that should keep me busy.

[boiler717]

I lost 60 lbs, would like to lose 15 more before IVF

Taking a training course to become certified in Myers Briggs

2. Run 5 races this year. (Doing more of a last minute sign up with some of these.)
3. Get rid off all debt (besides our mortgage) (started at 30K last May, down to 18K now.)

[rt2008]

We've just been trying since the summer and I've had a few losses in that time.

But I ran my 4th half marathon in September. And we bought a house and moved in in December.

[july]

I am going to get back into running. I stopped running last month just to be on the safe side.
Since I won't need all my leave this year, I will be planning a big vacation this year.
