Nessa84, my diet has been poor over the weekend, and am attempting this week. Today I had a cheese sandwich for lunch, ice cream about 4 and dinner was low fat vegetable curry, but on Sunday I had a four course dinner, then wine lots, chicken, nuts and cake, oh dear! X
First day done. No brekkie. Black coffee mid morning. Lunch was some bread, cheddar, pickle and salad. Snack was low fat instant noodles. Dinner was new potatoes with butter, green beans, broccoli, two glasses of Cava, soy chocolate pudding and a few M&Ms.

I have taken a few days to revise my sway a bit. .
In my revision I have decided to go VEGAN for most meals. Or at least just step away from cheese lol. I've noticed that my sway is much easier for me to follow if I can eliminate cheese. Of course I'll still eat cheese I just don't want to eat it everyday and for every meal.
So instead I'm adding legumes like beans and chick peas. I find this fills me up so this works for me.
Today:
Meal #1: bun, roasted red pepper dip, roasted veggies, with a soup
Meal #2: rice, chick peas, cauliflower, butter chicken sauce, green onion with a green salad and a slice of bruschetta, glass of white wine
This works very well for me. And the cardio. I love to walk outside with my amazing stroller.
Let me mention that I went vegan for 4 months after DS was born because I was scared of eating dairy with him because I thought it would upset his newborn tummy and I was taking a break from meat since DH and his family eat an alarming quantity at every meal. I lost all my pregnancy weight in those 4 months and discovered some cool new recipes and flavours!
So I actually have an archive on my computer of vegan meals I've tried. So if anyone is interested I'd love to share! Also "oh she glows" is great for vegan meals too.
I can't wait to have.... Coconut bacon wraps! It's unsweetened coconuts flavoured with liquid smoke and hickory seasoning to appear like a bacon flavour in a tortilla with any toppings. BLT I think I'll try.
Oh! And mashed/steamed cauliflower and broccoli with pasta and Alfredo sauce!! Yummmmm! Or any sauce really.
Happy I'm feeling excited about getting back on track and wanted to share :)
Those meals sound yummy.. I've been eating some boring stuff thanks for sharing
Do share any recipes Nessa x
Tonight we've got friends coming over for an Indian takeaway so I've had some noodles with vegetables, a pear and a few sweets for lunch. I'm planning to have a poppadom, vegetable curry, some mushroom bhaji, a chapati and plain rice for dinner. All served with wine or beer (I've not decided yet). Hopefully this will keep me on track. Hard to know with a takeaway though! Just done 30 mins cardio as I'm building up from zero!
7 carbs is not many carbs!! But then again real cheese has zero carbs, a similar amount of fat, and a nice amount of protein too. It's ok if you like it, but honestly I think you're fine to eat real cheese.Quote:
