Lunch today was half a marmite toastie (gotta love children's leftovers - I hate waste!) and wholewheat pasta with green pesto with a nakd bar for my sweet tooth. Dinner was Mexican style rice in a ready packet (those microwave sachet/packet things) with some broccoli then an Easter biscuit. Yum!x
Hello girls. Just want to share my average diet: 5.30 or 6.30 am: Instant coffee with skimmed milk and sweetener.
First meal at 9.30: Bowl of rice with vegetables or yoghurt and a toast with low fat spread butter or cheese and a cup of coffee with full fat milk and sugar.
Second meal at 13.00: Bowl of rice or quinoa with vegetables and salat.
Third and last meal at 17.30: Rice or potatoes or quinoa with tons of stir fried or baked vegetables (usually broccoli, brussels sprout, cauliflower, carrots, pointed cabbage, spinach, beetroot, reed and green peppers). At dinner I sometimes eat a tiny amount of meat, most white meat like chicken or turkey and fish.
If I am low at kcals I eat a banana, an apple, drink some white wine, some sodas, chocolate, rice milk, coconut water or more rice. I like that the diet allows me to eat almost everything as long as I stay within the limits. I have almost eliminated black earl grey tea from my diet - something I loved to drink before. Instead I drink coffee - around four cups a day. If I'm hungry between meals I take a cup of coffee or a diet coke.
I usually do my 60 min. cardio first thing in the morning or at lunch break. At 21 I become very tired (and sometimes hungry) and go to bed. I know that lack of sleep sway pink but I need my 7-8 hours of sleep to be able to do the cardio, diet, full time job, doing home work and taking care of my kids. I often feel it is a challenging puzzle to fit in the one hour daily cardio, but I have managed so far to make it a major priority without taking time away from kids.
Hi Dreamsister, thanks for sharing, helps to know others are doing this with us :-) Your days certainly start early, I don't get up till 7am and am usually asleep by 1030pm! Well done for fitting in exercise as well as working full time and having the kids, it's not easy when combining it with dieting. However, your busy lifestyle may make for a fab girl sway :-) :-)

Thanks chocolate. Yes, I am quite busy and often don't have time to follow or write comments here on the site. However we do have an au pair living with us who do all the cooking, household, grocery shopping ect. She is saving me for a lot of daily work and thanks to her make it possible for us to spend time with the kids and exersice for instance. Also I often work from my home office, which allows me to go for a one hour walk at lunch. But it is certainly a challenge to catch up on everything specially while swaying.

That's great you have some help at home, I've had to try and reduce my working hours to take some pressure off to actually be less over loaded to sway. Fitting in exercise seems to be the hardest part for me as the diet makes me feel quite weak. Not sure I could carry on working full time whilst feeling weak and low blood sugar levels. Maybe being so busy for you will take your mind off of swaying, which helps for a girl sway :-)

Yep,I look so much forward to the maternity leave (if I am that lucky to get pregnant) where I can put busy life at hold. But I'm also aware that my life will be even more busy if we get #4. Good that you are able to reduce your working hours. I am not over-stressed because I do have help and often work from home, but I don't have time to anything else. So no television, no social life, no sex life ect. But I don't complaint. Maybe I'll have time when I get old [emoji14]

Seeing the good things is always a good way to think, I keep telling myself that too :-) I also tell myself that when the children are older and leave home, I will have lots of time for TV and socialising and I'm sure I will soon get bored of that and will look forward to being busy with lots of grandchildren hopefully

You are absolutely right about that. Thats also what I have been saying to myself.

I read somewhere that statically boys produce more offspring than girls. So I'm going to be well in there with grand children lolQuote:
