:(. I woke up feeling sick. With all the walking/traveling to work, I couldn't face it feeling sick so ate a nonfat yogurt this morning.
What would you do on a morning you feel sick with a headache? I didn't want to ignore it as I do have to function at work as it's a busy environment. Hopefully something like this on occasion should my body scream at me, is okay.
Your health comes first, suregena, so I think you did the right thing. I know in the past atomic has given advice for people who need to eat breakfast on what the best choices are, but I can't remember what they were. Anyone else remember?
Here's my day yesterday:
7am: coffee
12pm: English muffin with 1 TBSP low fat peanut butter (I was THRILLED when I discovered that these English muffins had only 120mg of sodium, and it made for a satisfying lunch)
5pm: pasta with zucchini, mushrooms, leeks, creme fraiche and parmesan, Jello for dessert (I know - bad idea with all that gelatin, but the kids were eating it and I couldn't resist :oops:)
8pm: Another girls' night, this time at someone's house. I ended up eating 1 handful of low sodium chips, 1 2-bite Brownie, 1 thin chocolate square, and a handful of jelly beans. It could have been way worse.
I don't really know my totals, but I think I'm still ok based on where I was at before my night out. I'm looking forward to some nights in now so it will be easier to control what I eat. AF is gone - just some minor spotting now - so I've gotta kick this diet into high gear to prepare for O next week.
agree suregena, you did the right thing. No brekkie is most key during the 2ww anyway.
Mocha - sounds like a nice day! I don't think it's important to track exact totals once you've got a feel for how much is in everything - you'll know from experience if the sort of things you eat are the sort of things that could push one of the totals over
Oh, I know rainbow - it's just my Type A personality coming out :oops:. I was even tracking all my nutrients for the first few weeks of my last pregnancy - I just got addicted to entering everything into my computer and couldn't stop! I've been trying to kick the habit, though, since I know it probably raises my testosterone. After over 6 months on the diet I certainly know what works and what doesn't...at the same time I love those days when I figure out my totals and discover I have room for a big evening indulgence like ice cream or chips! If I didn't do my totals I'd always be afraid to eat those things. Still, I'm going to try to wean myself off of it....
Suregena, as the others said, NO WORRIES! Do what you need to do, especially when you feel ill and have to work!
If I can recall (?), she said to keep the cals low and eat a bit of simple carbs while keeping protein to a minimum. A piece of toast, a small plain donut, etc.Quote:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am an avid oatmeal eater, so when confronted with the breakfast problem, Atomic said cream of wheat would be OK if I could not avoid eating a cereal type thing,...it's not the best, but it works, it's not as filling as oatmeal so I get hungry a lot faster but i think its better for blood levels plus there was something in oatmeal that turns into testorine in the body I think? So cream of wheat is what I use...not sure it's the best, but I cannot function without breakfast, i will get too sick to my stomach and too headachy to go to work.
DH and I don't have a babysitter, so girls' nights are the only way I get out! I'm lucky I have a couple different groups of girls who like to get together to watch movies, eat dinner...low-key stuff. Most of us are Moms, but not all of us - it's a nice mix.Quote:
