Thanks mocha. I'll be glad not to have squash tomorrow - I only pureed about 3 chunks and it made 3 meals!
-
Wow! That's brilliant, well done!
-
Here's me today
Breakfast usual
Lunch usual, yogurt, strawberries
Dinner mushroom and leek risotto with Parmesan. Frozen yogurt
Quite a good day!!

Lol swish - I often think of writing 'usual' for my lunch! I love that sandwich though :D How did you make your risotto - sounds fancy!!
-
Definately not fancy but it was quite nice,i'm so sick of gf pasta now!
I boiled one leek and kept the water for stock. Fry the arborio for a minute until it starts to go translucent, then add stock a bit at a time until it absorbs. Takes about 20 mins! Fry some mushrooms, add to rice with leeks, squeeze of lemon, dab of butter and Parmesan. Very filling and the same protein as gf pasta:happy:
-
Swish - you're so good making your risotto with leek stock. I was naughty when I made mine and used no salt added chicken broth!

The day isn't quite done yet, but here's what I've had:
Breakfast: coffee
Lunch: Montreal bagel with low fat peanut butter, strawberries, CL
Snack: fresh peas (I know these are on the restricted list, but they are in season and I bought some at the market, and I couldn't resist joining my boys in eating them straight out of the pods)
Supper: pasta with unsalted butter, butternut squash puree and parmesan. Yum! What a good idea, zanacal! My whole family loved this and there were no leftovers from the whole squash I baked!
Snack: I haven't had anything yet since we just finished supper, but I'm going to a friend's house to watch a movie tonight, and I'm planning to bring low fat ice cream and strawberries with me to snack on.

Evening :D Today was DS2's 4th birthday! He had a little tea party and my parents came too so I made sure I included lots of foods I could eat but I didn't have time to plan it very precisely and forgot to take my Chitosan. It didn't work out too badly though:
Skimmed milk for coffees
Lunch: cheese and cucumber sandwich, grapes, Organix Sweetcorn Rings
Birthday tea!: 1 pitta, roasted red pepper houmous, cucumber and pepper sticks. 4 white chocolate fingers. 4 mini meringue nests with strawberries, raspberries and pineapple. Slice of birthday cake!

Happy birthday to your son! My ds3 is turning 2 on Saturday!
Now that I know O is finally about to come, I'm contemplating cheating a few times in the 2WW. Do you think it would be the worst thing if I eat a little more salt and protein than a few times as long as I continue letting my blood sugar get low between meals? I have my Mom coming for a visit tomorrow, and a birthday party on Saturday, so it's going to be really hard to keep 100% on the diet.
