Tonight's dinner for me was wholewheat pasta with a tablespoon of green pesto sauce and some sliced pepper and a small amount of feta cheese on top. Finished it off with some Greek yogurt, a kiwi and an apple. Quite enjoyed it actually, getting used to the lack of refined sugars - I certainly seemed to have broken my addiction to them!
I originally started the diet and exercise back in September but then dh wasn't having any of the ttc talk and Christmas came along so it went a little by the way side, although I have been skipping breakfast since then. Restarted it again properly at the start of February with the hope of perspiring dh to ttc from April!!
Onwards and upwards to tomorrow ladies...!x

Exercise was good this morning but food and wine wise it has been a write off oops:prof:

Hi all, and we done all!
I couldn't get on here yesterday, this site wouldn't work for me :hair: but I did do just over 60mins on my bike, thanks to coming on here with you peeps I think it's getting a bit easier now I could go on for longer than 60mins now!
As I couldn't get in here I was search the web and it's funny I found a few forums where men were discussing what they did to get a girl! thought it was just us women who worried lol
2lovelyboys: I was the same with food yesterday, went out for a Mother's Day meal with the old lady I take shopping, and have not been drinking alcohol either, I'm not usally a drinker in the evenings, I'm a drinker when I go out, so struggling to keep that up. I started on the ig diet April last year, then I found this site and found they were getting better results with their LE diet so tweeked it to LE then I found out I have pcos in September and started to change my diet to the pcos diet, now following it loosely taking a more laid back approach,
When I started in April last year I was 76kg/12st/ 168lbs and now I'm around the 60kg/9st6lbs/132lbs mark
3sac'harm: how are you feeling now?((((hugs)))).
I wouldn't have exercised either if I was feeling as Ill as that! Hope you feel better soon, and fx crossed spring summer comes soon!
Frilly lady: your dinner sounds lovely I might try some of that!
My hubby and children want to take me out to a new dessert parlour just opened up in out town for Mother's Day on Sunday, I can't say no can I! I will Just have to work extra hard this weekend and next week after I have been.
-
Well done beautiful rainbow! I was feeling awful last night, running temps etc, not great this morning, I'm sooo achey, going up and down the stairs hurts and bending too - my knees are so painful!! Exercise is out again today I think :(
Puddings are my biggest weakness, no way I could resist a trip to a dessert parlour, enjoy!!x
-
3'sacharm, i think you just need to rest and not push it, from what i can remember being poorly sways pink so its not all a loss :(
I have a few things planned over the next few months and know i will flop it already. have mothers day, think i should be alright, then Easter, afternoon tea and dinner at my favourite restaurant (does amazing steak oh dear) with friends............
-
Yum,I couldn't say no to a desert parlour either!
I think being ill sways too so I'd take it easy so you recover better.
I went to bed early and woke with energy so have done my 60 mins on the bike.
I'm going to have to follow the Pcos diet loosely too as I just can't do the eating rice and pasta thing, makes me miserable and cranky and feel ill looking at the plate of it :-( Having wholegrain toast and butter for lunch and a sneaky apple pie but figured that it's just apple, sugar and pastry so nothing healthy and I need a slight sugar pick me up as I feel the effects of low sugar before lunch and get the shakes. I think the metformin may be doing a bit too much of a good job bringing the levels down.
It's nice and sunny here which helps, hope you all get some sun too :-)

Yeah I'm really not up to much so just chilling now but hoping to feel better for tomorrow, really don't want to miss 3 days of cardio:/ I'm not looking to start ttc until April at the earliest so not sure being ill now will especially help me but maybe with the whole health and egg being matured etc...
Chocolate - I have to say, once you break the habit of having sugar, the symptoms subside as I always used to suffer with the shakes and extreme hunger but whenever I've pushed through and cut sugar out, I feel so much better for it.
So what's everyone's sway tactics? I've been skipping breakfast since September, I did le pcos around that time although not strictly and that went by the wayside with Christmas etc but restarted it beginning of Feb. Cardio again I started in September but been much stricter with it since Feb and dropped most of my weight sessions in the gym. I'm taking fibre when I remember it, 1200mcg folic acid daily, aiming to go more vegetarian but I'm not making it an absolute. With my boys, I was typical boy mum, competitive, eating loads of red meat/high protein, working out regularly but not especially cardio and certainly not more than 4 times per week! I charted, did opks, lots of attempts in fertile window and hips up on a pillow with prenatals for at least 3 months before hand!! Everything to optimise conception!!
This lifestyle is very different for me and I'm noticing I'm more chilled generally too so hopefully it's all having a positive impact.x

3'sacharm, i hope you feel better tomorrow. I was also a typical boy mum, i swayed with DS3, altho vegetarian (which is a big change) i think i went over on protein and i think my blood sugar was higher than it should have been. With DS1 & DS2 i was also on the prenatal, being mega healthy lol, i lead a very boy lifestyle.
I have started introducing the diet this week along with cardio, i have always skipped breakfast so thats not a problem, i have started drinking black coffee and diet coke. I haven't decided on supplements yet, still reading up on them. Will probably get a personal plan closer to the time. At the moment my main focus is diet and exercise (weight loss), think getting to grips with the diet can be tricky

1hr done on TM. I don't know why but I find Friday a hard day not to cheat but so far so good.
Chocolate I don't think I'm totally following pcos diet, to tell you the truth I don't fully understand it. I know I have to do wholegrain, full fat dairy and low sugar but apart from that I'm not sure. The thing that I'm really struggling with is not eating chocolate, didn't realise what a chocoholic I am!
My sway - pcos diet, I don't eat meat, haven't eaten it since early teenage years, I've cut out fish but I eat prawns on a Saturday. Excercise for 1hr 6 days a week. No snaking or breakfast, fibre and folate. I drink coffee to keep me feeling full but I'm allergic to caffeine so its only decafe which I don't think counts. I can easily hit my fat target but never reach calories or protein so might do alcohol to add more calories.
I know I will have a cheat on Mothering Sunday surely it's allowed right? It's going to be the first Mother's Day I won't have both boys with me as my oldest is at uni, although I'm looking forward to a lovley long and lively chat with him.
Hope all you mums have a lovely day on Sunday X

Difficult day today!
Was at my sisters house and she had just made a big pot of chicken soup and made me a roll and ham! Had a small bowl and one roll but so felt guilty for it!!
Then, was at my nephews party at Pizza Hut and ended up eating 2 slices of pizza!!!
Mega cheat day today!!! Will get exercising as soon as the kids are in bed!
Fed up dieting grrr!!
