Hi Junie! The more the merrier. 😀
Yesterday:
10am rice milk coffee
12pm laksa cup-a-soup & bread roll.
6pm spaghetti with a creamy vegetable pesto sauce.
10pm pop tart & hot choc.
1255cals 32g fat 42g protein.
Sodium too high again! Just can't keep it low. 😞
Welcome, Junie!! :waves:
MumofSix, I don't watch sodium. Like, at all. Atomic said in my Personalised Plan that there is "little evidence" it sways either way.

Weekend wasn't great foodwise, had some tuna on saturday (but shared my portion with both kids, so maybe 50-50 g) and sunday was mothers day here in Sweden so I had some cake. Last night we were out and had dinner at a hamburger place. Took the veggie one, but still went way over limits in fat since I couldn't stay away from the fries. I need to shape up!
So rest of the week I'll try to make meal plans and stick to them, it's when I don't have a good alternative ready that I tend to make the worst choices.
Anyway, todays plan:
6.30 Coffee with milk
10.00 1 slice of white toast with light spread cheese
12.00 250 ml tomato soup, 2 slices of toast w spread cheese
17.30 Rice and a veggie chili stew, a salad with 30 g of low fat feta cheese. A few sweets.
Totals: Cals 1053, 46 g protein, 23 g fat (20%)
welcome junie
mumofsix - agree with primalmamma, you dont really need to worry about sodium unless its something you are set on including?
So yesterday was the day of a family BBQ. I hadnt exercised on sunday at the request of DH and went to all you can eat sushi as you all know!! So yesterday I was determined to burn 1000 cals on the cross trainer! DH insisted on coming to the gym at the same time as me (because my mum is here and can sit with DS). I was like, fine but dont even think of interrupting me as I will be listening to glazby (very hard house DJ). To be fair to him he didnt interrupt me that much. He did an hour on the cross trainer and then went to do weights and sit ups, I did 72 mins to burn 1000 cals and then did half hour of pilates. When we left i said lets run home but he wasnt really up for more after!!
So onto the eating... I recall having 3 coffees with whole milk in the morning pre gym, but cant remember the times.
12.00 - omelette with 2 eggs and mushrooms cooked in frylight
2.00pm - opened a bottle of lower alcohol sauvingon blanc, drank this over the course of the afternoon
4/5.00pm (not exactly sure) - 2 white bakery rolls, a mushroom and garlic veggie burger, a portobello mushroom, halloumi, some avocado and salad leaves and some heinz garlic sauce
5.30pm - 2 thorntons toffee cake bars
8.00pm - 2 gin and tonics
9.45pm - a banana
approx 2100 cals, 72g fat (38%) and 55g protein
OK, yesterday I did fine with food but overdid it in terms of making it healthy. The pasta I made for lunch was SO bland and if I had just added a splash of milk or normal cream cheese would have tasted loads better and been totally fine. So I am going to try to remember that today. I make myself really miserable when I don't eat anything that I find at least halfway yummy. Plus I don't have much to lose so my calories should be higher than yesterday.
Yesterday I had,
9:30 Starbucks coffee- I felt really sick to my stomach so only had a few sips.
12:30- gluten free Pasta with mushrooms and .01 fat cream cheese, .01 fat small yogurt, salad with tbsp ranch. With a nice unhealthy donut for dessert :D
16:30-rice cracker (corn instead of wheat based)
18:30-corn, gnocchi with tomato sauce, 2 pieces of white toast with low sugar jam and a no sugar pudding for dessert.
Totals: Cals 1336, 43 g protein, 35 g fat
Mumofsix - I don't track sodium either. That would be too much to track for me.
I try to realx bout that part and think of a friend of mine that has three girls - she has extra salt on everything!
She is actually my role model right now. She is a vegetarian (but eats some fish), has breakfast a little later (like at 9) and is super skinny (which I am NOT). She has LOADS of coffee and loves sweets, and can easily skip a meal just to have candy instead :-) And yes, she loves white wine. So interesting to watch her and when she talks about eventually wanting more kids and "a boy would be lovely" I wonder if I should say something about swaying... I have not mentioned it yet since I don't wanna tell anyone about my own sway, and it would become pretty obvious if I told her all i know.
I'm so impressed by you ladies who have been doing this for months!!
marika - maybe tell her once you are already PG with your DD :) a few of my close friends know, I kind of wish I hadnt told them because it creates pressure but it explains why I am eating differently and have lost weight so its a bit of a toss up what is best to do to explain yourself. not that you should have to explain yourself but sometimes its easier to say something...
junie - its kind of like a way of life now but I do take weekends off/relax with the diet more at weekends.
