January 2014- Let's record what we are eating!

Sounds yum bluebonnet22! I'm so jealous of all these date nights I read about. DH and I don't know what that is!! 😞

What is a greyhound cocktail??

So after careful consideration, discussions with Atomic & with my husband I've decided to go back to my normal paleo diet but eat lower calorie & less meat/protein overall. I found LE was affecting my health negatively in a myriad of ways. I was extremely lethargic, depressed, anxious (protein stimulates serotonin which is what a lot of anti-depressants do) & my IBS symptoms (which are aggravated by grains & legumes) were making every day a misery. I had gone from my usual exercising 6 & sometimes 7 days a week to barely being able to drag my sorry butt off the couch, I was GAINING weight & life was just not pleasant for anyone. On Saturday morning I had a full blown panic attack & decided enough was enough. So I have eaten paleo for 2 days... Today I've been up since 5am & have been on the go all day, including a 5k run. I feel the best I've felt in weeks. I won't be going back to LE & will attempt to sway with lower calories overall & exercise. It is best for me & my family & I'm not so dead set on having a girl that i want my health or my family to suffer.Because of that I won't post here anymore, my diet won't relate to yours & I also don't want to confuse any newcomers. I'll still read & comment but I won't bother posting my menus. Xx

Sounds like a great plan. Your health must come first - and the fact you will have less overall will still sway pink.

I agree with stephk and glad you're feeling better.

Today:

12pm rice milk coffee & 2 toasted cheese sandwiches.

1pm dare iced coffee

6pm leftover curry and rice plus a bowl of pumpkin soup (which also had potato & carrot in it)

1500cals 45g protein 54g fat

primal I think that is a great plan!!! And remember millions of women have girls without ever swaying! They aren't all doing LE obviously and even a few changes can be enough to have a girl :)

Well the old me has definitely come out today apart from having no breakfast...
715am - 2 coffees with whole milk
820am- coffee with whole milk
We went to a friends for lunch, awful drive there, I wasn't feeling great.
1230 - opened a bottle of light sauvingon blanc (DH didn't drink and drive back). Had a few olives
1.15pm - chicken tagine and salad - this was delicious and I had a big portion!
2.15pm - homemade pavlova - 2 helpings!
7.30pm - open a bottle of cotes du rhone villages with DH, out comes the poppy and sesame seed crackers, pretzels and a whole Camembert (sharing!!!) - well I can't have it once I get that BFP lol

Approx 2400 cal :(
Approx 80g fat :(
Approx 57g protein - phew on this one, but I had 2 big chicken thighs?!

Anyway I stupidly obsessed over whether to have the cheese just in case the egg isn't fertilised yet.....stupid stupid stupid. Then I decided to say f*** it and enjoy the cheese and wine!

Yesterday
11.00am toast with butter and jam coffee
1.30pm- packet of crisps.eekk. we were out shopping and I was starving and that's the cheapest thing I could find.

8.30- panchetta risotto with mushrooms,peas and pineapple creme freshe.

Prob a bit more calories as I had quite a lot of the risotto

All sounds yum steph! I love pavlova and there would have been no harm with the cheese & wine! 😊

I weighed myself this morning and I've put on 1kg in one week.... Oh well what can you do, I've done my best and I know last week wasn't great or healthy but all I could do was my best. Normally I would be thrilled to be 59kg so just need to shut up lol. It's going to be hard motivating myself this week!

The Camembert was delicious by the way and I probably had more crackers than accounted for! :)
