They mainly use a vinaigrette type dressing. Not like the US here where it's all Blue Cheese or Ranch. So, I have that going for me, I guess!

Hmm... interesting. I guess those things couldn't max out my totals (because I don't eat meat, anyway... maybe if I just stay away from the cheese and stick with hummus? Maybe make it "vegan"... no dairy type stuff/choices. if I don't eat a normal "dinner", i.e.... maybe just have some rice cakes for dinner with jam... ? Or something. The cheese would have the bulk of the proteins/fats, anyway. Hummus is fattening/protein filled to a point. I'd probably go over sodium, I guess... but sodium isn't the biggest thing, right?

I'm trying to make it work without it being too terrible and I would hate to feel guilty. It's my husband's birthday meal! What a party pooper I am!
Of course, he's the only one who knows about the swaying thing, obviously.

I just tested again (yeah, pee-aholic) on a FRER (couldn't wait until tomorrow morning) and it IS definitely positive!! One faint line and one darker line, but even my husband and my oldest son clearly saw two lines!! YAY!!!!

Mocha, my due date according to LMP would be September 18th. When is your due date again?

I've done that before while on the diet. Definitely doable.

Auroara!!! How wonderful! Congratulations!!! So, you did O after all, obviously! I couldn't be happier for you.

GL with your tests sweetsister and rainbow. FX for you both...and anyone else I have missed. Your side of the world is definitely busier than my side at the moment. I always have a lot to catch up on in the mornings!

Suregena, I think all the stressing over one meal is likely to do more harm than just enjoying one thing that is not part of your girl diet. I'm sure you'll be fine. BTW, I love your comment to your MIL about really being into jacket potatoes!
My family are more likely to notice me not drinking alcohol than what I am eating. Luckily they are on the other side of Australia!
