TTC pink food thread for November

OMG...I've got the worst ever heartburn from 3 wks of coffee for breakkie. I had one cup this a.m. and then switched to tea. Hope it'll help. TUMs does nothing for me but Zantac or anything else sways boy. I don't want anything like that in my system as we'll probably start DTD on Thurs or Fri.

Here's yesterday:

-Half-caf coffee w/ricemilk

-Grilled portabello & zucchini & air-popped popcorn

-Big romaine salad w/goat cheese and balsamic, rice cakes w/jam/cream cheese, TJ's seaweed (curses! If I get a boy, I'm blaming it on the seaweed!!!)

-Pep Tea and RRL Tea

My cals are still around 1200ish but the scale is tipping in my favor...I'm now down to 110 so I'm almost where I want to be. All my muscle is gone so although I'm skinny, I have no muscle definition. As long as T is low, I don't care what I look like!

Yay for 110 lbs, Jen! That's right about what I weighed when I conceived my angel baby. As of this morning I'm down to 116 lbs, which isn't great, but it means I lost 7lbs since my m/c 2 weeks ago, which seems pretty good, and it's also 12 lbs lighter than the weight I was when I conceived my 3 boys.

I'm trying to be really careful about what I eat right now because O could be (hopefully) coming anytime.....

Hey , girls! Out of the blue, I use that ranch dressing too, and those coco pops cakes from whole foods! I feel like I eat a lot more food than anyone else quantity wise, but my calories and fat are still really low. I hope I don't shoot myself in the foot. The problem is I can't skip breakfast. Glad you all are doing well! Way to go on the weight for you both!

Here's today:

7am: coffee
12pm: rice with yogurt and baby spinach, green grapes
5:30pm: rice pasta with sauteed leeks, mushrooms and zucchini + creme fraiche and parm (this was REALLY yummy - I was much happier eating this than the hot dogs dh and the kids were having)
8:30pm: (I haven't had my snack yet, but this is what I'm planning), green grapes, wine, Mike & Ikes

M.J. - Your dinner from yesterday sounds just wonderful! YUM! Your snack was probably yummy too!

Here's yesterday for me:

* 1 C. half-caf coffee w/rice milk, 1 C. black tea w/rice milk

* Air-popped popcorn w/parm cheese, coconut water

* Girl Sway Smoothie (froz rasp, rice milk, psyllium husks), seaweed (:oops:) & coco pops (those corn cake things) w/jam/lite coolwhip/low fat cream cheese

* 2 C. Pep Tea, 1 C. RRL Tea

My heartburn is a lot better today...Hoping that by omitting the coffee, it'll solve my issues.

I forgot to mention I'm drinking lots of tea too - 2 cups per day of RRL and 1-2 cups of peppermint. That on top of a bunch of CL and diet Pepsi. It's really hard to fit all that drinking in to the day without timing it so it dilutes my early afternoon pee too much for the OPK! Sometimes I have two cups going at once trying to drink it all down! :bigsmile:

I know! When I wake up, I try to drink 16 oz of water straight away. Then comes the coffee (which is now black tea) and then Pep/RRL tea before lunch and then again in the evening. That's why I haven't been drinking more coconut water. I really need to make it a priority b/c I'm not getting enough at all! I'm going to try to drink that at lunch time if I can remember. You're right...drinking so much can make it tricky when you're using OPKs...

What does the coconut water do? I've never heard of drinking it as part of a sway.

Doing good ladies :D

It's actually on the boy swayer's list b/c it's really high in Potassium but I've found that what I eat doesn't give me enough of it. We should be getting 3,500 mg of Potassium per day but I need some help...


:wave: Hey, Zan! Can't wait for your scan!!!
