And I do love Thai too....it was a cheat meal as DH is actually home tonight and DS1 & 2 are out for the night at friends and guess what....I picked DH up tonight and he had a present for me. He said it was something to say sorry for him being such a jerk lately and it was an iPad mini!!! I was so shocked! He has NEVER done anything like this, he doesn't even get me birthday or Xmas presents. He bought it with his overtime money and because a while ago when we were struggling financially I sold my previous iPad to pay bills and buy food. So we had a nice dinner together too and it was so nice to have my DH back!❤️

Mars - sounds good, yes I would personally add veggies but I love them :)
Mum - I am SO glad your DH has seen the error of his ways :)

Mom, I'm so glad to hear positive about your family!

Thanks Ladies :) I guess while I'm poking my nose in here I'll ask a couple more questions.
Chocolate - I LOVE it and need it in my life daily. For LE diet it should be ok right as long as I keep under my daily calorie limit?
Cardio - It's winter here and very hard to get out and do my daily walks like I did in summer so I bought a cross trainer and I'm doing 25mins a day on it. It doesn't seem a lot but its all I can do before I have to break up a fight between the boys lol! It works out to be roughly 5km a day(3 miles).

Mars - there are no forbidden foods. You can eat anything you like as long as you count it in your totals for the day. The negative about eating sugary/fatty foods like chocolate, cakes and biscuits is that they take up a lot of your daily allowances, leaving you less for the rest of your food. So it's up to you. Last night I ate less of my dinner than usual as I knew DH had some delicious shortbread biscuits so adjusted so that I could have a couple. If you will only feel happy if you have a bit of chocolate every day then have it with a meal rather than in between meals and adjust your totals to fit it in

stephk - you poor thing! In my first month of LE I got a severe ocular migraine (I couldn't see anything) which was crazy scary because I was caring for my son by myself. I ate a huge pack of gummy bears and felt better about 15 minutes later but it's so so scary what can happen with low blood sugar! Let's both hope for BFP's in July so this is all over soon!!!
Mum - so sweet of DH! Glad he is coming around!
Mars - chocolate is fine. I'd post a new thread so atomic can answer re: the exercise, but as far as I know exercising 25 minutes sways blue so it's best to do the couch potato route if you can't squeeze in an hour. I've been getting up at 5 AM to squeeze in my hour before my son wakes up because otherwise I'd get interrupted constantly as well!

I'm doing about 50-60 min stepper while my trainer(who keeps me 100-120 min)is in his holiday trip..
So how about 50-60 min daily? Should I raise?
-
MyByC - 50-60 minutes per day is great. 1-2 days a week I only do 45 min-60 min (4-5 days a week I do 60-75 minutes) and atomic had said that was fine. I do try to work out on an empty stomatch because it helps burn fat/muscle sooner rather than working out after eating.
-
Yup, I do the same thing. In the morning after I take my boy to nursery, I eat the gym :))) keeps me busy from breakfast and burn the calories.
I only do it 5 times/week. During weekend I'm a full day mommy :-))
Mom, I was about to ask...how do you handle with 6 kids?
Today : 12:00 - usual salad with cucumber, radish, cumpsicum, baby salad, goat cheese (homemade) + 4 pancakes with homemade cherry jam.
Peppermint teat - 1 cup
20:30 - vegetable stew with white bread and eggplant with pepper/garlic salad.
1 flan with 1 small cup of ice cream.
+ zero coke - 200 ml.
1522 kcal with 43% fat and 18% protein. (Weekend) .

oh, and another peppermint cup of tea in the evening :D
