Snack: Tutti fruttis (when these kids finally go to bed!!).
Omg, ootb, congratulations!!!!! I am so pleased for you!!!!
Today I had
No breakfast

Dinner rice with courgette, mushroom, balsamic and tiny bit if Parmesan, strawberries with meringue, frozen yogurt and tooti frooties
I'm so happy for you OotB. Here's hoping there's a healthy pink bean in there!!! Enjoy eating real food again - I'm jealous!
Today wasn't a great day because we were at a friend's cottage for the day. I didn't have a lot of control over meals. I was able to keep my protein low enough, but went way over for sodium:
7am: coffee
1pm: 2 very small pieces of cheese pizza (I sooooo wanted more - my stomach was still grumbling when I finished my tiny portion - but I was good and held off)
5pm: veggie burger, 1/2 piece of wild blueberry tart...and 2 small magic cookie squares (a yummy concoction of condensed milk, coconut, graham crumbs and chocolate chips. ds took one and didn't like it, so before I knew it I had popped it into my mouth to finish it for him. The taboo chocolate tasted so good I'd eaten another before I came to my senses)
10pm: a few small yellow plums
Calories: 1050
Protein: 40g
Sodium: 1400mg (!!!)
I am sooooooooo ready to be done with this diet. I just want to be able to enjoy food again without constantly obsessing over its sodium and protein content. Just 8 more days till I can test. DH will be away on a research trip in the UK, but I don't think I want to wait till he gets back to test.
did not do so well today. I did great this morning...I made it until 11 for breakfast..YAY! but then a good friend came over for dinner and I got side tracked.
7 am- coffee with skim milk
11- butternut squash pasta with goat cheese
230-mini bagel with cream cheese and jam
630- two portabello mushrooms grilled in balsamic, sprinkled with goat cheese lettuce and tomato, sweet potato
8-small piece of yellow cake with custard and berries...I know! Horrible, my friend brought it to dinner and I had to try it!
confession: I also had a glass of wine :(

:( not a good day
That cake doesn't sound too bad - sweets are ok on this diet. I also wouldn't worry too much about the wine - I know I've indulged in a glass or two over the past few months, and I didn't concren myself too much about it as long as it didn't become a regular thing.
Where did all your protein and sodium come from? Your food for the day looks pretty good. Maybe you used too much goat cheese with your meals? I bought a kitchen scale and weigh things obsessively. A portion of cheese is often way smaller than you think. Also, a lot of us girls eat rice pasta instead of regular pasta because it has about half the protein.
I still think you're doing great!
I don't think your day sounds bad either PinkPaisley!
Here's my Sunday:
Lunch: Wrap with roasted vegetables, 1/2 tin of tomatoes and feta. Bakewell tart. 2 sweets.
Snack: Strawberry and white chocolate cereal bar (not much cereal, lots of sugar!). 1 sweet.
Dinner: Macaroni and mushrooms with Bisto cheese sauce. WW toffee and honeycomb ice-cream sundae (thanks swish, this was so good!). 1 glass wine :D
today we were on a city trip, DH wanted to take the boys to McDonalds, so I watched them eat there and then ate a cheese sandwich and a apple-in-a-crost kind of pie afterwards.
Then at dinner I had GF pasta with kid´s tomatosauce with aubergine and zucchini, salad, an activia yoghurt and rice chips (cinnamon sugar flavour), I found these at my store, they´re a nice treat.
NOW I JUST WANT TO SNACK :sigh:
Hi ladies!!
Sunday was the usual right off for me again!!!
No breakfast
1130 go ahead bar and 1 small piece of toast (don't know why I ate this!!!)
late lunch new potatoes, salad, 3 slices of hallumi cheese (I found out after I probably ate 1200mg sodium in this alone!!), 2 slices of olive ciabatta bread, roasted vegetables. A few pieces of crunchy chocolate. Chocolate brownie ice cream. Oh dear!!!
I shouldn't eat again but I'm hungry so I'm having plain rice with beans and balsamic.
I don't calculate my overall amounts but I think I'm drastically over today, I'll be good tomorrow!!
