Oh, I'm sorry you had to hear that, swish! I could imagine what was going through everyone's minds when I was with my family on the weekend (I kept catching them staring at me and watching me closely at mealtimes), but at least no one said it out loud!
Aww, we're glad you've put on weight too because we want you to get pregnant!!
Today I had:
No breakfast
Lunch: White roll filled with egg mayo (not good, I've had eggs 3 days in a row!), 2 caramel rice cakes, vanilla yogurt, 1 Fox's Glacier Fruit.
Dinner: Tesco light choices creamy pasta with peas and broccoli, mini battenburg cake, 2 caramel rice cakes.
Snack: Tutti Fruttis and a lollipop!
Z, you can get away with it in the 2ww and it's nice to have a bit of wriggle room!
Um, add to my list a slice of cake and a packet of Velvet Crunch. Oh deary, deary me! To be honest, the only aspect I'm really worried about at the moment is low blood sugar and I've no idea how long that is important - before implantation or until some later stage? I googled a bit and looked around on this site but didn't find much which made any sense to me! My calories were still only around 1500 for the day and my protein and sodium were ok too.
I always start eating more during the 2WW too. It's so hard not to when you keep thinking you could get that BFP and be done with the diet forever any minute. Of course, lately I've been eating like a pig constantly and I'm not even in the 2WW yet. I haven't gained any weight, though, and am keeping within the upper limits of the guidelines, so hopefully that's ok.
mocha, I keep thinking of you saying you test early to get the earliest BFP possible so you can celebrate with eating and to begin with I was all zen and thinking I'd wait until AF is due, then maybe 12dpo, now here I am testing every day and thinking how great it would be to get a BFP at the weekend so I could eat something amazing!! I'm thinking if I exhaust my supply of ICs I won't buy any more (though don't quote me on that!) so I'll do most of my obsessing this month!
Yep - I tend to test before every meal, imagining what I'll eat to celebrate. I've been following all your symptoms in the 2WW thread, and they all sound so promising! I have a strong feeling this is your month!
However, I want to you promise me that if you don't get your BFP you'll give yourself one amazing cheat night to eat whatever you want. You deserve it soooo much after all the hard work you've done!
Here's today:
7am: coffee
9:30am: Diet Pepsi
12pm: rice with yogurt and lemon juice, 2 digestive biscuits, more Diet Pepsi
4pm: Diet Pepsi
5:30pm: 3 low sodium strawberry-raspberry pancakes with maple syrup, a bit of cheddar cheese (I needed something salty after so much sweet), fruit creme cookies
9pm: Salt & Vinegar Pop Chips, Mike & Ike candies, caffeine free Diet Pepsi
I don't normally bother to record my Diet Pepsi drinking, but since I'm trying to drink more around O, I thought I'd include it. Four cans today, so hopefully that did some good, but it made me have to pee constantly. I'm wondering if that's why I didn't get a +OPK? I was well under for protein today, calories were pretty good, but sodium was 900mg - it would have been much lower if I hadn't decided to have those chips....
thanks for the reassurance! really, though, I'm so far away from TTC that I'm not too worried at this early stage!
Well I guess I should make sure I don't get out of the habit of posting here! I haven't counted anything today, just stuck to my usual mealtimes and girl friendly foods.
Breakfast: None
Lunch: Cheese & Onion Pasty! (We took the boys to a farm park and bought lunch from the on-site bakery - there was nothing less naughty. They all had cakes too!)
Dinner: Quorn ready-meal - Spaghetti with 'meat' balls. Slice of toast and butter.
Snack: Handful of Tutti Fruttis (mostly stolen by children!) and a ww chocolate wafer bar.
