Hi all!
Hope everyone is ok! Today...
No breakfast
Lunch m and s salad, strawberries, mini chocolate and oragne roll, min flapjack, apple and cinnamon rice cakes
Dinner risotto with courgette, aubergine and Parmesan. Frozen yogurt,meringue and raspberries
I think the salad was a bit 'healthy' but it was yummy and we were having a picnic, I'm much more relaxed withdiet at the moment but I don't care, helps me feel less fed up!!!!
I'm glad you're feeling less fed up swish and your diet looks absolutely fine to me anyway :D
I had:
Lunch: Bagel with sugar free jam, mini battenberg cake
Dinner: Tesco light choices tomato and cheese pasta bake, bakewell tart
Snack: Tesco value white chocolate & strawberry cereal bar, ww toffee & honeycomb ice-cream sundae
My goodness, I ate some crap today!
I really tried to restrict my protein and sodium for much of the day today, because I knew I'd be having a panzerotti for supper tonight.
6:30am: coffee
12pm: sliced cucumber tossed with balsamic vinegar, low fat frozen yogurt bar (it was very yummy), peach, Mike & Ike candy
5pm: rice cake, 1 slice of watermelon, a handful of small yellow plums, green apple and mixed berry sorbet
7:30pm: cheese panzerotti, peach, Sour Patch Kids
I had to do my best to estimate my totals. Based on the size of the panzerotti (I weighed it), it wasn't too bad. The only nutritional info for a panzerotti I could find included sauce, but this particular one was just cheese and the sauce was on the side. I threw away the included sauce and instead used that new sauce with only 30mg of sodium I discovered, so I think my sodium total was actually maybe 400 mg lower than what I have listed, which means I didn't go too overboard today after all.
Calories: 1347
Protein: 25.8 (I think I tried too hard to limit protein today, and the panzerotti didn't have nearly as much as I thought. Even if I'm underestimating the amount, I'm way below my limit, and I'm happy about that).
Sodium: Somewhere between 1000 and 1527mg - I think it was closer to the former estimate - pretty good for having such a huge cheat
I'm sooooo ready to start eating real food again, as you can tell. I'll be 9dpo tomorrow, and I'm praying I'll get an early BFP so I can reward myself with breakfast!
hi girls, just saying bye since I´m leaving on holiday today and won´t be able to get on much.
Got a BFN today on a real test, so I guess it was just an evap line.
swish, good luck with your attempt(s!), hope to find you in the 2ww when I come back.
zanacal, you´re doing great on the diet, keep it on!
DM, I have it all crossed for a bfn for you.
Have a great holiday Indira, I hope you come back with a BFP. Don't lose hope x
I hope today's your day too mocha :D I have no idea what panzerotti is so I'm off to Google it!
Deep fried, folded over pizza :oops: Basically, it's a calzone but fried instead of baked. The one I had was tiny and not from a fast food chain but a nicer restaurant, so the salt content wasn't high, but it's definitely fattier than I should be eating. Oh well.
I got a BFN this morning at 9dpo.
I just realised I forgot to add my food for today!
Lunch: Apple & Custard doughnut and strawberry milkshake!
Dinner: Waitrose Mushroom Ravioli with Parmesan melted in half-fat creme fraiche, 2 boiled sweets.
Snack: ww ice-cream, tutti fruttis.
This is one weird diet where the best thing I can find to eat in my car after the supermarket run is a doughnut and a milkshake - I couldn't make any of the sandwiches or salads work!
swish - the Waitrose mushroom ravioli was so good and there was only 160mg of sodium in half a packet so I had the whole packet!
I'll definitely use the half fat creme fraiche again too (I think it's called sour cream elsewhere?) - it was really good with the parmesan.
Sorry about the BFN mochagirl, fingers crossed for tomorrow.
It's DH's birthday tomorrow so we'll be out for the day (no idea what we'll do for lunch!) and then I think an Indian take-away in the evening. Eek!
Mmmm...enjoy the Indian, Zanacal! As far as cheats go, it's not your worst choice - just stick with the vegetarian dishes and keep your portions small!
Another not so great day. I'd better be pregnant, because I'm already falling off the diet wagon.
6am: coffee
12pm: rice with balsamic vinegar, low fat frozen yogurt bar
5pm: I was planning a late supper, but I caved and had some Sour Patch Kids to keep me going
7:30pm: Greek takeout. I did the best I could: fries, tzatziki (yes, it has garlic in it, but otherwise is ok - it's nothing but yogurt and cucumber), Greek salad (I avoided the onions and olives and turfed the yummy, salty dressing and instead made my own with lemon juice, oil and oregano, so no salt except from the bit of feta on top), pita with roasted veggies - this was soooo yummy. I'm normally a souvlaki addict, but I think I'd get this veggie option again even once I'm no longer on this diet)
I don't have exact totals for today since I don't have nutritional info for this restaurant. As far as I can tell, I'm at about 1100 calories, 1000mg sodium, and 25g of protein. The sodium might have been a touch higher than 1000 since I'm sure that pita was pretty high in sodium. The only way I made it all work within the diet was by making sure to eat pretty much no sodium and protein the rest of the day, which meant I was STARVED by the time 7:30pm. Probably not a great strategy since I ate more than I should for supper. I have no excuse for the garlic except that I love tzatziki and couldn't imagine Greek food without it. Still, I'm pretty impressed I ate such a yummy, cheat meal and still stayed within the guidelines for the most part.
DH comes home tomorrow and I'll get back to eating normal diet food again...that is, unless I get my BFP :bigsmile:
