It is good to treat yourself sometimes. It makes the diet bearable!
I have upped my cals a bit as I am losing weight too quickly. I only had a MAX of 5lbs to lose and I have lost 4lbs already and still 5 weeks until my first attempt. I don't mind losing a couple more, just want to make sure I don't stop ovulating.
I had a large cappuccino with no fat milk and pasta with homemade sauce for lunch at 12.
5pm I had a diet coke and some flavoured rice crackers
7pm I had mushrooms on a slice of bread, a no fat yoghurt and three squares of white chocolate.
I had a couple of peppermint teas as well and also did an hour of exercise.
I ovulate in a week and I just don't know whether I should move our first attempt forward to this month. I have only been on the diet for not quite four weeks so I would be under the six week period and only exercising for four weeks. I think I will wait as I know this will give me the best chance, I am just so scared of losing too much, stopping ovulating and then having to increase everything to fall pregnant. Looking back at this last paragraph, it doesn't seem like my testosterone levels have lowered very much!!! haha.

Odd that day doesn't look so bad to me! And I agree with boymama I think we all have our cheat days, just try not to get too hung up on it and get back on track. I think it's the big cumulative effect we want :)

Boymama good job squeezing that exercise in! I wish I could do more girl friendly dinners but our mil lives with us during the week to take care of lo and she would definitely be all in our business if all of a sudden I was eating a cup of pasta every night.
Boymama it might be good to try an attempt this month! Your diet has been good, plus it might actually help that you are feeling sick and not getting good sleep right now! I would go for it!

Oops I forgot my log today. So breakfast was coffee with creamer, lunch was a cup of pasta and sauce. Dinner was a quick one I had an awful day at work so I ate two chicken tenders and probably 2 servings of French fries, I added just a tiny bit of salt to them. No snacking tonight and now it's off to bed! Good luck for tomorrow!

Thanks mis2ninos. It is so hard for me to know if I should conceive ttc this month, or whether I am just trying to convince myself that it is a good idea because I am impatient, sick of the diet and over the exercise! haha.
Your day looks good today. Well done having your mother in law living with you! If it were my husband's family, it would be the stuff nightmares are made of! Joking. They are not that bad, but we have a tolerance of about two nights before it all starts to fall apart.

Been doing better on this diet though I hate the feeling of starvation.
Breakfast has been nothing but coffee with a couple of equals and 1 creamer at around 10:30 - 11
Lunch: white rice with either low cal veggies cooked to death or curry in very small amt.
Dinner: same
Was pretty bad yesterday and snacked on popcorn, pita chips and ice cream :(

Good work odd and welcome back GT77. I have upped my cals to 1800 as I was losing too much weight and I want to be on the diet for another five weeks before our attempt.
I had two pieces of bread with no-fat cottage cheese and a tomato for lunch, a coffee with milk and a no fat yoghurt.
At five I had a coke zero, a couple of rice crackers and a small piece of bread and jam.
For dinner I had some rice, low nutrient veges, a no-fat yoghurt and a small piece of nougat.
It seems like a lot of food, but I was wasting away and I need my cals to be higher. I am hoping most of the food is empty cals.

breakfast: coffee again with 2 equals and 1 creamer (11:00)
lunch: again my fav deli before we leave - had a massive deli sandwich, chips and diet coke - and they were giving away free bite size samples of caramel cinnabons...ooooh, it was so ooey gooey and warm and moist..lol
dinner: small serving of rice and curry as I was pretty stuffed from lunch earlier.
no snacking! YAY :)

I would have caved too, Odd!! Yesterday I only had a coffee and a piece of bread for lunch as I new dinner was going to be massive. We had a bunch of friends over. I love to cook so made a massive feast. I actually only had one plate and not a huge amount of food, but it included some beef and some chicken, and also my friend's DIVINE chocolate mousse cake. I did it justice by having a second small piece. Also had a glass of wine. Very restrained considering it was a red wine tasting night and there were about 11 mystery bottles we were guessing on. I only had a small sip of half of them.
