hey ladies... would love some feedback on my SWAY!

So the time for my first attempt is slowly creeping up..
Yes i have another 3months to go, and i wanted an update on my sway to see if there are any changed I need to make.. so pleeeease girls let me know!

The supps I am taking so far are:
Multivitamins x 1 ( 400mcg of folic acid in this)
brewers yeast 1000mg x1
wheatgrass 500mg x 1
folic acid 1000mcg x 2
coQ10 670mg x1
Fish Oil-1000mg ( i did take 2000mg but brought it back down recently)
( LET ME KNOW IF I COULD UP OR DOWN ANYTHING)

now for beverages... I have V-8 everyday with 1Tbspn of Beef gelatin mixed in.
I have 2 teabags of green tea with a whole or sometimes half a lemon juice squeezed in there and this i mix into 1 litre of water.. (the lemon i know isnt a huge swaying factor but Im a lemon fan!)

I have a smoothie everyday with a cup of frozen berries, 1 cup Orange juice, raw eggs 1 or 2, full fat yoghurt dash of milk and 1-2tbspn of Coconut Oil, (sometimes I add in almonds or spinach or banana)
I have 1/4cup of almonds daily wth 3 dates.
My overall diet usually consists of Oatmeal with peanut butter cereal sometimes Quaker granola and oats cereal with ALmonds and raisins. We love our salmon and tuna.
Chicken breast is always on the list.. We do eat red meat but not so much.. I wasnt sure if i should increase this.. Larabar every day, cheese and crackers with tomatoes.

exercise is treadmill 30-40mins, and do Upper arms with 20lbs weight.. or soemtimes i do 20-25mins on treadmill and do squats 4 sets of 12. it varies

I recently started drinking the BOLTHOUSE FARMS GREEN GOODNESS SMOOTHIE.. i wasnt sure if it was good for a blue sway but its tasty.. the smoothie consists of:

Spirulina 503mg
chlorella 1550mg
green tea 403mg
brocolli 385mg
spinach 385mg
barley grass 286mg
wheat grass 286mg
blue green algae 197mg
echinacae 197mg
garlic 197mg
jerusalem artichoke 17mg
lemon bioflavanoids 17mg
nova scotia dulse a hint
162mg zinc
13200mcg magnese
iron 6480mcg
folic acid 240mcg
Vitamin A 21000iu
Vitamin B6 1800mcg
Vitamin C 896mg.

Sorry that was a long one!

Im trying my bestest to have atleast 8servings of fruit and veg usually its 9-11.(zico coconut water 1 a day)

Please would love some feedback!!

Sounds good to me! I am ttc pink but when I conceived my boys I took multivitamins daily with cod liver oil tablets (the high dose). Was never a big breakfast eater but would grab some fruit when hungry, lunch would be a sandwich, cheese, cheese and ham, salad, for dinner I would cook meat veg and potatoes almost daily, lasagne weekly (DH loves his red meat). I'm not an adventurous chef but ate a lot of protein, veg and potatoes. Hope this may help?

Lol anchor I bloody hope so! There are some things I cannot wait to drop that's IF I fall preggers right away!! the protein shake I like its just that horrendous beef gelatin.. Are you swaying blue or pink I noticed a thread you had up about taking vitex and soy etc are they not good for pink ?

I mentioned this to you in another thread already but for anyone else who was wondering, the Green Goodness smoothies are ok, but the algaes in them are kind of a big unknown in terms of safety - I would not do them more than 2x a week.

They also have A LOT of Vit. A in them, so if you were already taking Vit. A in your supplement you might get too much. Vit. A through foods is typically ok, but again those algaes are not eaten that much and so who knows how they really act in the body. Some people are also doing cod liver oil with high dose of Vit. A in them, and I think the combo of Vit. A in a multivitamin, the Green Goodness every day, cod liver oil, could be too much Vit. A. Vit A in high dose can cause birth defects.

I like to stick to the supps that give the most bang for the buck. Some of the supps advised on other sites are not safe.

Also there is a similar product by "Naked" juice which is also tasty. I think it's a little more affordable than the Bolthouse brand - seems to go on sale more.

I am swaying for a healthy sticky egg! I've dropped the soy iso's but I just introduced the vitex recently to even out my hormones. Just trying to make myself a fertile myrtle!
