December's pink food thread!

Nah - I'll try the kind you like. Have I ever mentioned how awesome you are??

Jen - you're so funny. Here I was expecting you to say you ate half a pizza or a hamburger or something and the best cheat you could come up with was pesto primavera??? I eat pesto all the time - I know the garlic isn't a great idea on the garlic, but come on - you ate a vegetarian meal with perhaps a little more salt and fat than you would normally have, but you only had 6 bites, so I'm sure it made no difference.

You want a cheat?? I'll give you a cheat. When af finally arrives, I'm drowning my sorrows in a deep fried panzerotto. Now THAT's a cheat.....

Oh, and I'd love to try those seaweed snacks if you're serious. Anything I can send you in return? I'll pm you my address.

i was thinking the same thing! 6 bites, no worries, girlie!

Okay, continuation of my confessional, Mocha...They were BIG bites (we're talking massive, !) and there was so much fat, protein and cals in there! And then there was the garlic but who cares about that really when I blew it w/everything else, . OMG...I loooove your cheats...fried panzerotto!!! I think I want to cry...I really want that now! When AF comes, I always make the 1st and sometimes the 2nd day a cheat day; I always have and I always will!

Seaweed will be shipped on Monday!!! Don't worry about me...Just send me a Christmas card if you send those out!

Oooh, that's a good idea. Cheat days... day 1 and 2 of AF. I think I'm going to go with that sort of rule, heh.

8th Dec:
-1 cup instant coffee with 1% unsweetened soy milk
-1 Advent calendar chocolate (not sure how much that is but it wouldn't be very much!)
-1 0% fat yogurt
-1 piece weight watchers danish bread with unsalted butter
-200grams (sort of... more like 150grams... my son ended up wanting my dinner instead of his!) of plain couscous with reduced fat cream cheese, black pepper, a little rosemary, and green beans.

I highly recommend the af arrival cheat - it's what I've done every month of my many (sigh) months on this diet. It somehow softens the blow of af arriving.

I'm feeling really down today and am worried I'm going to have to wait a full week or more for af to arrive before I can get to CD 1 and plan my next attempt. I just want to either get af or a BFP (which I think is sooooo unlikely at this point I doubt I'll waste a test) or af.

I just started my period tonight so I don't want to cheat so early on in the diet... but I will next time! Not the ovulation that is upcoming after this AF but the following AF (in January) will be our official TTC month.

My cycle seems to be shortening more and more each cycle month? It went from 29 days average, to 28 average, to 27 average. Oy

I might be going out for dinner with a girlfriend tonight, so I'll have to cheat a little. I don't know where we're going yet, but I might try to steer her toward places where I could get a vegetarian, low protein option.

I try to get people to go to asian when we go out to eat because then you can get white rice and veggies. it is high in sodium though...

we are leaving for mexico tomorrow for 2 weeks and will be eating out a lot and with loads of family so the diet will be tough!
