January Pink Food Thread

Suregena, I am also still breastfeeding and I think you are doing fine. I personally wouldn't decrease any further as you need some extra calories for the BF.

How old is your LO and how often do you still BF if you don't mind me asking? How long did it take you to ovulate for the first time while still BF?

My son turns 2 next weekend. When I'm off work, he has milk when he asks for it, as long as he's already eaten... usually in the morning, before a nap, and once or twice max at night or not at all at night (like last night, when he slept without waking until morning, then had some in the morning.)

I didn't get my period back until September. I'm not sure if it was a period I ovulated for or not, though.

I found it easier to eat 3 meals. My last 'meal' was actually an evening snack, and usually involved empty calories like candy.

This is exactly what I have been doing. It works realy well on the days I can push my first meal till 1pm or even a little later.

My dinner tonight makes me feel like I'm cheating? The cauliflower was of mammoth sized florets, and I did some extra mushrooms because I did so good today in not eating from when I got up (5.30am) until 1.40pm!! All I had was 1 coffee and 1 low cal hot chocolate in the a.m. I managed to restrain myself of munching on jelly beans until my actual lunchtime.

But I did a grocery shop after work and had to haul home so many heavy bags, and I was shaking by the time I got in so naturally wanted extra servings of cauliflower and mushrooms. Then I added chopped tomatoes, too (plain.)

I ended up giving my son about 1/3rd of my rice, though.

But it felt/looked big, but hopefully it doesn't total big. I tried to put it into myfitnesspal and it all looks okay but my dinner felt big!

Oh well.

I'm SUPPOSED to O tomorrow... we'll see.

Rainbow, you might have missed my post below, but I was just wondering where the hot cross buns you keep mentioning are from as they sound yummy?

I've never had a hot cross bun, myself! (American in the UK here.)

oh, sorry I didn't see your other post. I like the half-fat ones from Co-Op! although the one I had tonight was just a regular one from Waitrose
