The LAZY Swayers

[Boymomsrock]

What did everyone have for lunch today? I'm just starting this so I'm trying to figure it out. I had some Fage yogurt with strawberries and I made a cous cows salad with cucumbers and green beans. Exciting huh? :/

For the first time in my life im calorie counting! Today I'd a bowl of strawberries, a diet yogurt, and a rice cake! Not alot but filled the gap!

If it makes any of you feel good for what you are doing, I am probably more lazy than most of you! I am trying to eat mostly differently than I did with my 2 boys. I have been doing this since April waiting for my first PPAF, so it was getting old. I do eat breakfast, just a cup of nonfat yogurt with fruit. I generally am avoiding meat which is very different from what I used to. And I am actually doing less Calcium because with the boys I ate a ton. Wishing pink for everyone!

I like this what are you eating topic, I cheated today and had spaghetti and meatballs for lunch and hamburger for Dinner. AF is here. I need my iron, I start to feel really bad when it gets low during AF. I've done good with no snacking and no breakfast

Hi, I think I probably fit in here too! I'm following the diet, not to a t but not doing too bad. I'm naturally very slim so not noticing weight loss and have no scales but reckon I must be cos I'm eating so much less than I used too. And so differently than I did with my boys. I'm not checking ph levels, or using rephresh, no ions, I am taking folic acid. I think I'm going to do very frequent bd, prob right thru o but not sure.
Where I am confused is this. I normally have plenty of ewcm, for a few days before o. Do I really need to take antihistamine to sway pink. Will I be very dry then? And then will ky etc make it harder to get pregnant? Any advice very welcome!

You don't NEED to take an antihistamine. I didn't and I also had some EWCM. I think I was drier with DS 4 than i was when I conceived DD. There is a luck element involved too of course. It's your call to make.

KY jelly does indeed reduce odds of conception, all lubes do except Preseed and Conceive plus which sway blue.

Genie, that was me to a T! I ate and drank TONS of dairy with all my boys (as did my husband, we usually go thru a gallon of milk a day for ourselves and our older two boys) and with DS 4 I was also taking gobs of cal and mag supps! Then I got DD with both DH and I eating the absolute least amount of dairy ever and taking NO cal-mag supps.

Remember, you do have the option of taking an iron supp rather than doing the red meat, because there is protein, fat, B12, and all sorts of jazz that may sway blue in meat!!

Well I cheated today. I was so shaky and knew dh wasn't gonna be in town for my o time anyway, so I ate two small pieces of pizza. And now I'm drinking a beer. One day won't kill me right?! I'm already eating a LoT different than I normally do which I think is key. Although I feel like m starving! Guess I need to figure out some stuff to eat or just clock what I'm eating better. Sigh.

Thanks atomic, I'll see how much ewcm I have and decide from there. I'm on cd10 now, excited about trying, hoping to get pregnant anyway and if it's a girl it'd be amazing but I'll be so happy with another little boy too.
My diet took a hit this wknd too, I'd 2 nights out- so alcohol involved, and I'd to eat out too. Back on track now.
Atomic, if u see this I've 2 qs- I was on vit b12 supplements with my 2 boys- do you think that may have swayed blue?
And I'll be taking a 3 hour flight right around or after ov. Will this affect things do you think?
Thanks

Pizza is not a cheat!! Many of us had pizza regularly on the LE Diet (and beer as well!) It's the overall diet you follow, lower cal, lower protein, lower fat, lower nutrients, and possibly lower sodium, that sway, not any one food.
