That sux PrimalMamma! What a jerk!! 😠

Today started out ok, but tonight wasn't. 😞

10am large flat white

12pm cheese toasted sandwich and sml freddo frog

Then...

Popcorn at the movies and then a steak roll from Oporto after getting home late from the movies.

Not good for keeping sugar levels low straight after our attempt.

I can't see how you would have had bursts of high/stable blood sugar, looks like nowt to worry about from where I'm sitting

Primal - I'm so sorry about the jerk at work!

The scale is moving so slowly lately (< 1 lb per week). I'm getting frustrated because I'm jogging 5.5-7 miles per day and weighing and measuring things very carefully. It seems whether I bump my calories up for a few days (on the weekends I eat more like 1800-2200/day) or drop them down to starvation levels nothing is working! I guess I should be happy my cycles are perfectly regular and all that but I guess I wanted to have a daughter AND be skinny when I got pregnant. Is that too much to ask? LOL

Today's plan:

breakfast - coffee + creamer
lunch - 1.75 cups of japanese fried rice (carrots, edamame, tofu, seaweed), 10 honey wheat pretzel sticks, 1 strawberry banana chia seed packet
dinner - 1 cup of butternut squash ravioli, 1 wedge of laughing cow cinnamon cream cheese spread on top, 2 crescent rolls, 1/2 bottle of wine

1398 calories, 30 grams of fat, 34 grams of protein

well yesterday was SUPER unhealthy, this is not how I like to eat, but it just cant be helped this week. I did my best to make healthy/more LE friendly choices....
520am - coffee with whole milk
11.30am - a banana, a punnet of graze tropical daiquiri (basically a small amount of raisins and dried mango) and a nescafe cafe menu latte (a sachet of dried powder that you add water to for a coffee)
1.30pm - lunch at all bar one - a halloumi and portobello mushroom burger, fries and mayo, plus a large glass of chardonnay
8.00pm - dinner at a curry restaurant - a garlic naan, fish masala and okra side dish, plus a bottle of chardonnay....

approx 2800 cals, 82g (37%) fat and 65g protein

did not sleep well last night due to major stomach pain but it was yummy when I was eating it all. Theatre was good - if anyone has the production near them I recommend for a good laugh - dirty rotten scoundrels.

Today has been all over the place.

10am large flat white

Then snacking on kids shapes biscuits.

Lasange at lunch (meat one) and it made me feel sick.

5pm Mouthful of kids 2 minute noodles

And I don't know what's for dinner yet?! 😕

[Junie]

I have to say that I think the thing I miss most is not thinking about what I eat at all. I have never dieted before this, and when I went to restaurants I used to just order whatever sounded best. I can't imagine people who spend their whole lives on diets it takes so much of the fun out of eating (for me at least). But I'm just trying to remind myself that the goal is a girl and that this isn't a lifetime change.But sometimes it feels like it!

Are you guys doing fiber with meals?

[stephk]

Junie - totally with you!! I miss eating what I want when I want!!

I'm not doing fibre because it's too much money all these supps. But most people are doing it.

[SamS_TTCPink]

I take chitosan when I eat a high fat meal and remember but I'm so hopeless with taking it! 😜
