January 2014- Let's record what we are eating!

[stephk]

I am also secretly hoping that the exercise will save the day for me as I do not slack in that department!

weezie - good luck with the transition. It will be a big change for your DS, not just the formula but someone else putting him to bed but he will get there. It will be harder on you than it is on him. Wine is the answer

as I am here, yesterdays food was:
520am - coffee with whole milk
12.30pm - carton of new covent garden tomato and balsamic soup, a pretzel baton, 2 eggs with a little full fat mayo and a salad (leaves, artichokes, roast mushroom, courgette and babycorn).

sounds yum. Of course I will be stalking this thread, I love reading about food, I love looking at food, I love doing the online food shopping and planning meals, I love eating food!!

We are going for lunch in cafe rouge in half an hour for a colleague who is going on maternity leave. Her DS was born a couple of months after my DS. Needless to say I am so jealous that she got PG by accident just before she came back from mat leave!!! She is having a surprise but I know its going to be a girl to make me double jealous (of course I am happy for her too)

So - I had my usual coffee at 520am, I had a nescafe cafe latte sachet just now to get me through until we actually eat and for lunch I will be having a croque monsieur with fries! I have some of that natural yoghurt a banana and some strawberries to eat at some point this avvo too.

Dinner tonight is a linda mccartney sweet potato, spinach & quinoa kiev with some broccoli & cauliflower cheese gratin and roast mushrooms.

BUT - world cup starts tonight and we are going away tomorrow to visit friends so its practically friday, therefore I might drink and/or snack after dinner

stephk - enjoy your weekend!

To the other ladies - you guys are all so healthy and put my menus to shame. I'm almost embarassed to post this here! I have decided to live as vegetarian as I can (while avoiding red meat nearly all the time and healthy foods like eggs, etc). That being said, I will not be avoiding small amounts of seafood and chicken IF they fit in my daily totals and IF it's only one serving per day. I started panicking thinking I might be on this diet for 6 months so I need to make it liveable for me!

Yesterday:

Breakfast - coffee with creamer
Lunch - takeaway sushi from the grocery store - blue crab roll with blue crab meat, avocado and a small amount of spicy mayo
Dinner - 2 slices of brooklyn style pizza from Domino's with mushrooms and green peppers, 1/2 bottle of white wine

Totals: 1392 calories, 35 grams of fat, 43 grams of protein

I'm going on a bachelorette weekend today (I think it's the same as a hen weekend?) until Sunday so I won't be posting, tracking, or thinking about LE! Quite excited for a little break ! Keep up the good work ladies - you guys are all rock stars on this diet and give me such inspiration to keep going.
