Don't stress, mocha! Just do the best you can, as long as dh releases every day you're still in for a good chance. I wouldn't worry too much about the sodium, it's the overall picture that counts. Zani, I'm going to go to wit rose and get that pasta, I cN't believe how low in sodium it is. I made the lasagne by layering griddled courgette slices, homemade tomato sauce, lasagne sheet, tiny bit of White sauce made with skimmed milk, low fat moz and a tiny bit if Parmesan. It was a bit of work but you could make a few and freeze them.

It sounds yum swish - I quite like being a bit more adventurous at the weekend (there you go, typical boy mum ). On Sundays I always make a roast dinner and that's difficult - but I've discovered that Aunt Bessies midweek roast potatoes aren't too bad at all and I look for the best vege something-or-other to eat with them. I have a butternut squash pie I think today! I usually spend hours cooking it all from scratch but there's no way I'm doing all that and then not eating any! Sorry AF arrived btw.

mocha - don't worry, that doesn't sound that naughty at all. When you see it all written down you can see you really didn't eat *that* much today. I think you're making the best of a difficult job. When are you due to O again?

How are you today DM?

PS - hubby and kids are in the kitchen eating pains au chocolats for breakfast and they smell amazing! I did by myself an apricot croissant but of course I won't be eating it at breakfast time so that's the only thing keeping me away

Pain au chocolat! That's one of my favourite things...I might just murder dh if he ate one in front of me!

I'm due to O on tues if it's cd12 like usual, or Thurs if I O on Cd 14 like last month. We're driving home tues. We're managing to release every day, but just 1 dtd so far.

It's all going to plan then mocha! If it gets messed up somehow you could always just go twice on the day you get home and use the second batch to get you that baby girl

My fat has probably been a little high today but here's my Sunday:

Lunch: 1/2 vegetarian butternut squash pie, roast potatoes & green beans. Summer fruit crumble (same as last week!) and ice-cream.
Dinner: Cheese topped white bread roll filled with extra light soft cheese, cup of grapes and packet of toddler carrot crisps - then 2 boiled sweets
Supper: Viennese whirl and glass of skimmed milk

I really wanted to eat a couple hundred extra calories today as I've been a steady 1200 most days this week and I need to do that zig-zagging thing to get the better weight losses.

Hi! I decided to have my one blow out meal today as af came
No breakfast
Lunch prezzo pizza!!! Yum!!! I did opt for the light option of flatbread pizza with spinach and mushroom and side salad (a mum with 2 girls on the table next to us ordered the same thing which id make me laugh, I obviously chose the right meal even for a blow out lunch!!! See I'm thinking like a girl mum now!!) she didn't have any of her children's garlic bread or tomato pizza like me but hey! White chocolate jazzies
I plan in having a cucumber wrap later and probably some strawberries.
Back to serious dieting business tomorrow but really need watch my calories as I'm done to 7 st 6 after being I'll, I really don't know hen I was last this weight, probably when I was 14!! So give me a virtual kick if my calories look too low!!!

[zanacal]

Will do swish! Glad you enjoyed it, doesn't sound too much of a blowout anyway!

It's the salt that's the problem, eating out would be ok if you didn't have to worry about hidden salt.

[zanacal]

I think that's meant to be the least important aspect isn't it - and possible that in the Oxford Study girl mums ate less salt just because they ate less overall. IKWYM though, luckily I eat out very rarely these days!

It's DH's birthday in a couple of weeks and he wants an Indian take-away in the evening, not sure what I'll order yet.

[swish]

Indian is tricky because they load it with salt but I guess if you eat nothing with salt for the rest of the day, you could order anything vegetarian, sometimes you can get vegetable sheesh kebab, thatis dry so probably good for low everything diet. I'm going to be jelous of you that day!!
