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

[stephk]

I was going to say - I'm pretty sure pizza express has nutritionals on their website. And you will have an instinct for what is correct. But you haven't had a day off the whole time and surely deserve one. I would guesstimate 700-800 cal, 30g protein and 30g fat for that pizza if it was me.

I have been grazing all day today I'm really enjoying it but this plus the fact I've been so naughty for about 11 days now....pretty worried if I'm not PG. Which I know I'm not. But I'm back on the wagon tomorrow and I've needed the time off.

Well I was wrong - 400 cal, 18g protein, 17g fat. Didn't realise it was the one with a hole in the middle you did really well what are you worried about lol

[weeziewoozles]

You're lovely! I didn't have the low cal one with the hole as I was starving. I had the classic which is normal size one. On their nutrition page they have the larger one listed as 1165 or something! More than the American - the pepperoni one! Hey ho. What's interesting is how it made me feel. I thought I was following the guidelines so felt floored when I looked at their website. If I'd chosen to have their biggest meatiest pizza, I wouldn't have even checked its nutrition.

Oh no I wouldn't have posted it if I had known that!! I really don't think you have had a single day where you have strayed the whole time so I really think you are fine. If you were starving, you needed the food.

Remember cheats are encouraged weeziewoozles! Even though it wasn't intentional, don't stress! 💜😊

Also Weeziewoozles remember if you don't get enough calories your body will think you are starving and will desperately hold onto everything as it will be worried more is not coming. I think you are doing great!

I'm slowly getting back on the diet. Going to add exercise back this week, and start also doing more veggie filled options.

[weeziewoozles]

Funnily enough I only put on a pound yesterday even after the pizza and the row of cheeky caramel chocolate I had after dinner. So I guess the pizza was probably in the middle of those values.

I know treats are allowed (I don't call them cheats). And I know my response exudes Martha qualities! I like working treats into my day but I guess I like being in control of that! For instance I've had five chocolate digestive biscuits with my morning coffee (after a 13hr fast so not toooo early)

Hi ladies, I'm back for a bit while in my 2WW. I've lost freaking 6 lbs since AF, so I'm worried I'm not pg and don't have much weight left to lose. It's hard to be motivated to stay on the diet (especially since I'm going on vacation on Friday!!), but I'll be doing my best.

Weezie - has AF returned yet? The fact that you are so strict on the diet without even having AF is amazing. I can barely stay on the diet and I attempted Saturday so I should be super motivated!

[SamS_TTCPink]

I found it hard to stay on the diet after attempts too, but a few treats won't hurt things too much. Hopefully you'll get your BFP so it won't matter anyway. 😊

[weeziewoozles]

Hi again BlueBonnet. No, no AF yet. I have cut down on the BF though. I didn't want to rush DS3 off the boob but I felt that he wasn't really "eating" but playing more. So I've not been offering it and he's not requested it as much. So in the last two months I've gone from 3 or 4 feeds a day to mostly one before breakfast. If I can wean him off that with a promise of bigger bowls of porridge or more homemade spelt bread, then I should get a cycle soon I think.

Today was ok as I adjusted to allow for the yummy chocolate digestives I had.

Snack - lots of chocolate digestive biscuits
Lunch - French bread with a smear of pesto for flavour, topped with chopped baby tomatoes and a slice of mozzarella. Plus baked crisps and a row from a caramel choc bar
Snack - baked crisps
Dinner - pasta with griddled courgettes, mushrooms and yellow peppers, salad and wine
