... but being on the diet at that time may have been the crucial part for growing a girl bean, low blood sugar favouring girls is something which is proven!

My food for today:

Lunch: Apricot croissant, toddler crisps, 2 sweets.
Dinner: Dry fried tortilla wrap topped with roasted yellow courgette, red pepper and mushroom, kids tomato pasta sauce and 30g melted cheddar. This was so good that I can't stop thinking about it - will probably eat it again tomorrow! Bakewell tart for pudding.
Snack: Tutti fruttis (when these kids finally go to bed!!).

I'm so happy for you OotB. Here's hoping there's a healthy pink bean in there!!! Enjoy eating real food again - I'm jealous!

Today wasn't a great day because we were at a friend's cottage for the day. I didn't have a lot of control over meals. I was able to keep my protein low enough, but went way over for sodium:

7am: coffee
1pm: 2 very small pieces of cheese pizza (I sooooo wanted more - my stomach was still grumbling when I finished my tiny portion - but I was good and held off)
5pm: veggie burger, 1/2 piece of wild blueberry tart...and 2 small magic cookie squares (a yummy concoction of condensed milk, coconut, graham crumbs and chocolate chips. ds took one and didn't like it, so before I knew it I had popped it into my mouth to finish it for him. The taboo chocolate tasted so good I'd eaten another before I came to my senses)
10pm: a few small yellow plums

Calories: 1050
Protein: 40g
Sodium: 1400mg (!!!)

I am sooooooooo ready to be done with this diet. I just want to be able to enjoy food again without constantly obsessing over its sodium and protein content. Just 8 more days till I can test. DH will be away on a research trip in the UK, but I don't think I want to wait till he gets back to test.

did not do so well today. I did great this morning...I made it until 11 for breakfast..YAY! but then a good friend came over for dinner and I got side tracked.

7 am- coffee with skim milk
11- butternut squash pasta with goat cheese
230-mini bagel with cream cheese and jam
630- two portabello mushrooms grilled in balsamic, sprinkled with goat cheese lettuce and tomato, sweet potato
8-small piece of yellow cake with custard and berries...I know! Horrible, my friend brought it to dinner and I had to try it!

confession: I also had a glass of wine

not a good day

That cake doesn't sound too bad - sweets are ok on this diet. I also wouldn't worry too much about the wine - I know I've indulged in a glass or two over the past few months, and I didn't concren myself too much about it as long as it didn't become a regular thing.

Where did all your protein and sodium come from? Your food for the day looks pretty good. Maybe you used too much goat cheese with your meals? I bought a kitchen scale and weigh things obsessively. A portion of cheese is often way smaller than you think. Also, a lot of us girls eat rice pasta instead of regular pasta because it has about half the protein.

I still think you're doing great!

I don't think your day sounds bad either PinkPaisley!

Here's my Sunday:

Lunch: Wrap with roasted vegetables, 1/2 tin of tomatoes and feta. Bakewell tart. 2 sweets.
Snack: Strawberry and white chocolate cereal bar (not much cereal, lots of sugar!). 1 sweet.
Dinner: Macaroni and mushrooms with Bisto cheese sauce. WW toffee and honeycomb ice-cream sundae (thanks swish, this was so good!). 1 glass wine

today we were on a city trip, DH wanted to take the boys to McDonalds, so I watched them eat there and then ate a cheese sandwich and a apple-in-a-crost kind of pie afterwards.
Then at dinner I had GF pasta with kid´s tomatosauce with aubergine and zucchini, salad, an activia yoghurt and rice chips (cinnamon sugar flavour), I found these at my store, they´re a nice treat.

NOW I JUST WANT TO SNACK

Hi ladies!!
Sunday was the usual right off for me again!!!
No breakfast
1130 go ahead bar and 1 small piece of toast (don't know why I ate this!!!)
late lunch new potatoes, salad, 3 slices of hallumi cheese (I found out after I probably ate 1200mg sodium in this alone!!), 2 slices of olive ciabatta bread, roasted vegetables. A few pieces of crunchy chocolate. Chocolate brownie ice cream. Oh dear!!!
I shouldn't eat again but I'm hungry so I'm having plain rice with beans and balsamic.
I don't calculate my overall amounts but I think I'm drastically over today, I'll be good tomorrow!!
