TTC Pink Daily Food Diaries - August

[Mochagirl]

Your diet sounds good, happyheart!

I got another BFN this morning, so I think I'm out this month .

I had my big cheat night last night and it was soooooo yummy, but my poor shrunken stomach suffered for it later!

7am: coffee
12pm: shirataki noodles with low sodium tomato sauce and a pinch of low sodium parm, 2 arrowroot cookies, 1 serving curd cheese, Sour Patch Kids
5pm: corn on the cob
8pm: Greek salad, fries, tzatziki and a veggie pita (YUM!) + a peach for dessert

As you can see, I decided on Greek instead of pizza. I realised that since I was ordering for myself (DH was out of town), I would have to eat only PART of a pizza and save the rest...and I didn't quite trust myself to stop eating once I started. The Greek food was also lower in protein, and the cheating was mostly in the sodium, which I think is the part of the sway that matters the least. My calories were only 400 leading into my big cheat supper, so hopefully I stayed under my limit.

I know you're disappointed mocha but you're really not out at 11dpo, even though I know in your head you should have your BFP by now because that's when you got it with DS3. Why don't you give yourself a break for just a couple of days before you test again? Your Greek food sounds yum!

I think it looks great happyheart!

I'm feeling a bit down about my weight loss. Last week I only lost 1/2lb so I thought this week would be good, but so far only another 1/2lb. There's you ladies eating more to try not to lose weight and still losing and I'm being super good and barely losing any!!

[Mochagirl]

Awww....I'm sorry Z - that must be so frustrating! You've done such an awesome job with the weight loss - maybe you've just hit another plateau. I think no matter what you can feel good about this sway - you've worked sooooo hard to get to this point!

[zanacal]

Yeah, I'll keep at it - maybe I'll lose like 10lb the week after during O week lol!

Food for today:

Lunch: Wrap with extra light cheese spread. Hoola Hoops. French Fancy.
Dinner: Low fat ready meal of pasta with cheese sauce, peas and broccoli (and only 300mg sodium!). 2 Fox's Glacier Fruits.
Snack: Tutti Fruttis

I'll be back on Monday night after Legoland - absolutely no idea what I'll eat there ... and when the boys/hubby are stuffing their faces with the treats I've packed for the hotel room in the evening!

[Mochagirl]

Have a great time at Legoland!

Back to more diet-friendly food today.

6pm: rice pasta with 1/2 serving of pesto and parmesan (sooooo good), lemon gelato
9pm: Chinese coconut bun (I had tons of room in my sodium, protein and calorie budget, so I ate this as a big treat), peach

Calories: 1684
Protein: 38g
Sodium: 853mg

Thank you mocha and zanacal!

I am thinking about you mocha!!!

I am down into the danger zone for sure mocha... I started at 116 and now down to 106. I wish that I hadn't started out so strong on the diet. ugh!

Zanacal ~ you have done an AWESOME job with you weight loss!!!

It's my son's bday tomorrow... we started celebrating early with cake already! Yay.

Have a great day everyone!

I agree, happyheart. If I had one regret it was that I started out with such low calories on the diet, so I lost the weight too quickly. I should have listened to Atomic's recommendation of 1500-1800. In the beginning I wasn't eating the sweets I am now, so I was having trouble breaking 1200 calories a day. Now I have trouble keeping under 1600, but I'm afraid to go over that in case I gain weight!

I completely agree, I wish I had started off within the correct limits, I hope others who start out see our posts and don't make the same mistake, no one should assume they will only be on this diet for 6 weeks!!!! I have out on a few pounds now, I really debated whether this was the right thing to do as I know atomic said ovulation will return anyway, but for me, I feel I needed to put on, once af comes I will eat within the calorie limits. I'm not recording my food at the moment as other than missing breakfast I'm very relaxed and I'm having pretty much what I like. Not looking forward to eating the diet and trying to ach the right limits but I can't wait for af to come!!!!!!!
