TTC Girl daily exercise movivation group!

[afrevert23]

I usually do my exercise in the morning, but we had a playdate scheduled today. I hope to make it to the gym either this afternoon or after dinner.

Is anyone finding it hard to meet the minimum requirements? I just started the diet Thursday. I have been skipping breakfast and stopped snacking completely. Since being on the diet - which hasn't been long, I have only met the calories requirement (1500) once. But even that day, my fat was 35g and my protein 35g. All the other days I have been in the 1100-1300 calorie range. Is this bad? Should I be making sure I'm getting 1500 calories per day? Especially since I am burning 600-700 calories on the TM. I am only eating two meals a day, but I get very full fast. I haven't been drinking wine....I think having a glass or two of wine at night would help me get some empty calories.

We plan on TTC in July/August. I am starting the diet now, but I know I will have some cheat weekends. We are going to Disney World next weekend, and my husband and I have trips planned to Austin in April and San Diego in June. I will still skip breakfast and no snacking while on vacation, but I will probably be relaxed on my meals.

Good luck to all the ladies getting ready to TTC!! Pink dust to everyone!!

Ah no sorry, I mean it does give me the totals in grams too, but you can't set your daily goals in grams, to the exact gram. You have to do it by percentages and that's hard to set it to the exact gram your looking at. Doesn't really matter as I can just look at the total grams as I go along and remember by memory my exact targets

Hi afrevert, yes I struggled meeting the calories whilst hitting the goals. I only started this week so am still jiggling things around, wine is a great way to add calories easily and enjoyably ;-) I traded in a piece of bread or pasta for a baked potato as they are good for calories. I also add vegetable oil to the skin to crisp it and some margarine on top. I can't offer too much help I'm afraid as I'm new to the diet too. It's a good job I have no going away plans as I couldn't help myself if away for a few days!

Chocolate if you don't want to eat too much brown carbs have you tried caulirice? You can make it yourself which I have done, or you can buy it in microwave packs. They do it plain, Indian style or Mediterranean flavour, I found it in Sainsburys this weekend and have yet to try it! Just an idea. I have to be quite resourceful as I can't eat potatoes or fruit!

Oooh, I have always wanted to try caulirice!! Get the feeling if I made it myself I would be put off by the look and smell of it and not eat it, but if it is in a prepared little packet I would love to try it!!

Was it in a refrigerated section in sainsburys? X

[Frilly Lady]

No it was with the unclebens packet rices, right at the bottom of the shelves. I was tempted to do a little jig when I found it but it was too busy . I'm sure I've seen it in Tesco too in the veg stir fry section but that was fresh while Sainsburys is cupboard so can be kept until you need it. I think I will try it tomorrow and let you know what it's like!

I'm finding it so hard this week I have been so busy and active, but have not found the time to fit cardio in
I'm so proud of you ladies who keep coming back here.xxxx

Snap Frilly! My bra is getting a little roomy too! Bit draughty in there now! Don't mind the flat bum thing too much though-think I'm naturally quite flat bummish so just happy to be having a smaller, flat bum!

Thanks for making me feel better about the small (read 'absolutely massive') cheat I had last night!

You're all cracking me up lmbo
