Cauliflower rice sounds like a good alternative, thanks.
Failed this am, it's my 1 day a week where my 3 year old doesn't have pre school so we go swimming and eat there. Just had 3 mini pancakes topped with quinoa, few blueberries and hazelnuts, yoghurt and a drizzle of maple syrup, soo yum! Better than a sausage bap or burger though which I'd usually have and is sort of girl friendly ish.

Chocolate - that doesn't sound like a fail at all?! I've just had a vegetable thai red curry for lunch with some sweet potato and feta style cheese post run. Pre run was some low fat Greek yogurt with a drop of agave nectar and two crumpets with some butter. I'm drinking a lot of coffee, taking fibre with most meals and doing 6 days a week of 55mins + cardio.x

Well I guess it's pretty close to the groups etc. I'm doing the Pcos one and taking metformin so not sure the maple syrup and white pancakes really fit it, but it was soo nice! Do you take the sachet fibre with water? I'm finding that I eat a big meal like a baked potato etc. And have a glass of water with my metformin and then a glass of the fibre mix and it makes me feel really bloated and yucky.

Finally joining you ladies regularly! I picked up an exercise bike this morning and did 20 minutes of cycling. Not long enough I know but I've realized that it probably won't be possible to do it with my 1 and 2 year old awake and in the room with me. I was hoping they would play around and watch TV but they were drawn to the bike and tried climbing on it while I was biking. So I gave up after 20 minutes. I think I'll try to do it in the evenings after the kids are in bed, around 8pm. Later than I would like but I'm thinking it will make me feel less guilty about plopping my butt on the couch as soon as they go to bed like I usually do. I'll try again in the morning another day, maybe the novelty of it will wear off and they will ignore me.

chocolate - I think the maple syrup is ok but the white flour pancakes, not so much. As a treat once a week or so though, I think it's ok! I'm on the PCOS diet as well and was looking forward to having white pancakes and waffles often. I love them! But I think as long as I stay within my limits for the day overall, pancakes once in a while isn't going to hurt. What are you using for fiber? I have to pick some up today and get started on it.

I'm hoping my Oh will put our bike together tonight, an hour is going to be a chore though and is much easier if the kids are in bed as they need something every 2 mins ;-) I don't think I have this Pcos Le diet sussed too well, have some principles of the usual Le diet ingrained in my mind so want to avoid nutritious whole grains and protein from meat. I'm Def. Feeling a bit weak and pathetic though eating this way etc. So I'm hoping that's a good sign. I am using fybogel as I think it hasn't got any added vitamins etc.

Getting back on it tonight!! No excuses. Naughty again last night, no exercise for me oops. Having it tonight though! Gearing up for a garage TM session with 'The Brits' on the telly. Be shakin my tush like the fifth member of Little Mix!

Diet been pretty good generally so at least I'm not a total failure!

Anyone got any motivational tips? My best trick is to put my exercise stuff on earlier than I need to. For such a lazy lump like me, even the thought of getting changed on these cold, dark nights is off putting. Squeezing myself into my lycra nice and early makes it harder to say no to exercise!!

Please share your motivational ideas ladies!

Chocolate, I'm taking fibre supplements in tablet form - psyllium husks. Haven't noticed any bloating problems. Might be worth a try if you can have these on PCOS diet? I used to use fybogel for IBS years ago. Not unpleasant tasting but can take a bit of chugging down!

[chocolate]

Oh great thanks glitter mouse, didn't realise they did them in tablet form, will try them if it doesn't settle.
I have done my 60 mins, I think I only manage it as I get to go to a gym and it's a bit of me time,.Maybe join a gym for a 3 month membership? I feel better doing my exercise after my evening meal as I have energy then but sometimes I have to do it during the morning which is hard

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!

The fresh cauli rice in tesco is good but you're right it does go off quite quickly. It is yum though and recommend it mixed into risotto, pasta, as a side. Like the thought of you doing a little jig. Any excuse for a bit of cardio eh?!

Need to give your packaged one a try. Thanks for the tip off!

Only managed 50 mins on the tm tonight, my feet hurt with every step. Been on them all day and they are throbbing as I sit here watching the Brits! I did have an hours walk with the dog though and did some gardening so I don't feel too bad. Now for the caulirice, it was ok but just ok not as nice as fresh. I had it with mushroom stroganoff and left half because I couldn't eat it on its own. If I have it in future I will mix it with something with a lot of flavour so it's not too noticeable.

Chocolate I'd definitely try the tablet form it's the only one that doesn't upset me, I use Chitosan from H&B. Got a lovely recipe for pancakes made with spelt flour if you're tempted.

Welcome Beau, 20 mins is a good start, bless your little ones but I bet it was funny!

You're doing great GlitterMouse try not to think about the excercise too much, when I do it gets me down a little. I find excercise in the morning really hard my best time of day is around 4 then I know when I've finished I get to make and eat dinner. Also knowing I have something to watch on my iPad makes it more bare able.

[chocolate]

Oh yes please to any pancake recipe as I could have that alongside some strawberries and yoghurt and sweetener sprinkled on top :-)
