December's pink food thread!

Yeah, felt fine after the yogurt! Still had a headache but that went away by lunchtime. Maybe I ate less calories than I estimated? I felt hungry before bed, but obviously ignored it.

Rice and veg tonight! That's the plan, anyway.

Glad you're doing better! When I'm just starting to cut my cals, I tend to get really annoying headaches b/c I'm not eating enough. Sounds like that's what happened to you. Eating is the only thing that seems to help me when I get those headaches.

"Breakfast" because I felt really nauseated with a horrible headache and dizzy.
-(6:30am) 0% yogurt (I didn't know what else to do!)

-(8.00am) 1 coffee with soy milk

-Lunch (1.40pm) Reduced fat hummus and skinless cucumber sandwich on weight watchers danish bread and a little cupcake.

-(4.00pm) 2 bitesize cadbury's at work, oops! But they were tiny, so it should be fine...

-(7:00pm) Plain basmati rice (mmm....) with 1 cup grilled veggies, 1 cup green beans, and 100g baby button mushrooms with 2 tsp of soy spread and a little reduced fat cream cheese... yummm. It makes me feel like I'm cheating, but I'm not? Odd. I'm going to be eating mainly rice over pasta now... yum! I only ate a little over half of the amount, though, and saved the rest for lunch tomorrow.

I might have something to add near bed. With the yogurt in the morning, and the cheeky bitesize cadbury, I'm surprised my numbers are what they are, more or less. But I guess swapping out pasta with rice will do that.

Last time I was on this diet I made the switch to rice pasta for the same reason. This time around I've been eating regular pasta mainly because I wanted the extra iron after all the bleeding I had after the m/c, but if I'm on the diet for much longer I think I'll switch to rice pasta again.

lunch: 1 pitta with melted mozzarella on top, 1 mince pie (freebie at work!), 2 quality street chocolates, 1 WW choc slice
5pm (before my uphill walk home): mars bar
tea: sainsbury golden rice and *ahem* a whole pack of Toffiffee!! Once I started I couldn't stop....

7am: coffee
12pm: English muffin with a bit of low fat peanut butter
5pm: jumbo pasta shells stuffed with a mix of canned pumpkin and ricotta cheese, topped with a mix of low sodium tomato sauce and more pumpkin + a sprinkle of mozarella. This sounds a lot better than it was - I saw the recipe in a magazine and thought it sounded good, but it was a little too much pumpkin. I think it would be better if I left the pumpkin out of the tomato sauce and just used it to stuff the shells. The kids loved it, though and it left me waaaay below my limits for protein and sodium! + 2 Peek Freans Lifestyles cookies for dessert
8:30: vanilla frozen yogurt topped with melted frozen raspberries, Mike & Ike candies, a handful of low fat salt & vinegar chips, grapes (yes, it was a big snack today - but necessary because going into it I'd eaten only 800 calories!)
