twosweetlads - I had some goodies cheese puffs on Saturday! Not bad when everybody else is munching on crisps

swish - Was the aubergine puree nice? Were you eating too much or too little pasta before?!

I've just had some strawberries with sweetener and a meringue nest (Tesco Finest meringue nests are yum btw!) as well as a glass of skimmed milk. Tomorrow will be the end of my first week on the girl diet and I'm excited to see how much weight I've lost!!

The aubergine puree was actually really nice!! Dh laughed at me as he ate his chicken in egg and breadcrumbs, pasta and broccoli!! It was a funny colour! I just roasted a whole aubergine in the oven for 40 mins, scooped out the middle and added a bit of lemon.
I was eating WAY too much pasta, I'm not calculating protein etc at all so I thought I should measure the pasta portion. Are the meringues good for the diet?

Zanacal, have you decided to drop the supplements? I'm thinking of doing it but it's a real leap of faith, I wish there were more people who had done it whikst swaying and got a girl

The meringues are just egg whites and sugar which I think is fine - only 52 cals, 0.6g protein and no salt and they're yum with strawberries and sweetener and a dollop of fat free yogurt or a bit of diet squirty cream

I'm still taking Vitex but I'm not taking anything else. I'll take an antihistimine and baby aspirin around our attempt. I would consider Saw P if I wasn't breastfeeding (I don't think I'm ready to stop but I really need to read more about Saw P to see what it does). I wish there was a magic testosterone lowering pill (perhaps that's the Saw P?!) because every time I read about traits of women with high testosterone I feel like they're describing me and I'm not sure anything I ever do will change that! The only other things I was taking were calcium and magnesium and I *think* I'm happy not to bother. I hate taking them because the pills are so big but I'm trying really hard not to let that be a part of my decision lol! I think the whole concept of swaying is a leap of faith and literally everybody takes calc/mag when swaying pink and it doesn't seem to be a deciding factor - lots have girls but lots don't. I don't think I'll ever wonder if it would have made a difference and I've spent far too long worrying about whether the supplements are safe to take in the first place which can't be good either.

I had a melon at 11am... the boys ate 1/4 I ate the rest.

[purplepoet20]

I was out all over town this morning and i was so tempted to eat fast food.... It was killing me but I am proud of myself for going striaght home without wonderful junk food.

Breakfast: coffee, CL
Lunch: plain white rice mixed with a bit of plain non-fat yogurt. Pretty bland, but for some reason my kids loved it when they asked to try some, and requested it for supper tonight!
Snack: Peppermint tea
Supper: skim milk, salad with balsamic vinegar and one piece of boconccini cheese + quiche made with a storebought pie shell (80mg of sodium per serving), eggs, milk, a bit of goat cheese, dried oregano and some cherry tomatoes. It was soooo yummy and one of the more satisfying meals I've had in a long time. It was surprisingly low in sodium, and fit well within my maximum allowance, especially because I kept sodium low the rest of the day. I'm working this one into my regular repertoire, and I'll just change the veggies I add for variety.
Snack: strawberries, peppermint tea
