Good on you and it must be the sun shining as I felt the same today! It's been a good day works been pretty boring but hey at least I'm lucky enough to have a job and a beautiful healthy family! The house is finally coming together and I'm slowly beginning to understand the calorie/fat intake and went to tesco today and got some fab low cal low fat food so hopefully will be able to rustle up some yummy food during the week.
Also bought some quorn burgers which are nice, think they're prob more high on the protein then what's ideal but figured it's one way of slowly cutting out the meat!

As long as protein is with in the limits then it'll be fine. And you could always make sure the protein in the other food you eat is lower over that day so it balances out

Or even if you go a bit over one day it won't matter too much now and then

That's what I thought I'm just determined not to stress over it. Finding it hard to keep my fat down but after buying some low fat food that is actually easier than I thought. I think I'll harm my sway more stressing over it than if I actually go over it. Think just longs I stick to the cals which Im doing 1500 a day then going a little over the fat or protein every so often or more often than not lol as the case may be May not be a problem
Annoyed today though someone at work bought me a box of chocs to say thanks for helping them and when I got in from work today DH has eaten them all!! I mean not even saved me one! I know I shouldn't be this pissed off about it but I'm really upset!! Thing is I'm so below on my cals today as dinner just went tits up, not even sure why and so thought I'd make them up with a couple of chocs and there's seriously none left!! So angry! He's offered to buy me more but seen as I've been paid and he hasn't and the money hell use will be my wages no point as I'm buying them for myself iykwim? Lol!
Yes I know how crazy I sound but it's stolen chocolate people!!! lol

[motherofboys]

My dh wouldn't dare touch my chocolate ha ha
No I'm lucky he isn't a chocolates person do if he did he'd eat like 1 or 2 and that would be it. But I do get your point, it's not the same buying them for yourself. I'm mainly concentrating on cals too. Although I have switched to lower fat on some products and I figure with out my usual snacking I'm getting much less on the day front anyway. And lowering protein where I can too.
Since I found the list of grade a,b,c,d foods I've found it much easier. And with just 2-3 meals a day I can get in or under the cals. If I'm going to go wrong it will be dinner. Like Tuesday ds2 has requested tacos (thanks Lego movie and taco Tuesdays) so that is mainly meat. I'll allow myself that extra meat that day, a lot if this weeks meals either have no meat or I'm able to discreetly eat less meat than I usually would. But it's so high in everything and I can't stop till I'm stuffed. I feel like I'm having a cheat every week and like that is too often. I guess it isn't a bad thing that my cycles still messed up.

Lol I am still so angry at him think it's just me relying on them to bring my totals up that annoyed me more! Lol! Also was annoyed as had inky done 20 mins on wii fit when he was yelling at me to help as he can't do donned by himself and look after the boys! Mmmm wonder how I do it everyday!
I think you're doing fab! You've done so well to cut out snacking I'm sure meat one day a week isn't going to ruin everything! Am sure there are billions of girl mums out there who have taco Tuesdays! lol!
Have your cycles still not returned to normal? That's pants still means to can enjoy those tacos even more without feeling guilty! Lol!

Yeah I get annoyed when dh 'can't do everything' and it's like 2 things. I mean he is pretty good and I shouldn't complain cos I have friends who's dh won't lift a finger to help but today he was upstairs playing Lego with ds3. I has ds1 moaning at me because he wanted to play on the playstation but they have been given homework for over the holidays. There's an a4 sheet in their books with 5 columns and they have to do 1 task from each column so we said if they do one each Sunday then it's not loads all in one go and they'll soon get through it. But no games till that homework is done on the Sunday. He didn't want to do the homework. But he kept calling me from the front room. Ds 2 was in the dining room doing the home work. But kept calling me to tell me that the laptop had gone wrong or ask how to pronounce something (homework he chose was to find out how to say hello in 10 different languages, so he was using an online translator) and the ds4 is still hardly sleeping with the heat and he is usually really happy but this morning it was all too much and I couldn't put him down so was running from room to room with him on my hip grizzling and sinking his teeth into my shoulder every so often. While trying to get the general day to day stuff done. Then when dh was asked to find something he said "I just wanted 1 day when I didn't have to run around and do loads of stuff and could just relax before I'm back to work tomorrow" gee wouldn't that be nice!
Sounds like a mad house this morning but it honestly isn't that bad, or maybe I'm just used to it lol and it isn't always like that. This afternoon it was much cooler and ds1 and 2 went outside with a ball, dh played playmobil upstairs with ds3 and ds4 finally had a decent nap (2 hours) and as he fell asleep in my I had no choice but to sit and watch friends the entire time lol
My last cycle af arrive at 7dpo. I'm now on cd12. I'm not sure what's going to happen yet as I seem to be getting ready to O but I geared up to O a few times before eventually Oing on like cd32 last cycle so we shall see.

Argh you've just described my DH!! Lol! I shouldn't complain as you say as he is good in general and sooo much better than some of my friends DH's but honestly men really can't multi task!! He was the same as I had work today and he had his ds from previous marriage today too so all three boys and obviously that was too Much! Thing is he moaned that he was stuck indoors as too much hassle to go out which surprised me as usually he's an up and out person! So I suggested he go to an out door event that was on in the next town. He sake the boys if they wanted to go and they didn't so he didn't go! The. Moaned about it when I got home! I told him he's the adult he shouldn't let them dictate!! If he wants to go out then go out!! Lol! Men!!
I try not to moan too often as I know he's good and he's so hands on with the boys but it was just frustrating that I always let him go for a run etc no problem but all of a sudden he can't handle it when I'm in the next room exercising!! Ah well I'm sure tomorrow will be a better day! Lol
Ah agree with friends no matter what if nothing is on friends is fab god knows how many times I've seen them but they are still so funny!! Love it! Glad you took time out today for you too!
Oh hopefully you are o'ing soon! So hard when we just want our bodies to do what it's supposed to be doing and it's not!! Gah! Lol

[motherofboys]

I'm trying to just relax and go with it. I had the same problem last time and I keep telling myself if I hadn't then might have fallen pregnant sooner and would have had ds4. Although I don't want it to take that long again I try to tell myself that it's ok cos I'll get who I'm meant to get, when I'm meant to get him/her.
I have to give him credit. And be extra nice as I haven't yet told him that I've been invited to my friends 40th, in York, we live in kent so it will mean staying over night so he will have all 4 practically all weekend. It's not till February though so ds4 will be about 16 months.
