It was actually really nice and fitted in well with the rest of the family having a barbecue. I think I'm going to add more variety if I don't get pregnant this month as I'm going to go crazy. The one thing I really hate is not snacking!!! The chewing gum and sugar free sweets really don't cut it!!

Breakfast: coffee
Lunch: rice with plain yogurt mixed in, rice milk (I actually bought one of those packets of plain cooked rice that you just microwave for 90 seconds. It only has 10mg of sodium per serving, and it made for a quick and easy lunch)
Supper: Eggplant Parmesan. I skipped the salting the eggplant stage - just dipped the slices in egg whites and Panko bread crumbs (very low sodium), the baked them for about 10 minutes. I mixed 1 cup low sodium tomato sauce with a can of no sodium added tomato sauce and added a few herbs and spices to give it more taste, then layered the cooked eggplant in the baking pan with the sauce and a total of 60g of parmesan and 60g of mozzarella. My kids loved it, and the sodium was surprisingly low for my portion (1/4 of the small pan I made). Diet Fruit Creme cookies for dessert.
Snack: low fat vanilla frozen yogurt, strawberries

Calories: 1344

Your dinner sounds so good mocha! I always use the pouches of microwave rice, doesn't seem worth the palaver just for me otherwise. We're getting quite adventurous now aren't we? I think initially I stuck with very bland, very easy meals because I was worried about high nutrients but now I really think that it's impossible to eat many nutrients, fat or anything else so long as I'm sticking to the daily cals/protein/sodium and eating plenty of simple carbs. I only ever have 1, maybe 2, portions of fruit or veg each day so it's hardly a healthy diet! My bowels confirm this I'm also getting a twitchy eye so often which I think is caused by low potassium - but I'm eating potatoes and tomatoes so avoiding them isn't the magic answer to low potassium either!

Today I've had:

Breakfast: coffee
Lunch: Wrap with low fat soft cheese. Organix carrot sticks (toddler crisps)
Dinner: Roasted mushroom, pepper, courgette and tomato with GF pasta and parmesan. 4 dough balls (everyone else had garlic dip!). Raspberry sorbet.

Dinner was so good and so filling that I can't even think about tonight's snack yet, but I've only had around 900 cals and just over 30g protein so I'll probably have a handful of sweets

I just thought I should add an update to this thread for the benefit of my diet buddies who might not be following the July 2WW thread. Last night I think I had implantation bleeding. I noticed a few streaks of red in my cm last night while getting ready for bed. I panicked, thinking maybe af was coming, but after a bit of Internet research discovered that lots of women have IB as late as 11dpo (it was 10dpo for me). The bleeding stopped overnight, and I had a BFN today, but from the sounds of it I wouldn't expect to get a BFP until about 48 hours after IB anyway. I am so excited and distracted I can't get anything done today, and I'm worried I'm getting my hopes up too much and will have a huge letdown if I don't get my BFP.

Lol at not following the 2ww threads - I'm stalking you I'm so excited and think your symptoms sound incredibly promising. If you don't get your BFP I'll be gutted for you!

[Mochagirl]

Aw, thanks zanacal. No matter what happens I'm going to be following you and swish through your whole journey until we're all holding our little girls in our arms!

[swish]

Lol, I'm stalking you too!!! So excited for you, have a really good feeling about it! Checking on here was the first thing I did when I got home from work!
