Have a great holiday, swish! How long will you be gone? How can I stalk you during your 2WW if you aren't here??!!

[swish]

2 weeks!! I can't wait. I'm going to try not to obsess over 2ww as I felt SO disappointed last time! If I have any exciting news I will find a way to report back!!!
Also, I've decided not to rephresh, I'm a bit nervous about it but hey!! Ican't believe you didn't get bfp this month, I thought if you did I would!!! So silly really!!!

Have a fantastic holiday swish - hopefully you'll be too busy enjoying yourself to even remember you're in the 2ww

Today I had:

Lunch: 2 slices ww bread with low fat cheese slice. Birthday Cake!
Dinner: ww wrap with roasted veg in kids pasta sauce and parmesan. Bakewell tart.
Snack: Cheese & Onion hoola hoops

7am: coffee
12pm: 60g curd cheese (those who've been around here awhile know this is my favourite thing, and very hard for me to resist - I avoid buying it in general, but my impending af made me do it), 2 ears of corn on the cob, yellow plums, 2 sugar free cookies
5:30pm: goat cheese and roasted vegetables on toasted Weight Watchers bread (2 sandwiches), potato leek soup (I found an expensive brand that only has 135mg of sodium per serving. Unfortunately, it wasn't very yummy), canteloupe, Weight Watchers lemon creme cake
9:30pm: low fat vanilla ice cream with fresh raspberries, more curd cheese, peach, Mike & Ike candies

Calories: 1578
Protein: 46g
Sodium: 1500mg (damn that curd cheese...I'll consider this my 'af is coming' treat and try to move on)

Have a fantastic holiday Swish! Can't wait to hear about your BFP news when you get some time to report back!!!

And yes Mocha- I remember you saying something about the curd cheese....I cannot even try it or I'm afraid I'll have to have it too You deserve more than cheese though! You should have totally gotten a BFP this time around. 3rd times a charm, Mama You will catch that eggy this time xoxo

Thanks, DM. AF arrived last night right as I was going to bed, so that explains the eating binge..

More {hugs} mocha.

I'm off out for my meal tonight so I'm not keeping track today. I had a ww wrap with one of my plastic cheese slices and an iced bun at lunchtime and a cereal bar when I got home to keep me going (until 8pm - how will I cope?!). I'm going to eat everything in moderation and not make a pig of myself but at the same time I'm not going to worry a jot about my diet because this one evening won't make an ounce of difference to my sway in 4 weeks time (or longer!).

Exactly! I'm going out with some girlfriends for supper tomorrow night, and I've decided to make it a cheat night. I'll keep vegetarian, but eat whatever takes my fancy on the menu.

[Mochagirl]

7am: coffee
12pm: rice with yogurt, more curd cheese (now it's all gone, thank goodness!)
5pm: rice pasta with butternut squash puree and parmesan, 1/2 a slice of tomato topped with 1/2 a slice of fresh mozzarella (from ds's caprese salad), fresh raspberries & blueberries, chocolate croissant
8pm: grapes, Mike & Ike candies

So....not a great day. If it hadn't been for the curd and the chocolate croissant, I would have been fine. The curd was leftover from yesterday, and I figured it would be a shame to waste it, and the chocolate croissants were an impulse buy today - they're one of my favourite things and they looked sooooooo good. The worst part is they came in a pack of 6. After I ate the one, I packed the others into a plastic container and put them in the basement freezer so hopefully I won't eat anymore for a while.

Calories: 1766 (too many - I think I need to keep closer to 1500 to avoid putting any weight back on)
Protein: 50 (but boy was all that cheese good!)
Sodium: 1200 (could have been way worse all things considered)

Tomorrow night I'm going out for dinner with some girlfriends, so it will likely be another not so great day diet-wise. Luckily, they chose a vegetarian restaurant, so I should be able to pick something that isn't too awful on the diet. I've looked at the menu, and I'm choosing between:

Mediterranean Bean Patties served in a warm pita with roasted vegetables, garlic tahini
lentil cashew burger with pesto mayo and dijon
Spinach and Ricotta Lasagna

My sodium will probably end up high (though I'll eat rice for lunch so I can save most of the 1000mg for supper), but I think I should be able to keep my protein within limits. I'll probably get a drink and dessert, though.

Oooh mocha, that all sounds so good! I think I'd choose the bean patties

I wasn't at all good last night - I managed to only eat a little chicken/chilli with half a jacket potato and some salad then I had a small slice of pavlova, then my friend who made a Tiramisu insisted I try that too! I also had a glass of wine and that all wouldn't have been too bad if I hadn't sat next to a big bowl of cheese & onion kettle chips when we went into the living room! Oh well, I can't uneat it, normal service resumed today
