Those cheat days probably didn't screw you up at all so no worries, Purple! YAY for CD1...I'm totally jealous, lol.

Thanks, Jen!

Lunch went great today (: I'm actually grocery shopping tomorrow so I'm trying to come up with one or two more meals. This week all I had was veggie burgers, rice and veggie stir frys and pita sandwiches. I just want to add more variety! Maybe some pasta dishes and something else.

Trader Joe's shoppers, have you seen they have corn pasta? I don't like it as much as regular pasta, but it is good to add to the mix, especially when you eat a whole cup as I do as it has less protein than the regular kind!

Thanks OOTB. I can't believe natural girl-swayers eat like this! It's no wonder I have 3 boys, I LOVE food, eating out, fast food, snacks, sugary sweets and FLAVOR!!!

Amari - I haven't seen the corn pasta, I'll have to look for that.

It's a quiet day on the food thread. I guess we're all so busy eating we just don't have time to type, right? HA!!!

I didn't food-journal on Wednesday since it was such a debacle (the infamous Cookie Dough Dip Cheat Day of 2012), but I'm back on track. I'm still doing all of my supps (Vitex morning and night, Saw Palmetto morning and night, two Trader Joe's Psyllium Husk capsules a day, sometimes a couple of Chitosan before dinner -- it depends if I remember -- folic acid and acidophilus. I've also started taking baby aspirin.

Food-wise, here's the past couple of days:

Feb. 2
caramel rice cake
no-salt-added green beans
Atomic's fake stroganoff (I didn't have as many mushrooms on hand as I have before, so I used less sour cream -- the values are therefore lower than they've been in the past)
jelly and light margarine on two slices of white Wonder bread
two egg whites and mayo on one slice of white Wonder bread
5 "hint of salt" Ritz crackers with 1 T. hummus
8 oz. wine
four s'mores (sooooo good!)
two Diet Cokes

Feb. 3
sugar-free gum
several Crystal Lights
Atomic's fake stroganoff
green beans
two caramel rice cakes
jelly and light margarine on two slices of white Wonder bread
two egg whites and mayo on one slice of white Wonder bread
1 oz. Trader Joe's unsalted tortilla chips with 2 T. Paul Newman's mild salsa
4 Snackwell fat-free devil's food cookies
Whachamacallit candy bar

The weight is creeping off gradually. I started the diet 36 days ago at 107 pounds (I think that's just under 7.7 stone for you UK gals) and this morning I weighed in at 102.4 (or 7.3 stone). A self-flagellating part of my brain would like to see myself drop below 100 before my first try (I tended to be around 98 lbs. in high school and college and was probably 101 or 102 when I conceived our first son) ... but today is cycle day 1, so I'm not likely to shed another 2.5 pounds in two weeks. It'll be what it'll be, I guess.

I have today's meals planned and it's all lookin' quite familiar (more stroganoff, more green beans, more rice cakes, more eggs/mayo/bread, more s'mores, more wine ... I'll also make some mushroom and rice stir fry tonight, as I haven't done rice in a couple weeks now). It's a rare day that I don't do the eggs/mayo/bread combo and then I usually rotate through Atomic's fake stroganoff or rice and mushroom stirfry or a veggie burger as a main entree. *grunt* I'm at least a month away from the possibility of a BFP ... I think I can, I think I can, I think I can ...

I'LL have to try atomic's stroganoff! I made a pasta dish tonight. Angel hair, sautéed some mushrooms in canola, added no sodium diced tomatoes, little balsamic vinegar, tossed it all and a little grated parm. It wasn't bad and easy for sure. Oh and I tried the devils food cake cookies! Yum. I had two after dinner.

So chocolate is ok to have every so often? Bc I know I'll want some on v day lol

Here's the company's link about them: NabiscoWorld

One cookie is 50 calories, 1g protein (the package actually says <1g), 25 mg sodium and no fat. On the list of ingredients, cocoa doesn't show up until sixth (it's preceded by sugar, flour, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup and skim milk), so I figure there probably aren't crazy-healthy amounts of chocolate in them. I add them to my diet on quite a few days, since it doesn't bump up my fat content ... and they're darn yummy!
