Stephk, a kilo is nothing! I can put on 3kgs a week just looking at food! And it doesn't come off again either!! 😞

You'll probably also find at lots of it's water from the food you had yesterday that you haven't been eating regularly and it will drop straight off. 👍

Agree with Mum - one kilo is nothing. That can change within two visits to the toilet Don't worry!

hope im doing this right as it seems i eat loads yet theres not many calories altogether.im using my fitness pal and scanning most of the items.
not being too strict on diet yet as i know i will stress too much,not ttc for another 10 weeks so will start getting more strict nearer the time.

[SamS_TTCPink]

Sometimes My Fitness Pal doesn't have the potassium listed for some items but an easy way to up it is by having coconut water.

You could add something else to either your 11am meal or at 5:30 to up your cals a bit. 😊

Mum - I have a husband who gets very moody if we don't have enough date nights. Luckily we have a fantastic babysitter I trust 100% which makes it easier to not feel guilty about leaving! A greyhound is a grapefruit juice and vodka cocktail. So yummy for brunch!

Stephk - Don't feel guilty for living a normal life for a few days. I'm sure it was still LESS than before and that's all that matters. As mum said, it's just water weight. I usually go up 1-2 lbs on the weekends and then it comes back off by Tuesday.

You guys are all being so good I feel bad about cheating yesterday and posting, but I will post yesterday's cheat day just to keep myself honest. BACK ON THE DIET TODAY! Must be good!

Yesterday:
Breakfast - 2 pancakes at my mom's house with syrup and butter
Lunch - Zucchini Grillini sandwich from Jason's deli, lays baked chips
Afternoon -went to a wedding and had half a greek spinach appetizer thing and a half glass of white wine, avoided the rest of the food there so I guess that's a win?
Dinner - 2 slices of hawaiian bbq pizza from pizza hut, glass of sangria

1948 calories, 75 grams of fat, 52 gram of protein.

im not bothered about not having any more calories as i dont think i will lose any weight if i eat more calories,i was just wondering if this looks right what i have tracked.

bluebonnet - doesnt sound like a bad cheat day at all, you did well! It all sounds lovely. I had never heard of a greyhound cocktail but that sounds great, will have to try it

eleena - as mum says, MFP often doesnt contain the potassium info for foods so just dont worry about it and make sure you are eating enough fruit and veg. Coconut water is great for potassium as mum said, and you can also get it from bananas and potatoes.
