Yum, I'll be off to tesco tomorrow! Really don't think I am and I knew quite early with ds2 (later confirmed by no af and test), just don't feel same this time

Lunch: Wrap with cucumber and tomato, balsamic vinegar and feta cheese (this is my new current fav!)

Mmmm - that sounds yummy! I'll have to give that one a try!

swish - it's all so confusing because signs that af is coming are so similar to signs that you're pregnant. I'll keep crossing my fingers for you!

My plan to have a strict diet day didn't work so well. We went to the farmer's market this morning and we ended up getting Moroccan food. I had 1/4 of a Mahajeb (a flat bread stuffed with spinach and feta - I usually eat a whole one for a meal, so I thought maybe 1/4 wouldn't be too awful), and I also had a few unsalted pita chips dipped in very garlicky hummus. I have no idea of the nutritional info of any of it, so I won't be able to keep careful tabs today after all. I think once you break from the diet once or twice it becomes way too easy to cheat...and soon I'm off to the cottage where it's going to be super hard to keep to the diet (though I'm going to try my best).

Here's my day today:

Breakfast: coffee
Lunch: 1/4 of Mahajeb (Moroccan flat bread stuffed with spinach and feta), a handful of unsalted pita chips dipped in gloriously garlicky hummus
Supper: 2 servings of rice pasta with 1/4 cup of low sodium tomato sauce and 20g of parmesan, Weight Watchers lemon cake, 2 Peek Freans Lifestyle Cookies
Snack (3rd meal): light vanilla ice cream, strawberries, raspberries

Calories: 1206
Protein: 33.4g
Sodium: 628.5mg

It turned out to be not too bad a day. I'm not positive on the nutritional makeup of the Moroccan food, but I found some info on a similar thing online that just didn't have the feta, so I added in the nutritional info for the teeny bit of feta that was in it. The only really bad thing I ate was that hummus, which was so garlicky I can still taste it 10 hours and 2 tooth brushings later.

mydream - sorry you're having a rough time. I have trouble getting my calories up, but I've started adding lots of sweets to my day and I'm getting a bit higher. If I eliminate sweets, I end up with 800 calories a day, which I couldn't live on long term. I do snack in the evening a few hours after supper, but I've started to look at it as my 3rd meal (which is allowed on the diet) so I don't stress about it too much. I still have low blood sugar all night and morning, then all afternoon.
