TTC Pink Daily Food Diaries - August

[Mochagirl]

Next Wednesday or Thursday, depending on whether my body decides that late night af arrival is CD1. I'm going to try to stick to the diet well for the next week, but I'm definitely cheating during my next 2WW (I'll still try to keep blood sugar low, which seems to be the important thing during the 2WW, but I'm going to eat garlic and chocolate and not worry as much about protein for those 2 weeks)...I've been on this diet long enough and need a bit of a break if I might end up having to do it another month!

Agreed!

This diet is not helping my body to, ahem, function very easily. What used to take a couple of minutes now takes a couple of hours and my boys can get up to alot of mischief in that time! I'm wondering about taking something to help things along but I'm not sure what's ok!

I'm lucky - I haven't really had that problem. I think it's all the fruit I eat. I know I probably eat more than I should on this diet, but I couldn't do it without fruit!

Ok, well...I pretty much did everything I said I wouldn't today. When I finished my dinner, my calories and sodium were just so low (I was at under 1000 calories and 300mg of sodium) I couldn't stop dreaming about the snacks I could have....

7am: coffee
10am: decaf coffee (better than the cappuccino I usually have when I get together with my friend)
1pm: rice with 1 tbsp yogurt and balsamic vinegar, low fat frozen yogurt bar
5:30pm: rice pasta with 1 tsp homemade pesto and parmesan, 1 piece of bocconcini from ds's salad, Pop Tart
9pm: canteloupe, low fat Pop Chips, Mike & Ike candies

So...not only did I have a bevy of snacks in the evening, but I had garlic for supper. It was soooooooo good, though. That pesto I made had no salt in it, and almost no protein (I left out the pine nuts). Really, the only bad thing in it is garlic, but there's only one garlic clove in the whole recipe. My recipe made about 300g of pesto, and I used 15g tonight...so that's about 1/20th of one clove of garlic. Is that really so bad, do you think? Surely the store-bought tomato pasta sauce I buy has more than that. It just made my supper so much yummier and satisfying, and I could be so much happier on this diet if I could eat it....

I hardly think 1/20th of a clove of garlic will stop you having a girl - I think it's absolutely fine! I think your daily totals are fine too given that you don't want to lose weight - and even if you did!!

Sounds brilliant Tiffany - glad to see you here

Today I had:

Lunch: 2 ww bread, low fat cheese slice, little mayo. Lemon yogurt. Strawberries and meringue with sweetener.
Dinner: Vegetable burger with half fat mozzarella in a wrap. 2 custard creams. 2 boiled sweets.
Snack: I'm going to have a cup of tea with sweetener and 2 Rich Tea biscuits!

I wish I hadn't bothered with the mozzarella on my burger as I couldn't even taste it! I'm taking my biggest 2 boys to the cinema and McDonalds tomorrow as a treat so I'm trying to figure out what I'll eat.

[Mochagirl]

I'm at my mother's house now, and eating stuff I don't have all the nutritional info for, so I'm not going to bother doing my totals this weekend.

7am: coffee
12pm: rice with 1 tbsp plain yogurt, 1 cob of corn
6pm: orzo pasta with butter and romano cheese, steamed broccoli, sherbet, 2 digestive biscuits

I'm going to try to keep from eating too much snacky stuff tonight, though I feel hungry already and it's only 7pm, so it may be a looong night. Tomorrow I'm going out for supper with dh, but I'm going to try to choose somewhere I can get pasta or thin crust pizza. Another night I think my mom's ordering in regular pizza - I'll try my best to eat almost no protein or sodium that day so I can have a piece or two.

zanacal - if I were planning a trip to McDonald's, I'd probably get fries and an ice cream sundae or something like that. I don't think they have many veggie choices other than salads, and they're usually quite high in sodium if you use their dressings. But I love their fries so much, it would be a treat even if that's all I had! Have fun!

Another great day Tiffany! Glad you're doing well at your mum's mocha. I might have to have a pizza of some sort soon!

Today I had:

Cinema: Packet 'light' toffee popcorn, packet Starburst.
McDonalds: Hot Apple Pie!
Dinner: Spaghetti with kids tomato pasta sauce. Raspberry and white chocolate doughnut!

I really did eat alot of crap today! I've started having a cup of tea on alot of days as well as the 2 cups of coffee I have in the morning. I still have 2 sweeteners in it but it stops my tummy from rumbling all evening.
