January Pink Food Thread

Amari, that's great!!! The stuff you're eating is all GIRL SWAY approved! Fro-yo sounds wonderful right now! Cold Stone Creamery had this one kind of fro-yo and I think it was called "Tart and Tangy" or something like that and it was pink. It was sooooo yummy and the largest size was only 340 cals if I can remember correctly. I'd only eat half and save the rest for the next day if I got that size. It was sugar-free and fat-free I think. I haven't seen it there in a long while so I'm not sure if they've discontinued it or if they're just always out of it. I'm totally craving it right now after seeing that you'll be having fro-yo tonight.

suregena, what do the Meerkats taste like and how much are they just out of interest?

They taste pretty good! You know, not too sweet... more chewy than gummy (probably because of the lack of gelatin in them)... and they're 3 packs for £1.

That sounds wonderful!!!

Regarding the chili powder, I think I've heard that spices like that were okay if you had them once or maybe twice a week but not to make it a daily habit (too many nutrients). I sometime put chipotle powder w/a wee bit of onion powder and I mix it w/plain, non-fat yogurt. It's divine, especially topping something else! It's even better w/garlic but I think that's worse than onions/onion powder for a girl sway so I've given it up.

I really think you're doing a great job!

Well, I guess I've hit the chilli powder end for the week... I've had it in my dinner two nights in a row now!

Tomorrow, um... er, no seasonings this time.

Yes! It's like that but it comes in a tub. We have the squirty stuff too but I've not tried it. It should work just fine for you! Sometimes, if I need a bit of extra cals/protein, I put some low fat cream cheese in there as well and it tastes even better.

Maybe you could make it 3x a week...

Heeheh, don't tempt me!

9am: 1 1/2 cups coffee with soy milk. (One cup was like half a cup.)

Lunch: 3 ryvita crispbreads, dairylea cheese spread, iceberg lettuce, weight watchers cookie pack, and some meerkat jellies.

Dinner: Basmati rice with 2 tbsp reduced fat creme fraiche, 100g (weighed on a scale but it sure didn't look like much...) of cauliflower, some plain tinned tomatoes (about 100g), and chilli powder... and heated up two corn tortillas in a pan WITHOUT butter and just some water to moisten them, as I knew through preplanning that I was going to be low on calories, and had some of the rice stuff in them. Yum, yum!

'dessert' - 1 200ml glass vanilla rice milk, two rice cakes with about 15g or so of weight watchers reduced strawberry jam (which was ALL that was left, anyway! I had only used the stuff once. When I bought it, I got me that and I got my husband a different kind of strawberry jam. HE ATE ALL OF MY JAM!!!!! But the other jam jar is full. What is he, on a DIET or something?!? :P)

Should you force yourself to do the calories? I am not at all hungry, made myself had the rice and salad and was really looking forward to froyo but now not hungry at all, (very unlike myself!). I know if I go get it I will eat it all, and I am supposed to go for a girls night and bring them some, but part of me feels like you should just listen to your body, and the other part says, you're messing with your body so much your body doesn't know what it needs, give it the minimum whether it wants it or not! Sorry, rambling...
