welcome back gt and good luck to you this month!! this weekend wasn't good for me. ive had Chinese food, a deli sub and pizza. looking forward to starting over tomorrow. boymama those are my weakest situations too especially going after having starved all week.

[boymama]

I know! But I knew what it was going to be like and just accepted that I was going to have a wonderful dinner and tried not to stress about it. Yesterday we went to a BBQ, but I ate some bread and a glass of no fat milk before we went and just had salad when I was there. No one seemed to notice. One of the salads was a potato salad, but I only had a little bit.

For dinner I had a small amount of pasta with low sodium, low fat sauce, a yoghurt and a couple of rice crackers.

Good luck today everyone!

boymama have u decided to give it a go and ttc this cycle?

[boymama]

If it is a short cycle, no. If it is a long cycle, maybe.

I have been taking vitex and this last AF has been really weird. I usually only have AF for 5-7 days and it is CD 12 and I am still spotting and no line AT ALL on OPK (I usually get a bit of a fade in). I am not sure what is going on. If it goes like this for another couple of weeks, I think I will give it a go, but if I stick to my normal 30ish day cycle, I am going to wait until next month.

Atomic said that it was a better idea to stick it out for another month and up calories but keep the intense exercise going. That is the plan at the moment.

Today was the first day in over a week that I woke up energised and without a sore throat and feeling like staying in bed all day so I am feeling a lot more positive!

It is only mid afternoon here and so far today I have had some green beans and half a pita bread with a coffee for lunch. Dinner will be pasta as it normally is.

Good luck to everyone else.

How long until everyone has their attempts?

My day was not good on eating and I am taking clomid, so I think I just didn't feel like eating. Now that is kind of a good thing, but def not a good thing since I know I do need some fat in my diet. I did have 1/2 bagel with ff cream cheese and some jelly beans. And for dinner I had some more jelly beans, and 1 matzoh with ff cream cheese & jelly. I am going to eat something else since that really is to little calories for the day. I am hoping my 4th day on clomid, maybe makes me more hungry!! How are you guys doing? Bgtorres that is awesome your attempt will be soo soon, our attempt will be this weekend!! Kind of crazy, i hope it works!

[boymama]

Good luck Bgtorres and GT77!!

I had a good day today. Lunch was a pita with some mushrooms and a coffee. Dinner was pasta with cauliflower, vege sauce and some no fat cottage cheese. I am full!

I wasn't hungry at all today. Some days I am ravenous by 7am and others are like today. I wish more were like today...

I'm so glad I gave myself an extra month to prep for tic - this tracking of food has been a real eye opener - I'm able to keep my protein under limit but that's pretty much it!! Keeping a tab on snacking has been better. It's gradully decreasing.

I was gonna be out all day so had tea and a pb&j sammich w/ oatmeal bread
very late lunch/dinner was a deal from pizza hut..they had a $5 deal for personal pan pizza along with garlic bread and a drink lol so kiddo and I shared the meal. we both had 2 very tiny pieces of pizza each and 1 garlic bread along with diet coke.

I had a chocolate chip graonla bar for snack around 9 coz i was starvvvving

I find myself this week being extra strict because I know my attempt is this weekend. I have also been very stressed out with work so that actually has made the past few weeks fly by. I haven't eaten as much as I would have and it made the diet just really easy for me. I was so busy i had no time for snacking...
Today I had a bagel and low fat cream cheese and for dinner couscous and unsalted butter tsb, and 1lb or roasted cauliflower. And, some candy. I actually a little hungry so i am going to have something else tonight. I really pray that it works and I can have a little girl after all this.
