Great idea LMSM. I see you're getting your head back in the swaying game. I'm still around reading lots of blue posts but don't have the time to be as active anymore. Does that mean you'll be gearing up to sway mid 2019?

Haha Mia, at this stage we haven’t had a definite discussion with hubs. I don’t want to pressure him given DD3 is only just 6 m.o ... but have been selling baby stuff off. One, to declutter as my ocd can’t cope with stuff everywhere lol, second because don’t want to hurt if they never get used again even though it’s bittersweet..and third, because it’s actually caused hubs to say things like « you can always buy again/ oh you have another one for WHEN we need it » etc so I think he is somewhat still ok with the idea..and that gives me enough peace not to hound him...yet. Not anywhere near ready myself yet anyhow sooooo in the interim, def want to give myself‘ the very best chance for that ultimate sway. Will get a plan in due course, but meanwhile, trying to read and keep on top of info so can devise my’ planning it’s down to when ttc, so bubs could be born between Jan and June, ttc when S is over 18m.o/6 months post weaning....ideally pregnancy with last trim not in peak of summer ...yes, it makes the window of opportunity small lol

Hope you’re well

Anyway, rambling lol

Will come’ back with meal’odeas FOr our swayers that may be of use

This thread is an awesome idea!! I just started but so far this is what my diet looks like:

Breakfast: oats with mixed nuts (mix contains almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sultanas) with full cream milk. I also have a glass of coconut water.

1st snack: one of the following- plain yoghurt topped with mixed berries and banana, or museli bar with plain yoghurt, or cheese and crackers with cherry tomatoes and green olives

Lunch: either left over dinner (usually veggies and chicken or meat, or lasagne, or mixed bean salad (i add veggies such as capsicum, spring onion, parsley, carrot), or a salad sandwich with tuna.
I also either have a fruit such as an apple or watermelon, or I have a carrot or celery sticks.

Next snack: another fruit with crackers, or bunch of nuts, or peanut butter with crackers, or humus with crackers.

Next snack: once i get home from work, i usually have a glass of V8 juice with cheese

Dinner looks something like this: meat with veggies and brown rice, i replace the brown rice with mash potato, or lentils/beans etc. I try to change the veggies each day, and change meat to chicken or salmon. Or i make beef burgers, lasagne, tacos.

Snack: black tea with a small snack

I usually work out around this time i do arms weight 2 days a week, legs 2 days a week, and also add in cardio 20mins 3 times a week.

I then have a late snack which is either yoghurt (if i havent eaten it that day), or a fruit with some nuts, or a small bowl of oats with full cream milk again.

I also drink about 2L of water throughout the day with lemon.
Some days i make my own smoothie and drink that between snack and meals as well.
I will come back with any new ideas i have and to read others diets as well

Am not swaying yet. But preferably the diet for Our vegetarian diet would be as below.

Morning Snacks: Soaked almond, 2 dates.

Breakfast: green mung and rice mix with vegetable kichadi or semolina upma or wheat ghee paratha with tomatoes chatney and herbal tea made of full fat milk.

Snacks: banana or apple or orange

Lunch: pulses with steam rice , one or two vegetables curry, once in a week paneer curry. Twice in a week curd with rice.

Snacks: roasted nuts (peanuts, cashew, almond, walnut)

Juice: lemon juice and sometime coconut water

Dinner: milk with whole wheat Indian flat bread or puri with veg sabji or millet sweet podridge made with milk. Before sleep one glass of mild sweet warm milk.

Should we add some roasted nuts in middle?

I also want to add half lemon with warm water on morning empty stomach.

Kindly suggest what to reduce/remove or increase/add. Should we add oats anywhere?

I would add more protein into a lot of the snacks you have. Are you vegan or vegetarian? Can you do cheese or eggs? I see you are doing paneer, so I assume yes? Dairy is such a good, blue friendly protein to add whenever you can. If not, maybe more beans/lentils, or brewer's yeast is another good supplement to throw in to bulk up protein in otherwise carb heavy meals. Maybe a smoothie for first snack, for example -- instead of just orange or banana or apple, mix it with some full fat yogurt and maybe some brewer's yeast if you wanted?

Thanks for the suggestion.
BTW, I drink milk and eat milk products. But, no eggs.
