Damn that purple reply to thread button - just wrote out a big reply and it's gone! Grrrrrrr!
Belfie: Big for you - that must be awful feeling that bad all the time, maybe a trip to the dietician/nutritionist would be a good idea, couldn't hurt at least. Hope you get some answers soon.
Dr Tal to you too, sinus infections are so bad, you poor thing. Hope you're on the mend
Cherished:I remember feeling tired all the time when pg with DS, I'd prescribe some rest and then some more rest then after you've had a rest do some random lunchbox thieving.
Krystals: I am liking the look of your food plan (especially the S&Vs)
AFM: Well, you should all get a load of what I'm eating right now, giant sized bowl of lettuce (I am lettuce obsessed) with half an avocado, half a capsicum, 2 tomatoes, 2 mushrooms, half a cucumber, with good olive oil and white wine vinegar. YUMYUMYUM. and for a snack I had organic sulphur dioxide free dried apricots, organic sultanas and raw cashews. This baby is loving healthy healthy stuff at the moment, I might go for some more salad. DP reminded me that i went salad mad with DS but all I remember eating with him was fish and chips and "chicken schnitzel sandwich with swiss cheese on dark rye please" my standard lunch order - hee hee
Kirsten I wish I was addicted to lettuce! salad is dh's fav food so I eat it with at least one meal a day, I do enjoy it but cricky sometimes I've just had enough! It's a very healthy craving to have though.
AFM today I worked out our weeks meal plan, it actually took ages but well worth it. Now I don't have to think about what to make woohooo. Tonight is prob the most unhealthy meal though its a pasta/vegi bake of which I have just realised that I forgot to put broccoli in Far out I am tired! I had about 11 hours sleep last night and a nana nap today. I don't know how I managed to do all the house work, go shopping and even make dinner. I can't imagine pregnancy #2 will be much fun when I don't have these opportunities to rest. My hat goes off to all of you who are running around after other children.
Hi Girls! Good on you for getting your meal plan done for the week cherished! We write a rough one each week for shopping purposes, but then more often than not decide to mix it up again by the time the food is in the fridge! Tonight is my SIL's impossible quiche- no base! with chicken mushroom and parsley- would have loved to have asparagus, but we live 45 minutes from the supermarket!
The last couple of days I've struggled to stay inline with my meal plans, but have been proud that I haven't strayed too much- Have had some family dramas but am proud that the worst thing I have eaten was a packet pasta- macaroni cheese. Not stressed about the pasta or cheese so much, just the fact that it was a packet meal!!! I'm usually not so lazy with food and both hubby and I prefer to make things from scratch. I don't really like eating numbers or words I can't pronounce! I ended up not eating dinner last night which was naughty, so was famished this morning at breakfast! Luckily hubby cooks and divvy's the porridge, so I didn't get a chance to overreat I didn't walk yesterday or today- I ended up taking the afternoon off work and sleeping for 3 hours!!! Will walk Ella tomorrow morning and if I'm feeling good might go a little further or longer than I usually do.
I hope everyone has a good weekend with lots of energy!
Hi everyone else! Dr Tal, hope you are feeling better today.
I have to admit that all your meal plans made me reflect on what I have been eating. Most days I am generally ok however I think its the after dinner snacks that I struggle with! DH loves his chocolate so there is always some around which just sucks. I might have to implement a no chocolate in the house rule for a while to get me through.
Sorry I won't have any personals in this reply. Too many to catch up on.
Finally seem to have the sinus infection on the downhill slope. My head no longer feels like it's going to split in to and I am no longer blowing green chunky bits!! Also on the SUPER WOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O oh, did I mention WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO side of things. I'VE BEEN MORNING SICKNESS AND VOMIT FREE FOR TWO WHOLE WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So now that I seem to be on the mend, and potentially don't need to worry about vomiting every half hour I am looking forward to getting in some shopping on the weekend and hopefully cooking some nice healthy meals. Will try to keep popping in more regularly then what I have over the past couple of weeks
