Hmmm... carrot sticks with dip sounds good! Might add that to the shopping list
My vegies are simple, steam then mash the potato lol. I really can't be bothered getting fancy, and by the time I get home from work I just want it to be quick and easy and that's the easiest.
I think my tiredness is more mental, from work, so really a walk should do me good. I'll get on it tonight!
YAY Jax, so happy to see you here! How is your pregnancy going?? Well done on the 1kg weight gain..thats really good.
Im with you girls on the tiredness! I feel like a zombie all day which I think is part of me being a bit 'slack' in the kitchen at night. Maybe I should take advantage of my slow cooker and cook during the day! I was so tired lastnight, I cooked the boys a meal (chicken schnitzel, pasta and vege) and I ended up having vegemite on toast. How lazy is that! lol We did go to a birthday party yesterday and ofcourse I ate too much rubbish. Back to being healthy today!!
Now what to cook for dinner...lentil burgers sounds yummy! I used to cook those all the time when I was losing heaps of weight. I got the recipe off the Biggest Loser website. Yum...sounds good!
Lady-bug sounds like you had a great day avoiding the crappy food. I had the GTT yesterday. I could have cried when they gave me the glucose drink which had 75grams of sugar in it. Why couldn't I just eat 75gms sugar mars bars? Atleast I would have enjoyed it. The drink was gross and all that sugar for no enjoyment. So the damage that was done from that would have really hurt. I wont get on the scales for a week now. I checked the sugar content in a chocolate bar I've been resisting for almost a week now and it only had 17grams of sugar (so I ate it to)
So today I'm back on the bandwagon determined to behave myself and eat the right things. Yet to have breakfast but will have my sultana bran and fruit today, maybe another toastie (that was more filling then I expected) then maybe I should eat alot of carrot sticks with fat free dip.
MM I found healthy food in the first trimester hard to tolerate also. Healthy slice sounds tasty.
Mildez - that's hilarious about the sugar content in that drink. You are RIGHT, why can't we just eat mars bars instead of drinking that yukky liquid? Our way would be much more fun!
In my last pregnancy my Ob was quite cranky with me at some points about my weight. I lost 3kgs in the first trimester so by 20 weeks had only just put that back on and was back to my start weight. We got to my 24 week appointment and I had put on 4kg and he asked me how many times I was going through the McDonald's drive through!!! DH and the Ob had a good old laugh at my expense. Not funny. So that's why this time this group is going to be awesome.
oh wow starangelk, your OB sounds like the same one i had when i was preg with DD. She used to say things like "go home and stop eating". Insensitive little so and so's.
Hi Jax!!
afm - I had spag bol for tea lastnight. It was made very healthy with zuchini, carrot, lean mince etc. Though, my portion was way too big Its abit cooler here today, so going to have some healthy soup for lunch. What is everyone else having??
Yes some people can be so insensitive with the weight gain. When I see the Ob I see the midwife first (I work with her also at the local hospital) when I told her my weight yesterday (as I weigh myself and let her know) she said Oh Rachel you haven't! Worst of all is a week before I was almost a kilo heavier as I'd started watching what I eat. So at 21+6wks I was 81 and at 27+6 I was 86 (kilos in 6weeks although less then a wk before I was 87) My aim is to only gain 1kilo FX when I next go in at 32weeks. Gee I hope so anyway. I'd love to stay under 90kilos but there is no way I will with 12weeks to go. Its a nice thought but.
MM your spag bowl sounds healthy. I have no idea what to eat tonight. I'm working and would love to have meatballs with salad but I don't feel like going to shop for the ingredience. Went to visit my Nan who always has lots of bickies and slices and managed to not eat any except a lamington which I cut into 4 pieces and only had 1/4th of a piece. Then I just got home and had a No fat yogurt. Nan also gave me tomatoes and freshly picked corn so maybe one of those will be on tonights menu.
How is everyone?? I've been craving anything sweet and lots of it for about a week and I keep giving in! I just can't find anything that satisfies (sp?) the sweet craving that is kinda healthy. Apart from that I have been eating well and exercising.
I made the lentil burgers, and ate them ALL in the same day!! What a healthy glutenous piggy I am!!
Lady Bug, freeze fruit like apricots etc. Makes a refreshing change and is suoer dopper yummo.
Its been a naughty week in our house, so naughty I just don't have the guts to divulge our weekly menu :/
But.......Caesar salad for tea tonight to kickstart our healthy eating again...........whats everyone else gobbling for their dinners??
