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.
Lastnight for dinner we had chicken meatballs with lean chicken mince, zuchini and carrot. I browned them in the frying pan and let them simmer in a tomato based sauce and served them with pasta. My boys inhaled them! They were quite yummy A toastie for lunch sounds like a good plan though! Yum. I have no idea about dinner tonight though. Tomorrow is my shopping day, so we are a bit low on ingredients...will have to have a look at get back to you!
Hi everyone. Thanks so much for your nice comments about my Ob weighing me. I must say though, I probably brought it on myself as originally he asked me what I expected and wanted from the pregnancy/birth and what was I worried about and I stressed I didn't want to put on too much weight. DOH
Dinner tonight here is crispy noodle wombok salad with chicken - YUMMmmm. I bet I an hungry an hour later though, salads don't seem to fill me.
Thanks for the tip on that combo at IGA - will def go in search for that.
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??
Sunny how are you going with the healthy eating today?
How is everyone else going? I've been quiet as I have been working so much. Really over it.
I'm feeling very very sad right now. I'm up another 3 kilos in 13days. Its so ridiculous. I now weigh as much as I did when I had DD#2 was born and I still have over 10weeks to go. At this rate I'll be 40kilos up and I wasn't even thin or trim or happy with my appearance/weight to start with. I haven't been eating cake, chocolate etc all the bad things I thought was putting the weight on for almost 3weeks and I'm now gaining more then I was when I was eating that stuff. I'm doing way more around the house with cleaning, hanging the washing out when I was using the dryer, mopping, vacuuming etc. I don't know what to do. I feel I'm trying so hard and its not making any difference. I don't even have a big belly its only small and squishy so I can't say its in the belly. So today I've had a no fat yogurt for breakfast, some weight watchers fruit salad without the juice and I have weight watches jelly to snack on and a low fat hot chocolate with no milk or extra sugar. I'm of to the fruit store soon but to be honest I feel like giving up. I've got SPD so exercise is very hard for me plsu I'm more active now at work and around the house then I have been all pregnancy and still the weight is going up and up and up. So sorry for the vent. I feel I look so aweful. All I can think about is my gorgeous SIL who looks fabulous is due a month before me and is up 4kilos and all the parties we have and I am going to look like the ugly frump. I have a huge party a week after I;m due for Gran's 80th (family reunion) and then a wedding. both bubs baptisms etc. Arrr
Anyway vent done. I hope the rest of you lovely ladies are going well with the healthy eating/living and not a sad sack like me. I honestly didn't expect it to get to me. After years ttc I thought it wouldn't matter and worry about it later but not its here its aweful. I feel horrible for feeling like this.
