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.
Vent away Mildez, weight gain is a big pressure we put ourselves under. And it never helps when we compare ourselves to other women, because lets face it, we're our own worst critics! Try to not be so hard on yourself hunni
Healthy eating, oh well, its going very well today. Ive had no appetite at all!! Done all my surface cleaning around the house in my nightie and feel the need for a big glass of ice now. Oh wait, and maybe some vegemite toast too........time for some self discipline where necessary!
We had a huge day of swimming yesterday. First we had Harper's swimming lesson (she is doing awesomely well!), then we went over to my folks for a visit and lounged around like hippos in their cool pool. Heavenly! The humidity here in Perth is stifling, thanks to the cyclone business. Oh, and we had a raindance as well outside when it started to shower
Im going for threading tonight, so need to organise a VERY quick and easy dinner! HELP!
How about healthy burgers Sunny? Just need mince to make patties or even better, a tin of beans from the cupboard and work them with tuna and a bit of flour to make tuna patties. THen just whatever salad stuffs you have in the fridge plus bread. Burgers are one of my all time fave foods - except I also like to add a fried egg and cheese. Ooops.
Mildez - hugs for you. Could it possibly be fluid retention? Maybe wait a few more days and try and weigh yourself again.
Now just off to check out this website of Jaycee's
Mildez, it's really depressing when you try so hard and it has the opposite effect to what you want. Starangelk might be right with it being fluid retention though...
My healthy eating the past week has been off and on, I have mostly had healthy meals, but it's the ice-cream here or the biscuit there that has been my downfall. Having said that, from 26 to 28 weeks I only put on 500g which was great! So far I've put on 8kg, I'm hoping to put no more than 12kg on but we'll see how I go.
So, San Choy Bow was delish, even DP loved them!! Definatly making them again soon as they are just so delish, easy and quick to make and bloody good for you too!
I have a major craving right now, Tzatziki (sp?!) dip and pepper flavoured Jatz crackers.......im honestly bad news for this thread!
