Lady-Bug for lunch I had some fruit salad then I just ate the insides of the bowl and beater I used to make cupcakes. I felt bad not giving it to the kids but there are always fights over who gets what so I solved the problem for them. The cupcakes aren't for me. I had 5 kids coming and I thought they will eat me out of house and home if I didn't have any other options so out come the ingredience as its so cheap to make. So I've now got 12 little cup cakes cooking going to be hard to resist.
Resist Mildez, resist that delicioulsy sweet cupcake aroma!! Do you know what bubby's gender is, because all your sweet tooth delicacies have me guessing PINK.
Well, ive had to for-go my lentil burgers due to a lack of lentils, and have opted for a beef roast instead (not that I feel like it though, but it was in the freezer). Im going to make my honey sesame carrots (steamed, then flavours applied), baked jacket potatoes with home herbed butter and mint peas with sweet corn. Definatly NOT low fat, but if im good for the rest of the day then it doesn't count, right? ;)
Ive got a massive hankering for tomatoes, as a whole!! I used to eat them like apples when younger (10 years old) then went completely off them. Now ive just bought a 1kg bag and fear that they may be gone by Wednesday :/
I really must boot myself up the bum, and get SUPER healthy so im a SUPER sexy preggie mama, not a SUPER sized one!
Oh I love carrots done like that. My ideas have been over thrown by the rest of the family and we are having chinese :( so hard some times.
Can I join in?
I'm trying really hard to eat healthy, chips and chocolate (which I normally hate!) are my enemy at the moment.
I've cut coke down to 2 or 3 glasses per week and now drink water or cordial (still not ideal but better than coke!)
My main meals aren't too bad, I've started cooking a lot of low fat meals and properly portioned too, it's the snacks that are the problem.
Dinner tonight is lasagne and salad :)
Ooh Chinese, yum yum jax :) Welcome jaycee! Soft drink is my weakness too - I cut out the coke zero due to the caffeine, but I have a bit of sprite zero with cordial for flavour. No sugar in the sprite but I go put the cordial in lol.
Success for me today! Had nothing but fruit between breakfast and lunch, and managed to not have a lemonade and chips after lunch :) Also just realised we have no spurs, so no carbs tonight, just carrots peas and corn.
Hope everyone's having a good day!

Ive been invited out to dinner with a friends...(kids eat free - so why not!).....this will test me lol...
Yep 23 weeks Jax...its absolutely flying!!! My hubby have had the same cravings lately...we've been buying turkish bread and a selection of dips!! Im in love with the beetroot one at the moment. Yummo!!!
Sunny your right on the gender prediction. And talk of tomatos just made me go buy some so tomorrow I might have tomato and pepper toastie. Mmmm bring on lunch tomorrow. And I got some grapes and nectarines for snacks after I ate 2 cupcakes (lucky they were tiny)
Jaycee nice to see you!
LASAGNA, TOMATOES, CHINESE, TINY CUPCAKES.......................IM HUNGRY AGAIN!!!!!
*looks desperately for a bottle of water or some ice to subdue fake hunger pangs*
Welcome Jaycee!! The more the merrier :)
Mildez, god im good! Its my no-fail gender test, seriously!
Im having a girl too Mildez. The only difference between carrying my little girl, to my boys, is that ive gone off tomatoes, chicken and chocolate. So weird for me, because I used to love them!! I have a serious frozen coke/frozen pink fanta craving lately!! Trying to stay away from those...i can only imagine the calories. And yep...major sweet cravings!! Give me sugary icing any day. I could have licked the icing off the birthday cake at the party I went to yesterday LOL
MummaBear I wonder if I would have such a sugar craving if I carried a boy (I have girls and my m/c's were at 8wks or before.)
Well again for breakfast Ive had my sultana bran. I've been weighing myself and so far I haven't gained any weight in 4days (I've actually lost 0.2 or something) I bet its from reducing the cakes I eat. Anyone think there is any way I can not gain more then 4kilos in 12weeks? I'm 86 now and I really would like to stay 90 or under!
So my menu today includes a roast lamb for dinner tonight (will have to miss out on my nightly bowl of icecream) I'll also have to reduce the potatos I eat and have plenty of lamb. I've got my toastie ingredience for lunch and have my fruit which I might spice up with some diet jelly if I go make some now so it will set in time.
How is everyone elses days starting out?
Im doing ok so far. Ive lost 400 grams since i found out i was preg (about a week ago). Dont know how because im so hungry!! Snacks are also my downfall. I snacked on unsalted nuts yesterday, but Im still looking for some more ideas. Its hard, because atm I couldnt think of anything worse than healthy food. But I must soldier on!
Wouldnt mind making some healthy slices to freeze and defrost when needed for a snack. Ill have a look around and see what I can find :)
Evening all,
Mummabear & Mildez-I'm not having anywhere near as much sweet cravings as I did with DS although I don't know what I'm having this time, we'll see.
Mummamia-Healthy food in the first tri is really hard to stomach. I don't think I ate anything green until about 13 weeks. I just wanted salt!!
Hope everyone else is doing well.
Had a pretty good day food wise (minus the few squares of dark chocolate) hopefully I can keep it up tomorrow.
Morning all.
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.
Strangelk how rude of your ob, think I would have walked out!!!
Mildez I have to have that test on Friday NOT HAPPY!!!
I had a good eating day yesterday until 9pm when I made myself some toast because I was feeling sick and thought that it might help. It did :(
Hi girls :)
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. :hug:
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??
Hi MM :) When you due?
We are having rolls with salad and chicken as the in laws are coming over for lunch, fun NOT
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.
