hi all.. thanks everyone for taking the time to read and make suggestions!
Hotl - i am presuming the BMI is a "now" BMI, rather than at the end of the pregnancy, lord help me if it is!! Ill be in strife! When the OB weighed my in his office, i had my runners and all my clothes on so his calculations are slightly higher than mine. Id weighed that morning just in underwear.. thats the weight i gave the hospital when i filled in my paperwork! LOL!!!
Pandora - thanks for your thoughts on the peanut butter.. i had heard that it was an incomplete protein, so was using it to try to keep me fuller for longer, without having to keep eating!! I wasn't slathering it on the salada, but agree that it does have a decent amount of fat in it tho... Alas, no more pnb for me.. i have nothing to spread it on!! LOL!
Lisa B - he didn't specify what sort of bread.. just lumped it all in together.. no bread, rice or pasta! I have been thinking about your idea of cooking extras at dinner and taking for lunch.. Some nights i just get home and cant be bothered cooking! Will need to look at some quick and easy recipes i think that can be reheated the next day!
Nothing2lose- I have PCOS too, was shocked when i had my u/s that they commented that both ovaries were polycystic. I had stupidly thought it would just disappear when i fell pregnant! Boy was i wrong! I would love to see some of the recipes you have found! Well done on your weight loss as well, keep up the great work! It is so hard sometimes, but sounds like you are really motivated! In regards to the potato, pumpkin, carrots etc - was thinking just to include them a few times a week..
Rivlas - you must have been very disciplined to last on dry biscuits & vegemite! I hate vegemite too.. so hope i dont have to resort to that! I thought i was managing my weight ok.. but i guess the OB is just doing his job by trying to keep me in line and make my pregnancy happier and healthier by not putting on too much weight. The zucchuni slice sounds great, ill have to try it out with the buckwheat flour. Thanks for your suggestions!
LysnDan - thanks for your concern! I am def not cutting all carbs from my diet. I am having raw oats with a few almonds and yoghurt for breakie and found some low GI museli bars to have as a snack. Also making sure i have 2 -3 pieces of fruit including a banana (even though its breaking the bank!! ) to make sure i get the good stuff!! I had the same thought as yourself re - peas, corn, carrots etc just having them a few times a week, keeping a bit of variety each night. Am trying hard to drink water, but boy its hard at the end of the work day when i have to catch public transport home and no toilets along the way!!! It certainly is not pregnancy friendly way to travel when i am busting!! hehe!
Sloane- thanks for the tip on the taste website, i have bought it up and will go hunting through it after ive finished on the BB website! Would love to hear if you've got any favourite recipes!!
Meow - thank goodness for google huh?! lol! Ill have a look at SCD and see if i can find anything that will tickle my fancy! Thanks for the idea
Again, a big thanks for everyones input.. i found a meatball recipe and made myself some of those for dinner with a salad and packed a few for lunch tomorrow. Looks like ill be sitting down on the weekend and having to plan out my meals for the week! I should try to think back on what my mum used to cook us for dinners when i was a kid.. we used to be a meat & veggie household; with occassional rice/pasta dishes! I guess as i got older pasta/rice became such an easy thing (and cheap too) to cook, so became and everyday food... ahh how times have changed! Back to the old fashioned meals for me
