Been terrible today. Woke up shockingly bad tempered and hormonal (poor DH bore the brunt of it), work hasn't been fab and so I've blown out with some really unhealthy comfort foods.
OK. I have to come clean. I was ssoooo desperate for something sugary last night, and I don't keep junk food in the house (and all the kids were asleep in bed so I couldn't go out and buy something) - sssooooo I got a spoon and the packet of icing sugar and sat down and ate some.
I still tracked it all in my food journal, and managed to stay within my allowance - but it is still a bit shameful.
I am going well today, Having only eaten healthy and filling foods. FX i stay on track tonight. No idea what I am going to do for dinner. I don't feel like cooking, and take-away isn't very apealling or very healthy. Any suggestions for something not too bad which take NO prepration on my part? Feeling seriously lazy at the moment.

Ive just gone 5 weeks and this is my 2nd pregnancy. My first was IVF and this one was natural which came as a BIG surprise!
I gained lots during IVF and my first pregnancy. I then got back down to 100kgs but it slowly crept back up again. I finally decided that this is it and in January this year I joined Jenny Craig. Lost 10 kgs with them which was GREAT but then I found the food to get a bit monotonous so decided to try BodyTrim which is a high protein/low carb diet. I lost another 2 kgs on that before falling pregnant. So Im now weighing in at
102 kgs and Im only 5ft 3 so not very tall!
I had high blood pressure last pregnancy and ended up on medication. I am DESPERATELY trying not to gain much weight this time around as I found it really difficult last time with all the extra, extra weight.
After having my son, my ob told me that he would "ideally" like me to be 85kgs if I fell pregnant again...oops! This pregnancy wasnt planned and I did hope to lose some more weight but things happen and Im WRAPPED to have fallen pregnant naturally when the odds were against me
I too am trying to eat healthily and have made home-made soups the last 2 weeks which I have been eating for lunch. For brekky I generally eat 2 pieces of toast with either vegemite or make a toasted sandwich with ham and cheese. I try to eat a piece of fruit for morning and afternoon tea and dinner, well thats whatever I can be bothered cooking, lol. No...Ive been trying to eat plenty of veggies with some sort of protein for dinner. With all the diets I have been on, I know what the healthy options are and its just a matter of choosing them and sticking to it!
Im not good with drinking water and know I need to increase my intake and need to do some regular exercise too.
Last night wound up having tom yum soup for dinner. Was pretty tasty actually, and since my innards are mostly squashed I was full after entree size.
Having vegemite cravings today, so vegemite toast for breakfast and a vegemite/cheese roll for lunch.
No prep, healthy and tasty? Hmmm, tough call unless you can hook up with a good thai place that does a fresh chicken stir-fry. Something like ginger chicken or chicken lemongrass is really yum, and it's all veggies/meat (and a little rice if you like, but some days I skip that) with soy based sauces rather than oils. Hmmm, come to think of it, I could go with that for dinner myself if I can be bothered digging out my wok.
Hi Miss Magpie - congrats on the pregnancy! More than welcome to join us.
Sorry I havent checked in in a while, jut being a tad too busy!
So my diet is all over the place. Thankfully chocolate and most sweets still make me sick which is helping, but my diet is still very limited. I still cant do meat, pasta and rice are out and so are most cooked foods.
But generally
breakfast is weetbix, with milk and brown sugar.
lunch is a sandwich or rice cakes, depending on how Im feeling,
and dinner has been yoghurt with fruit.
Snacks are normally fruit or some cheese.
So all in all Im not doing to bad, thankfully the census work is keeping me pretty busy so Im getting heaps of exercise. So far Ive lost 4kgs, which is 2kgs off my starting weight with dd2.
But Im over being sick, and right now I confess Im sitting here enjoying a rather large glass of lemonade. Its the first time this pregnancy that I have being able to stomach the taste and I felt like something special..
By the looks of things everyone seems to be doing well overall. Afterall we all have oopsy days!
so I haven't gained any weight yet this pg (I've actually lost some, from m/s) and at my appointment today, I was referred to the dietician ... not sure what they're going to say, but it can't hurt ...
but I feel like screaming, because my weight gain is from depression occasioned by the trauma of my last birth ... last pg I gained 15kgs and no one batted an eyelid.
this pg I'm not supposed to gain any weight, if possible, and limit it to 5kgs if not ...
I just need to get the motivation to get some exercise ... it's just hard to find that motivation!
