Amy I love your new avatar pic xx

I really need to up it, sorry for TMI but I am so badly constipated! I think it's down to lack of fluids!

 

[ab75]

I used to be the same but have been okay lately. I think the water,veg and weetabix help me xx

I find bf makes me really thirsty, I probably drink at least 2 litres of cordial throughout the day plus a couple of cups of tea. I make a jug of juice and leave it in the fridge so I can top my glass up easily throughout the day
Flapjack makes me thirsty too! Xx

Bf making me so thirsty too, I have to get up to go toilet every night feed as I am drinking so much! Hardly ever drunk before I was pregnant but was always thirsty then too

 

[brunettebimbo]

When I breastfed Tristan I was really really thirsty but I haven't been this time.

I am crap, I've just had 2 slices of nutella on toast

 

[Mummy to be x]

Thanks Amanda

BB I bet part the reason your not going to the loo is because of lack of fluids hun x

 

[brunettebimbo]

Yeh you are probably right. I'm going to look for a phone app that reminds me to drink!

 

[Mummy to be x]

As silly as it sounds maybe try get a fancy water bottle and keep it in eye sight

 

[CharmedKirsty]

BB I've got the same problem and I don't drink enough either. I've decided to give up all fizzy drinks for lent. I'm not religious but I do like a challenge.

 

[brunettebimbo]

I love fizzy drinks! I don't tend to buy them though, I drank loads when pregnant with Tristan and it knackered my teeth! I only really have them if we go out to eat now.

I've downloaded an app called Water Balance. It reminds me at regular intervals during the day to drink.

 

[Mummy to be x]

I love fizzy drinks too!

Good luck with the new app

What do you ladies eat for breakfast? I usually have toast but I want to change that and find a nice healthy cereal

 

[0203]

I used to have cereal, shreddies or weetabix But since Henry had been born by DH always brings me toast in bed before he leaves for work, so sweet I don't want to ask him to stop haha Henry is normally feeding do toast is easiest to eat.

I had planned on starting my healthy eating today but at Henry's 3am feed I was so ridiculously hungry I couldn't get back to sleep so I ran downstairs and shoved a hot cross bun down my throat. Oops

 

[ab75]

I usually have corn flakes,weetabix, rice crispies or porridge and then sometimes toast too. I don't buy any sugary or chocolate cereal.
Just had weetabix now xx

 

[CharmedKirsty]

That app sounds great.

 

[brunettebimbo]

I shouldn't buy chocolate cereal because it's too tempting!

I'm awful at eating breakfast. I forget most days and don't eat until about midday. Bad habit! I've started buying things like croissants, cereal bars, yogurts etc so that I can just grab something quickly. Unfortunately not the healthiest!

I need to start making magic porridge again, it is lovely! Soak 35g of porridge oats in yogurt overnight then serve with fruit in the morning.

 

[brunettebimbo]

Just weighed myself, 1lb off!

Now to up my game, I have 11lb to go until pre pregnancy weight but think I would like to lose 14lb. We go to Center Parcs in 10 weeks so I need a few weeks of losing more than 1lb.

 

[ab75]

I weighed myself too. No change from last week.
I need to lose 2 stone 11 lb to get to my usual weight. I am 11 lb heavier than when I fell pregnant but had put on 2 stone in the year b4 that xx

 

[brunettebimbo]

Maintain is better than a gain

So who's with me? Starting today, more fruit and veg, less crap and more water?

 

[Mummy to be x]

We've no low fat cereal in so I will have toast with a tiny amount of butter this morning and il send OH out later to get cereals.

That magic porridge sounds good

I'm with you BB, no more crap. Let's shift these pounds
