[longtobeamum]

Shout at me ladies.

I was feeling a bit down, and spotted a box of milk tray on top of the kitchen cupboard. Now I've eaten half the box (apart from the yuckie turkish delight) which is about 500 calories which is the same as a healthy meal. Now I feel even more crappy.

Naughty longtobeamum!

Naughty girl!

Well I had some baked cheese and bread, fish and chips and NO desert and I left about half of everything.

The old me would of eaten it all and had desert. Im so proud.

[longtobeamum]

well done for not eating it all. I have half an enchilada thingy downstairs that I am dyin to go heat up. I will resist.

xxxx

 

[4magpies]

I feel a bit more motivated now I have my appointment. I need to lose it so I can get my baby. Eek.

Good girl for resisting.

Xxxx

 

[longtobeamum]

Think it's the biggest motivation for not eatin crap. Hope you get your this next cycle.

I was very tempted to eat it, so I jumped on the scales first, and I have lost a teeny bit so that has spurred me on

Hey girls - everyone seems to be doing so well! I am being extremely good and sticking to 1200 cals, despite being on nights and craving carbs!
Im starting my pre-ivf acupuncture on tuesday (very nervous!!) and my acupuncturist has told me to only eat warm food and no 'iced' drinks as this helps speed up metabolism and increase the quality of CM too - who knew!!! So - am only eating soup on my night shifts as its all i can stomach at 3am!
Bring on next week - im on day shifts so can get to gym - yay! ;-)

Has anyone else tried acupuncture for fertility? x

 

[Leilani]

I'm having acupuncture too. My lady said nothing about coldness - though I doubt having good CM would do me too much good anyway! The main thing my lady told me was to make sure I eat lots of protein during the first 2 weeks of my cycle, as protein helps nourish the developing egg/s. Eggs are good for your eggs (though maybe not so your bowels!)

Longtobeamum - you've just reminded me I have a box of Roses in the cupboard - I really need to get rid of them before I succumb!

Went out for lunch today, and was reasonably good (though it probably wasn't within my diet guidelines), I had a chicken ceaser salad - the only naughtiness was the dressing and bacon bits, but it was delicious.

I have lost 2kg this week, so I';m happy with that, I hope I can do that again for the next couple of weeks - would love to have lost 5KG before going back to school, so I've got 3 1/2 weeks to do it.

 

[Monsterpops]

mmmm chicken caesar salad...... 2kg well done!!! how is your acupuncture going? do you enjoy it? Its my first appt tuesday, and i think shes gonna plan whole diet......worrying lol! x

2kg = 4.4lb.


Now I'm more impressed with myself than I thought. Think I might stick with pounds from now on (though my scales are in kgs!). I think I'm getting used to eating less - and it's funny watching DH do his own cooking, as I normally do everything, but like yesterday, because I went out for lunch, I just had home-made tomato soup for tea (made earlier in the week), so he had to cope on his own!!

 

[4magpies]

Hey girls.

Tried to be goodish today.

Not over eaten anyway.

Gonna be mega good tomorrow to make up for it.

Went out for tea with my best bnb friend.

You should be VERY proud of yourself as that is a fab loss!

Its a good thing for the guys to get cooking for themselves i think. My dh cooks around 3 times a wk since i started eating healthier as he is african and loves his oil laden dishes . lol. xxx
