katybump congratulations on your LO - what did you have? I had a boy on June 1st so neither of us were actually May 07-ers in the end!

Day has gone to plan, fruit and yoghurt brekkie, soup and wholemeal toast for lunch, salmon, couscous and salad for tea, all very nice, and haven't really felt hungry at all! Well done to everyone else - only 5 weeks and 6 days to go already!

I've been ok today, except for the choccy raisins. Drank loads of water. And no wine. My goal (rofl at polly's) is to get rid of the muffin top that hangs over the back of my jeans!

Evening folks,
I still havent eaten anything since dinner, aside from taking ONE lick of the spoon when making the chocolate icing. This is damned hard. Having diet coke and coffee, plan on having a banana for supper. This means today I have eaten:

  • muesli with semi skimmed milk + glass of orange juice
  • Tuna Nicoise salad with one whole meal roll
  • Low fat Thai Green curry with rice *1 lick of chocoate icing
  • Banana

You all seem to be doing really well!

StarryStarryNight · 01/10/2007 21:54

tropical juice. but now I am nitpicking

spottyshoes · 01/10/2007 21:59

How did you manage just the one lick Starry? I would get the taste then! Much worse having one lick than none in my book - just like having the one peanut m&m - not possible i'm afraid!

spottyshoes · 01/10/2007 22:01

Think I'm off to bed too as my tummy is rumbling and I dont know if I can avoid hubby's fox's crunch biccies! Havent eaten since 5.30....I'm wasting away
Night All xx

StarryStarryNight · 01/10/2007 22:01

I know what you mean, but I had to taste it to see if I got it right, you know cocoa in relation to coffee, butter and icing sugar... Not too strong, not too bland. Deed of necessity. I will have one small slice tomorrow.... Have to....

morning all. very very tired here today. been up all night for one reason or another. we had a power cut in the middle of the night and ds2 woke up screaming the place down, thus waking everyone else up and taking ages to settle. I have got up this morning full of a cold and feeling rotten. just had a few cormflakes, a cup of tea and part of a piece of toast. Not sure about lunch yet. I have got a leftover chicken breast from last night which I could use for something I guess. Tea I have got a WW garlic mushroom pizza which i will put some turkey ham on as well (yumyum) and loads of salad. I am too exhausted to think about exersize, but at the very least I will take the dog for a walk for at least 45 minutes to an hour.

Morning all you slimmer people than yesterday! Already our fat cells will be emptying to fuel our activities yaay, have decided to throw baby up and down lots and lots today, he loves it and does not realise he is my personal trainer re bingo wings at all

laloupgarou · 02/10/2007 08:56

'Baby-ups' are great for the upper arms, lol.

I have been up most of the night too. Ds2 has ended up with croup following a cold and had a miserable time last night, poor wee thing. He's tucked up on the sofa now watching cbeebies and I am fighting the carb cravings (normally the biscuit tin, in my case) that come when you're really tired. Having a cup of coffee at the mo and think I'll make porridge and stewed fruit soon. Have a pot of veg soup simmering on the hob, will have that for lunch.

Good luck for today everyone.
