Amy's pregnancy diary, trying to stay away from 12st!

[Amyeve]

have had loads of water today instead of tea, so will be interesting to see if that makes any difference tomorrow when i weigh myself (i weigh everyday, a habit i got into when on CD)

breakfast: mullerlight yoghurt with tea & kellogs fibre plus bar
morning snack: cuppa tea
lunch: large baked potato with cottage cheese and a few slices of cold beef
afternoon snack: none
dinner: beef bolognaise tortellini no sauce and shared a mini garlic baguette with DD, options hot choccy
evening snack: individual new york style cheesecake (must not buy these again, toooo yum) some slices of cold beef

=1896 must stop buying treats...then i cant eat them!!!!!

 

[sarahG31]

I adore new york cheesecake

 

[Amyeve]

i knoooow!!!

im not fussed with ordinary cheesecake, but the new york baked style is just divine!

not going to buy anything else nice...until maybe 39 weeks or something as pre labour treats :drool:

i weighed myself this morning and have lost exactly 1lb so fingers crossed i can keep that off til my official weigh in on tuesday :cross:

 

[bajoleth]

Well done Amy Your food diarys are good lots of healthy stuff in there so I hope you will see the benefit on Tues.

 

[Amyeve]

Amy, I use Food Focus as well and just be aware that the calorie requirement does not allow for any exercise you do. You have to use the exercise log for anything even remotely physical (they even have a thing for you to enter 'sitting/kneeling dressing children' lol!). It is amazing how fast it all adds up!! I recon you could happily eat 1900 a day to maintain, even without the pregnancy requirements.

 

[Amyeve]

i have used foodfocus for about a year now and i think i know just about everything on that list! i'd log anything for that extra calorie or 2 :8855:

im happy with 1600 for now, this is my first week of counting whilst pregnant so im waiting to see the results on tuesday and will adjust if necessary. tbh, im happy to maintain but i can afford to loose a few lbs with my bmi being 31.1 and my risk of diabetes already being high (as i had it last pregnancy)

have you set your daily activity level? as this does effect your cal allowence. i have set mine to medium rather than light (which is more realistic) to take into account my body working that bit harder than usual growing this bump!

 

[Amyeve]

forgot to post my diary yesterday, going to do it now just to be consistant though
