currently 18 weeks pg and weighing 14st.05 .. seems i have already put on 10lbs so i really want to maintain this weight, or put on no more than 7lbs for rest of the pregnancy . have found my old sw books, so will try and follow food optimising as closely as i can from home.
not able to attend a meeting at the moment due to work commitments, but hope to join once i go on maternity leave in june
im allowing myself up to 15 sins, and a little extra milk .. but i wont stress too much if i go over my syns or veer off the plan a little - will be happy if i can stick to it if only for 5 days out of a week -
will still be eating much healthier than i have been up to now anyhow!
would appreciate any pointers from other pg ladies following sw as not sure if im allowed anything "extra"
day 1:
bfast: small bowl fruit salad, small banana, 2 boiled eggs - 2 coffees with dash of skimmed milk
midmorning snack : 2 kiwi fruits
lunch: ready made couscous salad with small chicken pieces, dont have a clue as to syn value - but will allow 8 + 1 heb for chicken as havent yet done a shop and dont have anything in for lunch!
cup of tea with splash of skimmed milk
mid afternoon snack: small banana & lemon cheesecake muller light 1 syn
4 oc : 2 weetabix (1 heb) + skimmed milk
treat : 2 x fruit pastils 1 syn?
dinner : jacket potato with 2 tsp marge + low fat cott cheese + a side salad
2 small glasses skim milk
total syns = 12
.......................................................................
found today fairly easy to stick to despite being around lots of yummy food at work, i dont tend to feel very hungry in the morning so have decided to have fruit, yogs, neutral foods for breakfast and will take 2 weetabix to work to eat @ 4 oc when im absolutely ravenous but only have a 20 min break before i finish my shift @ 9 oc .. 5 hrs such a long time to not be eating anything!!
have decided not to measure my milk as im pg, as long as i dont go overboard i will just have it in tea/coffee, on my weetabix and the odd glass to ease my dreaded heartburn!
