Good thanks (now im back on the plan). I can't promise I'll always have perfect days and Im staying away from the scales but i know if i balance my food well they will be getting all the good stuff they need. Im finding i get quite uncomfortable in the evenings, mix of indigestion and lack of room as i think one of them has its bum up high on my ribs making it quite sore when i eat a big meal. Supplementing smaller meals with healthy snacks is the way forward i think. I just need to keep reminding myself how rubbish i feel after binging on rubbish - its a lifelong problem of mine ... I can't limit myself to eat junk in moderation, it then leaves me feeling yuck and guilty.

Thursday

Meeting sister in law for lunch today so will save my syns just in case.

Porridge made with milk HEA & B
???????? For lunch - sure it will require some syns though
The rest of the beef ragu with pasta

Snacks: fruit, activia yogurt and maybe a freddo if I've not used too many at lunch.

 

[rjg123]

Back from lunch - i had a jacket with bean chilli and undressed salad followed by a 99 in the park. Calling it the rest of my syns for the day. Quite pleased.

 

[rjg123]

So after making excellent choices yesterday lunch I balled it all up with a couple of rounds of buttered toast and a bar of whole but last night. I could kick myself I really could. Didn't particularly enjoy it and felt rotten afterwards.
Wanted to have a really good week as OH and I are awasy for the weekend. We've just booked 2 nights in a hotel to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and have a break seeing as we won't be going away now this year. Friends of ours are getting married abroad and we'd booked flights but at almost 30 weeks I was advised not yo fly - at 26weeks today I am so glad wee aren't going - I start to get uncomfortable in as car!!
So I know we will have cooked breakfasts in the hotel, can't resist but will make sensible choices and eat out of an evening - again I'll just have to make the best choices I can ... At least there is no booze to add on syns!!

Fri

Magic pancakes HEB
Tuna salad, decaf latte HEA
Eating in the restaurant tonight so will either have pasta or as steak with jacket and salad.

 

[rjg123]

So my high syn weekend away was lovely - back to reality and back on the plan today. I did make sure I had plenty of protein but not sure loads of ice cream constitutes healthy dairy though!! Need a big shop for a bit more fruit and veg, that's been lacking over the weekend!

Monday
porridge with milk - HEA & B
Peach and yogurt
Mushrooms with pasta and sauce
chicken and vegetable rice
3 chocolates 4.5syns
3 mini meringues 3 syns

 

[rjg123]

Another day down... Starting to get really uncomfortable now, bump is getting big and heavy and I'm finding wearing anything that comes under my bump particularly bad. I shouldn't moan as this really isn't a problem compared to some women. So to today's food...

Magic pancakes with raspberries HEB
Tuna and cheese pasta salad HEA
Chilli, sw wedges and salad, we Eton mess 3 syns

 

[PrincessPeach]

Hey... subscribing

Food looks good hun... I have chilli tonight too

Twins!! Wow!!! Do you know what you're having? xx

 

[rjg123]

Just thought I'd update on here - I'm 35 weeks today, babies doing well growing and getting ready. They are both head down and one is fully engaged making it feel like I've been on a bike for days!! I've been having some tightening and painful Braxton hicks this week, we're all packed and ready for the hospital but they may hang on in there. Next week I'll be given a date for induction at 38 week's if they havnt come themselves. The end is in sight!!
Diet Wise I've been dreadful for weeks, having whatever I've fancied. It won't have helped me being off work and not particularly active - I'm at the waddling point and bump is huge!!! Measuring 49 weeks at last measure.

Everyone has been saying I look well and how I'm all bump but I know weight has gone on everywhere. I went to have my hair done yesterday, the mirrors there never make you feel good especially when you have foils on, but I was horrified at my reflection showing my chins!!!
I've been struggling still with big meals, particularly late in the evening. I'm much more comfortable eating stood up or on the run. Big meals make the tightening really hurt. It hasn't stopped me eating rubbish during the day though. I know that I can hardly do much about it now but I think a few days sensible eating will help me feel a bit better - I must drink lots of water too!!

Food today:

Ham and cheese omelette HEA
Pasta salad
chicken in black bean sauce
milk in decaf coffee YEA
Will see if I can fit in some heb's too!

Hope everyone else is well.

Rach
