going in my mouth

[kissa_bites]

Today is the first day of a new da... uh... eating path. I am being forced to have two morning meals by my little parasi... baby boy, thus, at one, I'll be eating fruit and OJ, which I just don't like, darn it, and at the other, I'll be having cereal/milk. For lunches either a sandwich or salad. Dinners, which I'm not in charge of, should be red meat-less. Dane and I chatted this morning while he was finishing up his morning walk (I really am very proud of him for taking control of his health like this!)

I've actually been losing weight with this pregnancy, which dr doesn't mind at all. Next checkup on 9.3 so we'll see if I've been able to keep it under control.

Last night's dinner was tikka masala (yummmmy) and beans... less yummy but dutifully eaten.

Thus, today, I have started with an apple. While this may not seem impressive, I really am not a fruit fan, so it's taking me awhile to get it down *grins* I am eating it, though, so I don't get in trouble.

At midmorning -  Hungry:00, I brought cereal and milk.

Tonight is the "get on your bike and ride" night - which isn't as impressive as it sounds, lol. Dr. won't let me on a real bike (thank God) so the stationary recumbent in the basement will do perfectly as I watch Matlock.

Did I mentioned the 12th was my 4th anniversary? Some of you remember the wedding even, lol. We've grown so much in the last 4 years. I think we're doing pretty well now, despite all of the challenges. We spent the evening at home - he made a lovely ribeye, creamed spinich (hush, it's yummy) and pilaf dinner and generally just hung out the way we always do. He did bring me some roses to the office, which was lovely - and well thought out since we don't have AC... he wanted them to last so brought them to the palace of cool air. It was nice - very low-key, which is very us, lol.

I've finished rereading Tapestry am have actually picked up a pen again. After 8 years writing, I'm in a great place to write again and am determined to finish it, if only to shut Severus up.

Congratulations!

Oh yes - the many meals eating routine. I remember those days of hypoglycemia-fueled dizzy spells so fondly...

I am SO lying.

*hugs you*

Oh yeah, LOVE the dizzy spells. They are a freaking blast. I haven't had that much fun since college and that party where the walls were breathing. Okay... *those parties where the walls were breathing.

Just a tip: bananas are a low-fat etc way to deal with the hypoglycaemia. Are you allowed those? I always keep a few in my bag when I go to work.

They are allowed, but I absolutely loathe them. At some point, I'll tell the tale of my horrible banana fear. I can't even stand the smell of them. I will start keeping tangerines or something in my bag, though, because these dizzy spells are making me crazy.

happy anniversary! good job with sticking to your eating plan.

[benevolntgoddes.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

from the queen of die...er... eating plans...

Rumour has it that eating large breakfasts... (with lots of protein, all your starches and even desserts) and then eating protein with veggies and fruit for lunch... and then... at dinner... eating as little as your doctor will allow... skipping starches and just eating fruit and veggies...

...will help your metabolism even out, based on which hormones are produced by your body in the cicadian cycle.

Which sounds a lot like what you are doing now... so it must work!!

Must try it. Er, but I don't think I'll get pregnant first!

Happy anniversary!

lol, I'm not eating large anything - there isn't room in my tummy for that. I am ending up eating breakfast one and then two hours later eating breakfast number two.

This is an interesting idea - one I've not heard of. I'll send it along to Dane, since he's the making-dinner-guy. Thank you!

Woman, what ARE you doing these days? How's school? Are they being beasts?

My SIL lost weight during her pregnancy. She looked and felt great after she had her baby, who is a very healthy and happy little girl. Yay on Dane bringing you roses for your anniveersary! Ribeye and creamed spinach and pilaf, plus a hubby to snuggle with... yummy. I hope he also brought you chocolate or other dessert. :=)

[benevolntgoddes.livejournal.com]

lol, he didn't bring dessert, but I didn't really need it after all of that food, lol. He totally scored with the flowers. I LOVE them and they are mostly still going. It's crazy!

I love that I'm losing and was so annoyed that I'd gained a pound in my last weigh in. We'll see how it goes on the 3rd.

fruits are great and the meal plan you are on looks promising. your muscles and body will be toned, which is great for you and Me *smiles*

[benevolntgoddes.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. I want this to be a wonderful thing and I just know it will be. Today was cereal with milk and in a little while, I'll start on my aple slices. Lunch is a salad.
