This is a brilliant thread.
- Breakfast: A bowl of readybrek and a coffee
- Dinner: Tomato soup and some bread
- Then I Popped my iron tablet and vitamins!
- I've not long had a potnoodle because I was starving and couldn't wait until tea time.
- A bag of salt and vinegar crisps
- And for tea we're having chicken curry with rice and possibly some chips or jacket potatoes!

Readybrek is brilliant by the way, It's full of iron and vitamins.
I recently got told my iron levels were low so I bought some readybrek and iron tablets and I feel much better I'm less tired than I was and I probably look less pale too xxx

I've not had anything yet - I never normally eat until after 10am at least anyway!
Got my usual 2 small slices of wholemeal toast, I'll have it with humous today I think.
Got some pineapple as well to snack on.
Lunch is a kiddies ready meal from M&S with some salad. I have a fruit salad and some cheerios if I get hungey later!
Dinner will be cajun chicken, spring onion mash, homemade coleslaw and salad.
I may pick up a litlte something for dessert - I normally have a few glasses of wine with dinner over the weekend but as I am off the booze surely I deserve a little treat??
I'm out for lunch tomorrow with some friends - have told them I am antibiotics so they won't question my non drinking.
We're going to a place that does wonderful homemade burgers so I am going to have a yummy burger, and chips (I'll have soup for dinner tomorrow though!)

Yesterday I was pretty good until the evening:
Breakfast - Yogurt
Lunch - Mini pizza with coleslaw and salad
Snack - Banana and water melon
Dinner - Sweet and sour chicken and rice, with extra veggies
Snacks - Crisps and peanuts (just a handful of peanuts)
Thank god they say peanuts are ok now I'm a little obsessed with peanut butter!
So far I haven't managed to stomach anything but orange juice, keep feeling sick
Maybe try some Readybrek in a bit as my iron levels were a bit dodgy before I found out I was pregnant.
As for not drinking I've had to offer to drive everywhere I'm not sure how I'm going to last another 2 months without being found out! xxxxxx

LOL Taffy - I love a glass of wine so am worried that friends / family are going to cotton on before I tell them.
Also I have my Xmas do at a very posh place in early December - lots of complimentary champers will be flying about.
I am going to have to work on my excuse for that!!

Don't you just love the fact you have an excuse to pig out
I am finding that food doesn't taste as nice as it should? I prepared a lovely filled pitta uesterday with all the things I normally love (feta, Mini falafel humous) but I didn't enjoy it! Iw as meant to have the same today but I had to throw all the stuff away today as the thought of eating it again makes me want to vom!
Also I don't want to get too greedy just because I am preggers. Both my sis and S-I-L put on a lot of weight during pregnancy as they both over indulged (lots of take aways, biscuits, crisps etc)
I know my appetite is going to increase and I expect to gain a fair bot of weight but I do want to try and stay healthy - although now I wont get my weekly wine fix I def need a treat to look forward to LOL!

So today:
Breakfast 2 slices 'best of both' toast
glass milk
Lunch - savoury rice, big salad and small grilled chicken breast
Tea - homemade chips with sausages and baked beans
again no fruit, just can't eat it i usually love eating fruit its so weird! But i'm drinking cartons of fruits juice!
Juice having a cupa tea with a couple of chocs from a choc box we got from hotel chocolate!
Whats wrong with me?! I can eat salad when with warm food like rice and i can eat warm veg but just not stomack veg!!!

- 4 packets of squares, yes four packets
- Coffee this morning
- Countless swags of coke (One was to take my amoxycillin)
- Chips and gravy from the takeaway.
Oh and a pot noodle for later if i get hungry again
Not exactly the most balanced diet in the world but it was what i fancied at the time

I didn't have the most healthy of weekends!!
Ended up having lunch at Carluccio's on Saturday - which wasn't very nice actually. I had a gnocchi with a lamb ragu and I don't think I'll be eating either lamb or gnocci for a long time (the sauce had something really pungent in it, maybe a little star anise?) I also had massive lemon tart for dessert.
Then I had nuggests anf chips for dinner (the kiddies meal from M&S though!) I had with beans, coleslaw and a slice of bread.
Yesterday I was a bit better, although I did have 2 massive cookies.
Today I am back to being healthy LOL!
breakkie was the normal fruit / yoghurt / wholemeal toast
Lunch will be chicken slices on olive crackers with humous, rocket and baby cherry tomatoes.
Dinner will be pasta primavera (chicken breast stir-fried in olive oil, with lemon juice oregano and basil, then I throw in a sliced red pepper, corgette and white onion and I boil up some wholemeal pasta and combine into one big frying pan. I season with more lemon juice and herbs and serve with a little honey and mustard dressing)
It sounds really dry but it's actually super fresh and succulent and I cannot wait for dinner tonight

I think I've been quite good food-wise today - for a change!
Had a bowl of bran and a glass of Appletiser for breakfast, veggie burger for lunch (no bun, with side dish of more veggies!) and made 2 apple and raspberry turnovers for dinner (with just a tiny bit of honey on top).
If only I could keep it up!

Yesterday I had:
Breakfast - cereal with a banana chopped up on top and a glass of OJ
Lunch, ham and cheese roll with a bag of crisps
Dinner, mushroom stirfry with hoisin sauce
Hot chocolate with a couple marshmallows for desert!!
Reading it back it doesn't seem much as I also only ate half the roll! Going to try and have more fruit today.
