Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Monday

my husband and I made a huge decision over the weekend. We are considering getting my tubal ligation reversed and trying to have another baby. I am so freaking excited I am having a hard time containing myself. We decided not to mention it to anyone until we are actually pregnant which will be probably a year from now. So, I'm glad I have this forum so I can at least tell someone! Considering getting pregnant kind of scares me though because I know I'll have to gain weight. So, I want to get below my goal. Hopefully thinking about having a baby is really going to help my snacking problem.

B: leftover steak, cheese, two bites of a baked potato and 2 Ritz crackers

L: yogurt and granola

D: roasted chicken with a few bites of baked potato

V & W: on track

E: I actually got up early and rode my bike this morning! I'm going to do some strength building exercises tonight.

best of luck expanding your family!

B: oatmeal with sliced almonds

S: popcorn

L: brought some cottage cheese - it is not sounding appealing

D: chicken

S: sf/ff pudding

E: walking walking walking

V: yes

L: Yes!

Congratulations! I agree, don't say anything until you know you're pregnant. I'd be a little nervous of weight gain too, but I'm sure you'll work hard to keep any gain reasonable. How exciting!!

B: Syntrax Nectar protein drink (1 1/4 scoops)

L: Pulled pork, creamed spinach

D: Skirt steak, creamed spinach

V & Water: On track

E: Already over 7600 steps and it's only 10:46am Central

Today we are at a movie theatre that serves lunch, that presents a new challenge as they have a lot of my former fried favorites! And the popcorn smells amazing! But good choices can be found!

B: protein shake

L: chicken sandwich with no bun: will plan to eat about 2 oz of grilled chicken with Swiss cheese and a bit of guac. I asked them not to bring the side but will eat ONE waffle fry from hubby if I have room

D: Unknown. Maybe protein bar or something else light.

Water and vitamins: on track.

Exercise: Still sore as heck from yesterday but will probably take a walk later.

Protien shakes for all meals, snack of some tomato cream soup, lots of water......still only stage 3. Looking forward to see what you all are eating so that I can get a good idea for meals when I progress my diet.

Good luck to you and your husband!
