Are you getting enough?

I am determined to make a new start today: am heading home after another week away and my veggies await! I am not concentrating on this in nearly the same way I did when going sugar free, so the results are only to be expected.

The day started with a weigh-in and BMI calculation: 22.8 and I feel as sluggish as hell. Aldi, here I come....!

Eta: glad you are eating something at least, Soworried. I hope you're making a good recovery.

Sunday-I'll admit I had to be a bit creative yesterday, had Avocado, Banana, Side Salad, Corn on the Cob and Coleslaw.

Fruit smoothie (1) and tomatoes on toast (1.5) for breakfast (need to try to do more veg-based breakfasts). Chickpeas (2.5) with cucumber, radish, tomato (4) and carrot and beetroot salad (6) for lunch. Lamb stirfy with carrot, cabbage, garlic, chilli, ginger, red/yellow/orange peppers, courgette and spinach for supper (I'm guessing 3 in total as I've made a vast amount to freeze a few portions).

So 1 fruit, 8 veg.

Don't have room for much else, so hopefully I'll manage to lose weight on this regime.

Avocado, Banana, Sweetcorn, Sweet Potato Mash, Carrots, Broccoli, Spinach, Onion, Peas and Peppers. Some were quite small portions so will say 5 veg and 2 fruit today.

1:4 today. The 4 under sufferance just now, but a step in the right direction.

I've decided, I need to write down what I am going to eat at the start of the day and stick to it. I got a bit sidetracked today.

Good start today - avocado and tomato on toast (1), fruit smoothie after my run (2), watermelon, cucumber and feta salad (4), carrot, beetroot, orange and pomegranate salad (5), chickpeas (6), radishes, tomato and lettuce (8) for lunch. I plan to have sweetcorn and some runner beans for supper. Probably not on their own!

Being slightly pregnant is turning out well for my 5-a-day. Mainly because nuts, plums and grapes seem to be some of the only things I can stomach!

I've had avocado with my scrambled egg on toast (though only managed about 1/4 of an avocado).

I've ate 100g grapes. A large handful of nuts, some dried fruit, and my lunch included spinach (though probably only 1/2 a portion)

I'm not including the apple juice I've had (which is totalling over a litre so far today).

Probably out for dinner later so will try and pick a fairly veg loaded option. Regardless, I'll be hungry again by the time I get home and chomp away on half a cucumber and some hummus which I've been craving all day.

Be careful with the apple juice cyantist - it has a lot of sugar in it and could cause you problems. If you're drinking a lot because you can't stomach water, then drink it very dilute. And talk to your GP/midwife/practice nurse about what you can/can't do in terms of fruit/fruit juice. (I made myself ill drinking too much apple juice and eating too many apples when I first moved here, as there were loads on the tree and I had no money...)

Finished the day with sweetcorn, runner beans, spinach and some onion/celery/tomato in with the partridge I'm using up from the freezer. So 11 today - 1.5 fruit, 9.5 veg. I'm enjoying this
