Looks like I'm the first one to post in our sparkly new thread!

6:30: coffee
12pm: 1 slice of WW bread with a tiny smear of goat cheese and a couple of roasted red peppers, Activia non-fat yogurt, 2 sugar free Peek Frean cookies
5pm: leftover no salt vegetarian Mexican lasagna with a bit of fresh salsa and plain yogurt, steamed green beans, lemon gelato, 2 more cookies, one bite of blueberry fudge
8:30pm: low fat vanilla ice cream with fresh raspberries, 25g of salt & vinegar chips (this was about 10 tiny chips), Mike & Ike candies, peach

Calories: 1476
Protein: 42
Sodium: 1050

I feel like I'm drowning my sorrows in girl-approved sugary snacks. I am soooo sick of that Mexican lasagna - it's such a waste of protein and has hardly any taste. I want to eat tasty food again! If af shows on Thursday, I think I'm going to have to lighten up very slightly on the diet in order to keep my sanity. Three months of food with no taste is really taking its toll on me. I can't believe I've been on this diet 3 months already! I think I'm going to eat chocolate and garlic once or twice a week as a treat, and try not to worry if my protein creeps closer to 50g a couple of times a week. I'm going to continue to strive to find normal meals that fit within the diet, though in general I find I can only do that if I starve myself all day and save all my protein and sodium for supper.

I'm sooooooo depressed right now. Sorry to start off this new thread on such a low note.

Aww, I'm sorry you're depressed mocha, big {hugs}.

I lost another 3lb this week I'll update my ticker!

Congrats on the weight loss, Zanacal!

I'm so excited about my supper tonight that I wanted to share the recipe a little early. I'm making pizza with a low sodium crust. Here's the recipe:

2 t Active dry yeast
3 1/2 c Bread Flour
1 1/2 c Water
2 t Honey
2 T Olive Oil

(Source: http://www.lowsodiumcooking.com/free...PizzaDough.htm)

I made it in the bread machine, and it makes 2 12" pizzas. With low sodium sauce and cheese used sparingly, it's going to fit nicely within the diet! I'm planning to eat 4 pieces, which is half a pizza - I've already worked out the nutritional info, and I can do it within the limits.

Hello!
No breakfast
Lunch rice with beans, yogurt and balsamic. Strawberries and meringue. Go ahead bar
Dinner pizza (not a guilt free one but it was yummy!) frozen yogurt, sweets

[zanacal]

Ooh mocha, yum! I'll have to check out that website too

Here's me:

Lunch: Wrap with low fat cheese slice, White choc and strawberry cereal bar, grapes, 2 Fox's Glacier Fruits.
Snack: Packet of Starburst!
Dinner: Roasted courgette and mushroom mixed with kids tomato pasta sauce cooked on a dry fried wrap with melted cheddar cheese on top (my version of a pizza too!).

... and I've already decided I'm going to have a glass of wine tonight, so there!!

[Mochagirl]

Once af finally arrives, I'm planning to have wine too! In fact, I'm going to drink wine or other alcoholic beverages as much as I want up until a few days before I O. It's one of the resolutions I've made about taking a more easy going approach to the diet this coming month. Chocolate, garlic and wine...mmmmmmm.

(edited to add: just in case anyone thinks I'm a lush, one or two drinks a week is pretty much all I ever indulge in. 3 drinks in a week is a huge binge for me!)

I'm going to have the odd glass too. When I'm dieting (swaying aside) I always look on alcohol as empty calories - which is what we want isn't it? I know that there is good stuff in terms of nutrients in wine in particular but I'm sure I don't drink enough (a glass every couple of weeks or less!) for that to matter.
