Lite & Easy, may be lite but not that easy.....

Day 1 of a diet is never much fun and today is no different.  Yes I would like to lose weight but right at the moment I do not have my diet mojo. Why am I doing this then?  Becuase I feel pressured by my fertility Dr.  I gained alot of weight in 2007/2008 when I was very ill.  I lost 30 kilos of it to start ivf but Dr L is always at me to lose more.  It gets a little embarrassing that she mentions it every visit and even on the day of my miscarriage her parting words on the phone to me were to "rest up & lose some weight".  I know I have weight to lose, but I know of people heavier than me that are doing/have done ivf.

I lost the first 30 kilos using Jenny Craig, the food was not bad but I am a very picky eater so there menu for someone like me was very limiting and I had to repeat alot of meals to pad out the week.  Needless to say after awhile I got very sick of it and called it quits around the time of my whooping cough.  I thought I would give lite n easy a try as there was a better selection.

Today I have had:

Breakfast was a cheese & tomato tosted sandwhich - sounds good but ever try making one with no oil/butter it sticks even to a non stick pan and falls apart.  The second attempt was made by toasting the bread in the toaster and melting the cheese in the microwave.  There was also a yoghurt to have but I can't eat it,  it is one of those things that makes me gag - I can not even stand the smell.

Lunch was a chicken salad which was not bad but the portion was very small. There were some cheese & crackers for a snack.

Dinner tonight was sausages in onion gravy with veg which was not too bad for a frozen meal.

 

Guess I will just continue to give this a go and hope some motivation grabs me.  Nothing worse than going on a diet then when you have been told to.
