How are we all doing today? Today was a good day for me, work was good and food wise was really good, also I did my 50 crunches this morning before getting in the shower so really pleased about that! Today I have been thinking about food (some things don't change!) and normally I do a menu plan before Biggy and I go shopping, I did do one for the next 2 weeks but I put it on my phone and didn't save it so need to re-design one! I had a look on the internet and found some amazing recipes mainly my inspiration came from Pinterest ... seriously people... if you are not on this yet... you are MISSING OUT BIG TIME! There are some great boards out there covering all aspects of life and especially some for Healthy eating. I was really lucky that I found this article on Shape listing a number of food related Boards to follow with skinny recipes on them and then from that I then found this great website called skinnymom which has hundreds of good tips and pointers including loads of recipes..
Anyway..so far this is my meal plan until we go on holiday (this is just dinners)
Wed: Steamed Chicken, Mushrooms, Peppers, Pesto and Pasta
Thurs: Out For Dinner
Fri: Salmon in a Bag and Veg
Sat: Lunch: Frittata Dinner: Pork Chops with Dijon Mushrooms and Veg
Sun: Roast Chicken (English Sunday Lunch)
Mon: Thai Chicken Green Curry (Left over Chicken)
Tues: Mussels and Chips
Wed: Bangers and Mash with Onion Gravy
Thurs: HOLIDAY
Now as you can see I have planned alot of meals with meat and actually this is something I am wanting to adjust and just have meat maybe 2 or 3 times a week and eat more fish. However there is something in me that says if I don't give Biggy meat then I am not providing a decent meal. This inner feeling is crazy as I know Biggy likes a vegetarian meal and although we are both meat lovers we both are really happy with a veg meal as well.
Planning dinners is defo the way to go for watching calories and staying in control and it really helps the budget as well. You may be wondering where my plan is for lunch but I eat lunch at work and so normally plan that myself on a Monday. I always have fresh food for lunch or a soup and never go for any "ready meals" including sandwiches and Breakfast I normally have porridge or muesli with yogurt.
