I miss going to work as we had so many healthy options
For breakfast, if I don't bring my own I will get egg bagel, egg scramble with tomateo and advocado For lunch I had huge choice of salads and bowls around, or sushi, burrito bowls if I fancy something bigger. My step count was so much easier Being at home so much isn't really helping me at all . We were also so lucky to have small kitchen set up with fridges enough for everyone. You could get hot meal and reheated - as nice soup or something from M&S healthier ranges too |

I was off work for 6 months last year as my mum had terminal cancer, I agree it was so easy to get into really unhealthy eating habits, I was definitely comfort eating and would order McDonald’s/greggs/Starbucks etc for lunch! I had no routine.
I’ve got my motivation back now, being back at work has really helped with that but as I’m a nurse my breaks tend to be sporadic, sometimes I get to 4/5pm without eating anything, then I snack on rubbish because I’m so hungry but I’m really trying not to do that anymore and try to eat at normal times. |

Dinners planned for next week, I will make groceries shopping list tonight
oily fish day Sunday - Mackerel fillet with gremonala Hairy Dieters new recipe to try pressure cooker day Monday - beef massman with new potatoes - new recipe to try Mexican day Tuesday - sheet pan fajita, skinny taste, old favorite rice day Wednesday - Indian spiced chicken and broccoli fried rice - old favorite pasta day Thursday - rich and meaty Bolognese hair dieters - old recipe I try to have the new recipes easy to do or during the weekend, and not too many nights. I love having a template plan as its soooo much easier to decide on weekly menu. Instead of thinking what will we have, we are limited/guided to make a rice choice, pasta choice etc.

Weighed in this morning and I’ve lost 20lb since the start of December, down to 11 stone for the first time in at least 20 years 😂
Really hoping my diabetic level has really improved when I test at the start of next month fingers crossed 🤞

I think I am going to make this
realfood.tesco/recipes/r...parma-ham.html They were just off loading a lot of fish in Tesco and I couldn't resist getting some. I put some in the freezer but left monkfish, mackerel and trout for the next few days. Trying to decide between this for lunches next week slimmingeats/blog/ch...d-lentil-curry and this slimmingeats/blog/co...t-potato-curry for lunches for next week. My chicken was so over cooked/dry last week - I need something more juicy

That monkfish recipe looks fab. I often do cod with Parma ham.
If you are looking for a good side and like green beans, these are awesome. pinchofnom/recipes/crispy-green-beans/

I end up with over 18000 steps yesterday as we were out and about in the city. With slight wedge boots, I have forgotten what wearing normal shoes is like
Scale is 10lbs down since the star in total now, but I am going to forget anything else and focus on 1lbs goal this week. Zumba tonight. Breakfast - egg scramble with tomatoes and avocado Lunch - Chicken sweet potato lentil curry from slimming eats, wholegrain rice and need to decide on some veg - maybe spinach will go well Dinner -Parma ham wrapped monkfish as posted above Snack - youghurt, banana, berries smoothie with some flax seeds Treat in the evening if I feel like it - to be decided. I may do some oaty fruity bake or the chocolate orange balls again Any goals for the week? Menu & workout for the day? |
