Extra Easy 7 Day Student/Budget Menu Diary

[MrsE13]

I joined Slimmung World this week for a happy and healthy pregnancy but unfortunately had an early miscarriage or chemical pregnancy as I think it is called. I do actually need to lose weight, so I am going to continue the diet.

I am terrible at keeping and maintaining diarys. So I'm just going to do a 7 week diary. I did my online shopping last night to arrive today. I saw that slimming world had several menus online and I liked the look of the budget/student menu. I copied and pasted the menu into Tesco and it created a list. It came to under £40 for the week.....some items I already had like pasta and some items I purchased more of, as I need to feed a hungry husband and child. Then I added extra items, snacks for my family and healthier versions for me.

I feel like following a menu like this will make things easier for me as I have no planning inloved. I've made a few tweaks but plan to follow the menu vey closely.

I will be back to update day 1 later with photos and I'll do a weigh in on day 8 morning.

The burgers tasted delicious, very filling. Not feeling hungry right now, so aim not to snack tonight. But if I do, I'll go with melon.

And I have to mention that Tesco replaced my spinach with iceberg.....I'm not a fan of iceberg but I'll eat it until it's gone.
