Anyone do mostly Red days & does a food diary?

big bear

A bear on a mission!
I'm not very good at planning & was wondering if someone here does mostly Red days & does a food diary which they don't mind me copying? I find red days better but don't mind the odd green day

I have printed of recipes etc. but need like a weekly plan to follow.

Also someone who is really successful as I'm really of track this week and want to get myself sorted as would love to lose a stone by Easter..hopefully

Thanks
