Gleessa's food diary.

[gleessa]

So, I've had to miss my weigh in two weeks in a row due to work and now an injury I figured I'd start a food diary to help me keep on track. I'm not sure if I've lost/gained/maintained while I've been away from group so I'm going to be super good this week. The effects can only be good. I'm going to plan my meals and make a shopping list each week so I know I wont stray from the plan. Wish me luck!!

veg - onion x 2, garlic, red peppers x 2, green pepper x 1, mushrooms, potatoes x 3, sweet potato x 1, spinach, swetcorn, courgette x2, carrots, swede, green beans, lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, beetroot

fridge - cheese, smoked haddock, chicken breast x 2, milk, cottage cheese, natural yoghurt, marg, eggs, mustard

fruit - bananas, necturines, peaches, apples, pineapple




When I do my shopping list, I write down everything that I will need and then cross of the bits I already have in the house to make sure I don't buy more. I think eating healthily can be quite expensive so I dont want to waste money buying things I already have. I also HATE having to throw things away so this saves a lot of waste in that sense as well.

I weighted in last week and maintained which I was pretty happy with. Now it'll be another 3 weeks until I can get back to group so I'm going to have to stay motivated myself. This is never easy for me and I'm already dreading it but I'm going to stick to keep planning and stick to the meals I shop for. I'm just working on my meal plan for the next week now.

Just popping in to say hi! You seem very organised. Do you have snacks in between meals or manage to get by on just 3 meals?
