planning...

I generally only plan one day in advance, unless we have visitors then I have it down to a tee.
I too tend to get the packs of meat and then do enough for 4 and put half in the freezer so if I can't be *rsed then I know I have something I can eat.

I plan my day's meals meticulously every day, and then follow it through.

After I have posted my plan in the food diary forum, I stay with it all day, it really keeps me focused.

I usually have a rough plan (ie for the week ahead I know roughly what seven dinners I'll be making) but I don't decide what I'm making until the night before.

I'm an obsessive planner too.

On a Thursday or Friday I'll check what's in the freezer from my big monthly online shop (meat/fish etc) then work out Bfast, lunch and dinner around it for the following 7 days.

I then write my shopping list around this and buy what I need on a Saturday.

I do this for both convinience and money - I don't really get much opportunity to shop midweek so if I haven't got something in I tend to have to wait until the weekend for it.
Most of my weekly shops tends to consist of loads and loads of fruit and veg
