Weigh In & Meal Plans

Unfortunately I did not make it to Weigh In this week. A bit of a sniffle and feeling cold turned into a fully fledged stuufed nose, sore throat and aches all over. :(

I took the time I spent in bed to plan out this weeks meals and orde the groceries. Even though I am feeling rotten I am feeling positive and focussed this week.

This is what we have planned. I have gone a bit more indepth this week, with breakfasts, snacks, syns and healthy extras all included. Is this too much, or does it give a better all round idea of how I eat?

Saturday - Extra Easy
Breakfast: OSS & summer berries (Milk as Hea, Oats as Heb)
Lunch: Egg & chips
Dinner: Chicken, golden rice & salad
Snacks: Fruit, Raspberry sorbet (3syns), crisps or biscuits (2-5syns)

Sunday - Extra Easy - gym, swim or bike ride?
B & L: Egg, bacon & beans on toast (bread as HEb, milk Hea)
D: Roast chicken dinner (2syns for gravy, 3syns for yorkshire pud)
S: Fruit

Monday - Green - Gym in evening

Friday - Green - Gym in morning

S: Alpen light cereal bar (half a HEb) boiled egg, fruit

Now my gym session are all illness dependant of course. and as you can see on the days I have gym in the morning I have 2 breakfasts! A cereal bar before I go. and then beans on toast or something afterwards. something thats going to give me some extra energy. after getting up that early in the morning I need all the help I can get! :)
on the days I haven't worked in many syns I'll allow myself a treat, a chocolate (Hotel chocolate 3-4syns each!) packet of crisps, some sorbet. something like that.

If any of it takes your fancy, let me know. I'll pop the recipe on here.xx

:) thanks
It doesnt always go to plan, and we never stick to it like glue, but I find it handy having an idea of what we are going to have in place, especially week nights as we always seem to have something to do, it works for us not having to think about food as much! :)
Though If I am honest, I think about food a lot! haha.
So every Weds night I write out a grocery list, and do the meal plan at the same time. Then Thurs on my lunch break I order the groceries online.
... I sound like such a geek! haha. Totally saves on wasted food and money though. otherwise I forget what we have, it doesnt get eaten etc. plus, I do enjoy writing lists! :D
