Try
to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.
Roast
chicken dinner, it doesn't get much better than that, there's enough
left over in the fridge for the same today too, might need to be
done! We had to have chicken for tea last night too because when I
bought the chicken from the Co-op yesterday morning it was 2 for £7,
as they didn't have any salmon, I picked up one whole chicken and a
half chicken in lemon and garlic, not noticing the use by date on it
was the same day, so we had that for tea on ranch dressing coleslaw –
so good.
This
week I plan to get some grains back on my plate, I'm thinking
couscous or quinoa as I know they're in my cupboards, might do a
couple of No Count days this week, get some cod or trout, yeah I need
to visit a fish counter, I'll just steer clear of the prawns!
I
need to look for some more stock pot type things too, I feel a stroll
round a supermarket coming on, maybe the big Sainsbury's in the town
after I've been weighed, a good mooch looking for ideas.
I
bought some tomatoes yesterday because they were reduced and I've
roasted them, now to decide whether to make a pasta sauce or tomato
soup with them, decisions, decisions.
I
got quite frustrated trying to write my meal planner yesterday, I
feel like I've lost my mojo, or maybe I'm just going through a period
of enjoying simple food that quick and easy to make. I look through
the recipe books and think 'nah', so back to basics for me it is
then. I need to have a good week, I want to get a couple of pounds
off over the next 7 days because I know I haven't done great again
this week – it don't work if you only do it from 6am – 8pm! That
hour from 8-9pm can completely blow your day and that's where I've
been going wrong, moms gonna have to go back to skips and wotsits
because I can't resist the Walkers crisps, I just can't. I try, I
even put them in the food bank stuff in the shed and went and fetched
a bag out! Maybe if I do a bit of No Count, I'll be fuller, if I
have chicken dinner today, I'd have to either not have Yorkshire or
point today do No Count tomorrow. At least there's a choice I guess,
oh why isn't the good stuff on the free list lol.
I
really do need to go back to basics, see the points I have and decide
how I want to spend them, its food at the end of the day, if I don't
have Yorkshire pudding today, I won't die, I can still have a
delicious day, it's the gravy that made the dinner yesterday to be
fair, so loads of veggies, swede and mash, chicken and gravy is going
to be epic and help me with my weight loss, which is a priority for
me for this week. I'll have fruit for breakfast, save me some
points, then a delicious chicken dinner.
Tea
is still under negotiations, I have those tomatoes that need using
up, I'm thinking either some white fish roasted with a little chorizo
on a bed of courgetti spaghetti which I'm loving right now or persian
kofta skewers (or I'll do as meatballs), I have a spice packet that
just needs a few things adding to it and that would be delicious on
the courgetti spaghetti too, mix some roasted tomatoes pasta sauce
through, mmm. This is why I struggle to lose weight, too much
delicious food, not enough meals!
I've
started a 'meals I loved' list to help me with future meal plans.
I've got some sweet potatoes I bought because they were reduced too
(need to stop doing that), so I'm thinking sweet potato curry, I
could actually make that this afternoon and eat it tomorrow or
Wednesday, it'll get better with time.
You
can read the indecisiveness in my blog can't you, I just don't know
what I want to eat because I want to eat everything, the weather
isn't helping at all, if it was hot I'd be planning salads etc, but
it can't decide whether to be hot, cold, wet or dry, it's crazy
weather, we need some summer now thank you very much.
Right
I've got a meeting to get ready for, as a member this time though,
I'm not hopeful for a loss I have to say, I need to get more 80/20 as
opposed to 60/40!
Let's
do this, I will nip to the supermarket for inspiration on my way
home, I need fresh, healthy ingredients to make me smile in the
kitchen.
Happy
Monday BeYOUtiful.
