Time To Get Back In Control

Our eating has got a bit out of control.

We have both put on nearly 2 stone in all these lockdowns and we have just eaten and eaten rubbish and chocolate and snacks and cakes and everything else you shouldn’t eat.

So it is time to regain control as we both feel rotten for it.

I am starting regaining control small, as I am not sure how I will manage this.

So first up I am just going to plan our meals for the week.

I say meals.

I am literally just planning dinner for the week.

So I have got out a selection of my recipe books had a nose and got an idea of what we are going to eat each evening of the week.

This week the plan is….

Monday – homemade quiche and salad

Tuesday – Three veg mac and cheese

Wednesday – Parmasan chicken goujons, mash and veg

Thursday – Sausage and veg traybake

Friday – Chedder and veg pot pies, with potatoes and vegetables

Saturday – Chicken tacos and salad

Sunday – this is will be a what is left in the freezer day as it is shop day on Monday.

They may not be the most healthy meals but at the moment we just need to get on top of eating actual meals. So I am just starting small.

Next is working on the lunch and sorting through the snacks.

We need to change our mindset with food at the moment.

We need freshness and a bit of a structure to at first stop us from leaving it to the last moment and then picking the easiest rubbish option.

So I have written the plan into my bullet journal and hope that we actually manage to stick to it and get a bit of a rhythm to this and get out of this rut we are actually in.
