On the diet front I tried so hard. I have pointed everything that has passed my lips, so much so I only have 6 points from my weekly allowance left until Saturday morning. I have done loads of exercise, 25 minutes of cardio on Friday and then I dusted off my bike and did about 6 miles at the weekend. I have the sore bum to prove it too! So, WHY have the scales not budged? I know I shouldn't sneaky peek but I am a dyed in the wool sneaky peeker, I just can't help it. I am hoping and praying that all my hard work will pay off when I step on the scales on Saturday but I am not holding my breath.
Meal plan for this week and I have stuck to my rule of 2 fish meals and 1 veggie
Saturday: Jamie Oliver's Beef Kofta curry from the 15 minute meals book. This was LUSH!
Sunday: Home made meatballs with pasta
Monday: Another Jamie Oliver 15 minute meals - pan fried mackerel with quinoa & a tomato salad.
Tuesday: Gammon, egg and home made oven chips
Wednesday: Mushroom fried rice
Thursday: Baked haddock with garlic mash & braised cabbage with pancetta
Friday: Pizza and a large salad
I've never eaten quinoa before but bought some ready cooked stuff in a pouch from M&S and when dosed up with lemon juice, balsamic plus some salt & pepper it was really nice. A rather unusual texture but still tasty enough. It may be featuring on a menu plan again soon as I am trying to break out of the endless potato, pasta, rice cycle. I found a box of puy lentils in the cupboard the other day so used some in the curry on Saturday but planning more meals with these soon.
As of next week I hope to get back to doing what I love and posting more about my cooking and recipes. Watch this space.
