I’m enjoying being back into meal planning mode, and using up many of the items in my cupboard which I receive from my foodie penpals. Hubby even cooked one day last week – Wednesday! It mostly went to plan other than Friday & Saturday. We were out a little late on Friday and by the time we got home I couldn’t be bothered to cook so I just whipped up beans on toast for J (oops) and we had a cheeky takeaway once he had gone to bed (double oops).

Meal plan for w/c 18th August: Monday – Turkey burgers with sweet potato wedges Tuesday – Cauliflower cheese pasta Wednesday – Vegetable stir fry (with whatever sauce is in the cupboard) Thursday – We’re at my Mum’s tonight Friday – Smoked mackerel with new potatoes …
Weight loss – week 1
Last week was the beginning of my new weight loss journey. I have been trying my hardest to log my calories on MyFitnessPal but some days I forget to add the last few things or close my diary, but I have been as strict as possible. I didn’t do much exercise, I only really walked a worthy distance a couple of days last week, but that’s either pushing both boys or wearing one and pushing the other and between them they weigh 50 lbs+ (which is the amount of weight I happened to lose pre-babies – thinking of it now, wow!). I …
Meal Planning Monday – 11th August
I was good last week and managed to stick to the whole meal plan! I’m finding joining in with Meal Planning Monday really helping with regards to finding new meals – Instagram is great too!

Meal plan for w/c 11th August: Monday – Brinner* Tuesday – Spicy bacon & mozzarella tomato pasta Wednesday – Chicken curry (with leftovers from Sunday’s meal) Thursday – Tuna & cheese paninis with homemade potato wedges Friday – Scampi & homemade chips Saturday – Grilled halloumi & cous cous salad Sunday – Shepherd’s …
