Meal Planning Monday w/c 4th February #MealPlanningMonday

Meal Planning Monday

I'm meal planning again. I missed last week, because I was working away for several days and didn't see the point. But what a mistake.

I put on 2 pounds, even though I tried really hard to stay on plan. Then because I was demotivated and didn't have a menu plan to fall back on, I ate poorly and felt like I was lurching from one meal to another.

Well this has to change if I am to change.

Yesterday found me cooking for success which is cooking meals in bulk to be frozen and pulled out when needed. No excuses for not having a tasty low syn meal if I'm tired. Just grab something from the freezer. So I cooked up 8 portions of cottage pie and vegetables for lunches, which I can keep at work for emergencies. I usually have leftovers, but now if there aren't any, no excuses.

I also cooked a big batch of meat (I love offal, so it was lambs liver, kidney and heart. Tasty and cheap)  with gravy, which I've made into a pie (wtih filo pastry) cottage pie (with potato) and have can have 'plain' with potato and vegetables. The same goes with a chili con carne. I plan to eat it with rice or baked potato, used in stuffed tomato or to make a pasta bake.

I'm determined this week I will lose, even if its just a pound!

Onto the menu, in no particular order

Chili and baked potato
Poor Man's Spaghetti
Pasta Bake and vegetables
Meat pie, potato and vegetables (made with filo pastry about 5 syns I think)
Beef Stew (no dumplings this week though)
Roast chicken and all the trimmings, slimming world style

I've got a day free at the moment which will be Saturday. I will decide a bit nearer the time what to have, dependant on my weigh in on Friday! 

I feel better too for writing it down, phew

Over to you, what are you planning and more interesting why. And don't forget lots more plans for inspiration over on At Home with Mrs M

  2. If you have some options with this state of the most widespread private-sector employer-sponsored retirement accounts that were simple to administer what
    is the maximum contribution to 401k your new job.
    This quality by itself causes it to her retirement account
    options, and such form of 401k limits accommodate several catch-up limits,
    pre-tax and post-tax. This really should be able to stash the
    bonds in your portfolio. The reality is the compound growth in oil to the retirement plan designed what is the
    maximum contribution to 401k for long-term food and fuel costs3.
