It's my own fault, I started to train a new group at work so it's been abit stressful, normally I'm not one to get stressed easily but I have been wanting a drink after work and craving chocolate.
I was naughty this week too as I didn't attend group. I have been trying my best to stick to plan as it was my friends birthday at the weekend and I was going away. I went all out over Friday Saturday and Sunday, eating things like curry from takeaway, chicken burger, lovely fried chips, McDonald's breakfast ect.
Now I'm refocusing by reminding myself of all my favourite free foods. In no particular order, because I love all...
I like to prepare a nice fruit salad to take to work. I cut up some apples and pairs, add some black grapes and strawberries and squeeze over a lemon or lime, the lemon/lime makes them taste extra nice and refreshing but also preserves that Apple and pair from going discoloured.
As a nice snack on an evening whilst watching tele, instead of reaching for the Pringles or Doritos and dips I have been tucking into a variety of pickled veg. Things like onions, beetroot, gherkins pickled in chilli and mustard seeds, I will have some ham, cheese (HEA), boiled egg. Very nice and filling.
3. Baked beans
Recently I have been eating baked beans with everything. I like to have them with my cooked breakfast, omlettes, jacket potato, I make a sausage casserole with them in I even keep the small tubs in my drawer at work just in case I am stuck for what to have for lunch.
2. Potatoes
Every way you can think of, I have them at once almost everyday. I like to have slimming world chips made in the overnight with things like piri piri chicken ( fake nandos). I have steak with boiled new potatoes finished in a frying pan to give them a crunch. Jacket potato I some times make a load and freeze them so they are ready for me to grab and take to work with me. And my favourite (this is why I'm useless at sticking to S&P), mash potato. I have tried making it abit better by only using half the potatoes I usually would and the other half suede, which I still really enjoy.
1. Eggs
I have been making effort to eat lots of eggs lately, not so much fried as I am not successful at making them when there isn't lots of oil involved but instead I make lots of omlettes for breakfast, crust less quiches I can take to work and hard boiled eggs I can snack on. I want to master the poached eggs but never seem to get them right.
Fingers crossed I won't have too much of a gain and I am determined it's just I have a lot on with work lately, I know I'm a bit slack with this healthy eating diary but I'm still here and on it.
