Menus for the week....

So last week I rejoined slimming world. I loved the plan since I started and lost just over 3 and a half stone (50lb). Since the end of last year tragedy has hit our family and friends meaning that I have not just fallen off the wagon but I have eaten it.
The past week has been tough and I'm honestly expecting to gain tomorrow after a week of steroids and strange work patterns. So tomorrow is a new day and a new week. I am  going to plan healthy yet filling meals and go back to taking my own meals to work. Working nights can be a struggle as you're never sure when to eat.

So for this week I will more than likely have fruit, cereal and yoghurt at breakfast time. Lunch varies to me as to what time I am working. Tomorrow is 4pm-10pm so I will have lunch before and a lighter dinner when I get home, the same on Wednesday. I am back to my night shifts on Thursday and Friday so again I will have to adjust my food accordingly.

I am not sticking to a certain day to cook a meal, just some ideas for the actual meals. So this weeks lunches will include tuna pasta with lots of vegetables, home made singapore noodles, jacket potatoes and maybe some salads or sandwiches for speed. Dinners I am planning on stuffed trout, a wintery beef stew with mashed potatoes, something that I can just throw in really.... Middle Eastern Chicken with cous cous, Steak with roasted vegetables, home made fishcakes slimming world style and a yummy cottage pie.  I will probably take either pasta or home made soup to work.

I will keep a log in my blog and  hopefully see where I am going wrong.... I have 16lb to lose for Xmas although come tomorrow it will probably be 20 :(
