Morning, everyone!
Yesterday did NOT go according to plan. All my own fault for not saying 'no' to myself and today Will Be Better!! I have promised myself.
Yesterday's meals:
Fruit and yogurt for breakfast as planned.
The ravioli cooked fine from frozen and was really nice with just grated cheddar on top.
I had made the corned beef patties I planned to have and used half of the corned beef so I got the other, unused half, and munched it for two syns. Early evening, I went to a meeting and by the time that was over I was tired, sore (see below for that) and just came home and ate rubbish. Oh, dear.
So that was yesterday spoilt and I have four corned beef patties to use up today.
Today's plans
B: two corned beef patties with mushrooms and tomatoes
Got to use them up, I'm not wasting them. If I'm still hungry, I will have a yogurt afterwards
SW: one syn for the patties, one for brown sauce and half for yogurt
L: corned beef patties, coleslaw, salad; fruit
And that will use up the other two patties.
SW: one syn for the patties, one syn for super light mayo in the coleslaw
D: beef casserole with sweet potato topping, veg; yogurt
It was going to be a potato topping but I will have had potato for breakfast and lunch so it can be sweet potato instead. The casserole is already cooked (and from the freezer) and I will just spread the cooked sweet potato over, top with a bit of grated cheese and re-heat in Nellie.
SW: two syns for bisto in the casserole gravy, one healthy extra A for grated cheddar and half a syn for yogurt
Ex: personal training - my shoulders and back are still sore so I guess Lindsey will modify things a bit and I'm going to ask her to give them a massage too.
Summary:
one healthy extra A
seven syns
What do I mean by low spend?
February is a low spend month.
Through January, I spent very little on non essential food and other items. The idea was to spend nothing on non food things and I didn't quite achieve that but I was happy with how it went, all the same.
I was so pleased to be able to make some charitable donations as a result; it's so nice to see positive outcomes.
'Essential' means food such as fresh fruit, veg and dairy/eggs and other essentials including things like cleaning products and toiletries although I think I am fine for the latter, plus anything necessary that comes up through the month
As for all other spending, there are a few items I need but not an awful lot so I'm really hoping it will also be low spend.
(Of course, all regular bills, direct debits, etc, will still be paid as usual)
