Meal Planning – June

May WW (Weight Watchers) Meal Planning was quite the rollercoaster! Chris was away in the Gold Coast for work, while I found myself in Mulwala attending a family funeral. Upon returning home, I was greeted not with open arms, but with a nasty case of the flu! It seemed like everything that could go wrong did go wrong, turning May into a bit of a debacle.

Amidst the chaos, a wild idea struck me. Why not let fate decide our dinners? I took to our social media followers, presenting them with a choice: should we leave our meals up to chance? The response was clear, with 75% in favour of embracing randomness. And so, the categories were set: Chicken, Red Meat, Fish, No Meat or Easy Meal, and Soup. Each night, we’d simply pick and choose from these options.

This month, I’ve incorporated recipes from SkinnyMixer, Drizzle Me Skinny, Anna Van Dyken, WW, and a couple from Cookidoo. Being a devoted Thermomix enthusiast, I’ll be utilising it whenever possible, or at least converting recipes to fit its usage. Stay tuned for those adaptations.

It’s an experiment, to be sure. Will a structured meal plan reign supreme, or will the freedom of a footloose approach win out? Only time will tell.

I’m thrilled to report that I shed a total of 1.3kg last month, and it feels fantastic! However, I’m not racing against the clock here. My goal isn’t just to alter my appearance; I’m striving for a complete lifestyle change.

MY NEW MANTRA

I want to change my lifestyle – not just my size!
