Went food shopping today (should have been yesterday, but I managed to survive an extra day as I couldn't be bothered to go after getting back from Spain). This week I didn't have a shopping list as I hadn't had time to devise one so it didn't go quite as smoothly or quickly as last week (although I still resisted buying any books) and I ended up buying more food than I needed for the week. I also bought some snack type foods this week as I missed having something other than fruit to munch on when the need for 'a little something' cropped up. I still have the fruit but now also have some Special K bars in case I need something sweet. Not yet worked out what to do about savoury, but may take Tina's advice and get some rice cakes to have with marmite (although i'm not keen on them) - any advice would be welcomed.
Spent most of the evening doing some cooking. Firstly, to combat the high amount of points I've been having the last few days I made the scrummiest mushroom curry using 4 different types of mushrooms. I had this with tomato couscous (low in carbs compared to rice & pasta - but horridly high on WW points compared to them). A tasty and filling 2.5 point meal - with enough left over for another meal later. At the same time I cooked a large pot of vegetables and herbs (although I completely forgot the carrots) to which I added a very small amount of mince and yet more tomato couscous. This has given me another 5 meals for a shade less than 3 points each.
Still feeling very positive about the diet at the moment - I just hope it continues.
