Important one, this.
Create a plan based on what meals you are going to eat for the week. Once you have planned your meals, only buy the food you require for that week.
First off, if you only have your weekly food in the fridge, you can’t be tempted to eat any snacks, as they’ll not be there.
Second, you’ll save money. If you wander around the supermarket willy nilly, putting every food you fancy into your basket, you’ll have access to all the sinful snacks your heart desires.
So, regardless of whether you do your weekly shop online or you’re old school and actually shop at the supermarket, write a shopping list based on your weekly meal requirements and DO NOT deviate from this list.
I bet this is tricky in Forida?
Not easy - especially as you don’t know what you’re going to do on a day to day basis! Plus, you TRY and be healthy, but when you eat out, I’ve been choosing the salads. But even they are laden with full fat dressing and they put sugar in bread!!!
I fear much training will be required when home to return to the level I was…
My two weeks in Majorca cost me a half stone increase. Relax and enjoy the break. You will soon get back into it on your return.
