A little update...........
Yes I have been a naughty blogger and not updated my daily meal plan for the last few days, and I shall not be updating it tomorrow.......but there is a reason for this and I have not fallen off my healthy eating plane so don't worry.
Am an a big believer that all diets need a cheat day. A cheat day meaning you can eat whatever you like and enjoy it because when you are watching what you eat, eating out, eating at other peoples houses and such things can be really hard and make you feel stressed out and out of control. So you need to make a plane and think " right, this weekend, I am not going to be around home much and it will be hard for me to make healthy food choices while I am staying with someone" and other things like that. You see, if you don't you will end up getting obsessed with what you can and cant eat and not enjoy your weekend!
That is why over the weekend normally (or weekdays when I am off and maybe not staying at home) I just eat what I want, go out and have fun because I know it takes the stress factor out of it and also leaves your body craving healthy food by the end of it.
So what this rambling blog post is trying to say is......I will see you Monday with my lovely "what I eat today" post!
Hope you all have a fab weekend:)

Super healthy yummy yellow pea soup
To make this super easy lunch idea you will need:
A pack of dried yeallo peas
Vegetable stock
A red onion
A big bunch of coriander
How to make it:
Chop up the onion and the coriander and heat then up in a little olive oil. pop in the pan half a pack of washed dried peas, mix up and then add about 3 cups of water and bring to the boil. once the soup is bubbling, add some vegetable stock and mix well. turn down the heat to very low and let the soup simmer for about an hour mixing every now and then.
By this point it should be ready and you can blitz it (I prefer it chunky , more filling!) and there you have it! Easy and yummy!

My top weight loss tips
As you, I am trying to lose a bit of weight and be healthier, and as I have been dealing with this shitty woman-body stuff for years, I do have a few tips that may help you.
- Tip number 1-I know people say don't eat late at night , but the trick isn't necessarily how late at night you eat, but how soon before bed time you eat. So if you go to bed at around 11 pm, try and have your dinner at around 8 pm, so your body has time to digest the food and start to burn it off before bed. (If you must snack, have something light like strawberry's)
- PORTION PORTION PORTION!- ummm, yes portion control is super important. it can be so easy when you are eating things that are not very fattening and pretty healthy such as cereal or pasta, to give yourself large portions and there you go, you have just added more calories without realizing. So you can use food scales if you want too, but if you don't have one just use your common sense! and hands! so a nice handful of cereal and pasta will do.
- Use smaller plates and cutlery- You will look like bit of a nutter, but this is really useful in making yourself think you are eating more then you are. I use smaller bowls and plates and a baby knife and fork.
- Think high fiber- High fiber foods are so good for your body and make you feel fuller for much longer. So fill up on high fiber foods like brown bread, brown rice,hole-grain cereal and so on.
