Foods I enjoy eating (inspiration for future meal plans)
So I came up with this idea earlier today whilst getting annoyed at myself for over-indulging. I thought: "If I write down all of the meals which I enjoy (the ones which are actually pretty good for you) then I can use this as a base for my weekly meal plans". And so, here is a list of meals which I enjoy eating on a pretty regular basis. I'm going to gradually add to the list if I discover more meals and such, but for now here are the basics. Hopefully this gives people meal ideas, and maybe encourages some of you to make a similar list!
Breakfasts:
-Peanut butter and banana on a wholemeal toasted bagel
-Porridge with sliced strawberries (semi-skimmed milk)
-Bran flakes with a small handful of raisins and semi-skimmed milk
-Scrambled eggs, grilled tomato and vegetarian bacon (for the days when I am craving a fry-up)
-Smoothie (green smoothie in earlier posts)
-Greek yoghurt with granola
-Fruit salad using seasonal fruit
Lunches:
-Salads (Greek salad, tomato salad, strawberry and tomato salad)
-Carrot sticks with hummous
-Tesco beetroot, cheese and cracker pots
-Food Doctor lentil wholesome pots
-Beans on toast (wholemeal bread)

-Quorn cocktail sausages with a dipping sauce
-Subway (honey oat bread with cheese, toasted, with lettuce, cucumber, tomato and light mayo)
-Soup (homemade potato and leek or lentil soup, or Heinz tomato soup)
-Pasta salad (Pesto, pine nut and veggie parmesan)
Dinners:
-Marks & Spencer mango and sweet chilli stir fry
-Sweet potato mash with some feta cheese
-Amy's Kitchen frozen ready meals (for when I am craving a pizza or something a bit more unhealthy)

Fallen off the wagon a bit... (An explanation)
So... I haven't updated in a week. And what a horrific week it has been (food-wise). My birthday was yesterday, so in the run up I let myself go a bit.
Saying that, I have made a monumental discovery: I DON'T actually need to lose any more weight. In fact, I'm nearing the 'underweight' mark for my height. And so, I need to eat healthier (upping my calories slightly) and go to the gym more in order to get the body which I have desired for so long.
I'll start by posting what I ate yesterday, and then hopefully get into the swing of things again soon!
Breakfast - Caramel macchiato (Tassimo) and a scrambled egg roll
Lunch - Slice of chocolate birthday cake
Dinner - Went to a local vegetarian restaurant. I had:
Starter - Homemade hommous with toasted fresh-baked bread and a tomato chutney
Main - Risotto (Leek, cheese, butternut squash marinated in lemon juice, loads of herbs and a rocket salad
Dessert - Ginger and lime ice cream in a chocolate ganache bowl, served on top of a small orange drizzle cake
The meal in itself was delicious, and I'll definitely be going back in the near future!
It wasn't the healthiest of days but it was my birthday, so lets forgive and forget...
So far today I have had:
Breakfast - 2 small pancakes with nutella, a small glass of semi-skimmed milk
Lunch - The Food Doctor lentil pot (a healthy pot noodle is the only way I can describe it! The same concept), a banana
Dinner will probably be a baked potato with some cheese and beetroot, and I may have some dark chocolate later on.
