Meal Planning Monday (3rd February 2014)


Hi everyone and welcome to the first #mealplanningmonday of February. 

I'm going to keep it brief today, I'm sorry, I'm not going to lie I'm just really not up to mealplanning at the moment. I've got potential bad news heading my way and until I've confronted that situation I'm struggling to get my head straight. I'll hopefully be back with a vengeance next week but until then, please bear with me.

On a brighter note, the start of the diet went well regardless of the fact that I drank lots of medicinal red wine and even more medicinal Cosmopolitans and I lost around 3lb last week. I was very pleased with that and the good thing is that a loss always keeps me motivated for the next week. 3lb down, only 17lb to go. Gulp.

Mealplanning is basic this week. Needs must.

Grilled salmon and salad
Chicken chow mein
Homemade chunky vegetable soup 
Red Thai prawn curry
Frittata and salad

Easy, easy, easy is the name of the game.

So, as always it's now over to you guys! We dropped down to about 36 people joining in last week - where did you all go, huh?! If you're new to my blog or #mealplanningmonday all you have to do is this - write a blog post about your meal plan for the week and submit the URL of your post using the Linkytools below. If you've not got a blog but want to join in, that's fine - just leave a comment below telling us what you're planning this week.  Any questions, just holler at me via email (in the contact page) or on Twitter @madamding.  

Don't forget to join our Facebook group and check out our Pinterest board for more inspiration! We've got 678 followers so far on our new board and I've started pinning some of your recipes as I come across them!

Have a great week everyone and thanks for joining in as always!

  1. I didn't join in last week as it was end of the month and storecupboards were being raided! New month, and yeah we can eat properly again!

  3. Sorry to hear of the potential bad news. Hope everything works out ok - and in the meantime, the calories in wine and chocolate don't count (that is dieting law).

    Sx
