Gotta start sometime

Well, ive started the food side of the dieting as of today. Yesterday, like most socialising , for if you go out, its pretty tough to stick to any sort of plan. But i really love most fish, so a fish and chips at harvester was the way to go, bowl of salad on side, luvly jubbly! Best thing with the harvester restraunts, is all there items have calories on it. So if any readers reading this, get your self down to one, and good way to dine out and watch them calories your eating.

So today, was weetabix and a crumpet (should be brown toast) but ive got about 24 crumpets in and need using, so thats they way forward. I do use butter, which is a good protein and ok to have in a morning than night time.

Me and Janette (if i say we, its me and my partner Janette) went to sainsburys at 10 last night, after the night out, and had a wander round. They had lots of meat on sale reducded, so 2 big pieces of sirloin steak was the way! Raw king prawns from £3.25 to 25p! Salad items, satsumas, all on special offers as well. Alot of the things we got on reduced we are freezing, and can take out, when we need to. I love morrisons for the reduced items, and we are heading there friday, and hope to stock up on alot of reduced meat.

Today, im going to make myself a grilled sirloin steak wrap with some salad, pickles and guacamole for my lunch at work. But tonight a good friend of mine is coming to ours and were heading to the pub, so try not to hit the crisps or pork scratchings, but calorie free beer? That is hopeful thinking.

I really need to start the exercising part, so tomorrow morning, im hitting the wii, and probably saturday and sunday im hitting the treadmill. Then as of next week, it'l be the start of my 5km distance training for the week. Im not going to just hit the 5km and give up, but its a minimum distance required.

My partner is also dieting, which really we should help each other, and we will, but as we both work full time, and work alot different shifts, its going to be kinda tough, except, if we go shopping together, we just buy good healthy decent food and no bad stuff.

Most things i make, i will take pictures and provide recipes as well.

One of the ideas, im trying to think of in my head, is to provide recipes and ideas for familys/parents or anyone dieting, of how to make good food on a budget and be healthy. After living outta home, ive realised how expensive fresh good food can be, and i feel for any parents or family with 1-4+ kids, how hard it is, and the little time you have. We looked after our niece for a day, she is 8, we planned to go out, i made homemade pizzas for us all, and then next day we went shopping and to cinema, and me and janette was drained when we came back! So after a day out with the kids etc, last thing you want, is to spend an hour preparing and cooking food, so its going to be as well, making good healthy food quick!
