I've come to say hello.
The scales scared me this morning by reading 14st 2lb. I want to lose at least two stone, and then review. That should mean I'm then a healthy weight for my height (5'11"). I'm another runner, but haven't really got back into it properly since having Zoe last September. So I need to cut out the snacks and crap I've been eating, and get running again - that should do it!
I'm after ideas for meal ideas that will stop me snacking. At the moment I'm not too bad in the morning - I eat sultana bran with skimmed milk (or weetabix, porridge etc), small glass of OJ and coffee, and I'm generally fine until lunchtime (might have the odd biscuit if I fancy it, but not bothered if I don't). Lunch is my problem - I'm not eating the right stuff (generally just have a sandwich), so get hungry a couple of hours later, then start snacking on "rubbish" - eg ceral bars, Penguin biscuit (or two). Tea isn't too bad - I'm cooking for me, husband and two young boys, and Zoe's just started on solids too - we generally eat together, but have probably one or two meals a week where it isn't feasible because of football/swimming etc. I've done a menu plan for the next month, and made sure it includes more variety. We've probably over-indulged in takeaways a bit too much as well over the last few months, but hopefully the meal plan will get rid of those.
So I need lunch ideas that will keep me going throughout the afternoon, and ideas for healthyish snacks when I do need them!
