Holiday diet part 2!

So it has been about 5 weeks since my scales and I reached a stale mate. My healthy eating for the last few weeks has been not so strict. I tried to contribute to saving the high street by shopping local at butchers and green grocers however I ended up having to go to several shops and never having everything I needed! One Saturday I tried to stock up on the weekly packed lunches but the local shops were out of brown bread, ham & tuna. To cut a long story short, I've done a big diet shop at Tesco, ordered online to avoid picking up anything I didn't need.

For the last few days I have been in the diet zone. I know when I first started the holiday diet again I was eating low fat/salt bacon a few times a week for breakfast; not this time. I'm having bacon as a weekend treat. I'm still sticking to the old GMTV bikini diet that I printed off the Internet a few years ago, it worked for me before so I'm hoping that it works for me again. It's varied and doesn't always feel like a diet but portion sizes are noticeably small- unless you fill the plate with greenery.

My breakfasts have so far been: 2 poached eggs on 1 slice of toast (no butter or spread), low fat yoghurt with banana, goji berries and (no added sugar/salt) muesli.

Today it's Saturday so I've had a 'grill up'- pictured below.

I've also been starting the day with warm water with a slice of lemon- I have no idea where I read that this was good but I quite like it and it increases my water intake. I haven't given up the coffees though- but always with skimmed milk.

For my tea I've been eating chicken salad and brown pitta bread. One night I had tarragon chicken in a creamy creme fresh sauce (tasty). I've planned the rest of the weeks meals as: turkey stir fry, grilled meatballs, ratatouille on brown toast, tuna pasta and mackerel salad.

Doesn't sound too bad, let's see how this goes!
