Now I completely and utterly believe that for me I have success when I PREPARE! To twist the words of Tony Blair prior to being elected "Preparation, preparation, preparation!" Whenever I do well it's because I have filling & healthy food in the fridge & cupboards & I'm fully ready for any eventuality. It fills me with a sense of confidence (because I know I'm in control) and it feels great to be uber organised!
This week I plan to have one or two different types of breakfast (my favourite meal of the day!) Lunches will mostly consist of soups/salads and dinners will vary.
When planning my daily meals/snacks I like to make sure I'm getting my 5 a day, so count fruit & veg to make sure.
