I read the serenity prayer this morning and I yet again realised how applicable this simple but powerful prayer is for me. Do you know it?
Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. The courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
Now I have got the acceptance bit down to pat but as for the courage to change the things I can, not so much so. This is the one I need to work on this week. I can change my eating, I have done it before and I WILL do it again - this week in fact.
So here is my meal pan for this week, as I know that when I plan I am far more likely to stick to it.
Monday
Brekkie - 2 weetabix and milk, apple
Snack - Go ahead biscuits
Lunch - Pasta bolognaise
Snack - Slim a soup
Dinner - Poached salmon and loads of veg
Tuesday
Brekkie - Porridge and orange juice
Snack - Melba toasts and philli
Lunch - Jacket potato with beans and little cheese
Snack - Tinned fruit
Dinner - Quorn stir fry
Wednesday
Brekkie - Shreddies, milk and banana
Snack - Apple
Lunch - Tuna sandwich, crisps, grapes
Snack - Ryvita and ham
Dinner - Oven fish, chips and peas, no sugar jelly
Thursday
Brekkie - Porridge, orange juice
Snack - Melba toast and philli
Lunch - Chicken and veg soup, Ryvita's and ham
Snack - Apple
Dinner - Chicken casserole and rice
Friday
Brekkie - Beans on 2 toast
Snack - Apple
Lunch - No idea, seeing Liska, so I am sure she will keep an eye on me!
Snack - Melba toast and philli
Dinner - Meeting a friend, going out for dinner (so an unpredictable day in all!)
I have no idea as yet what the weekend will hold so I will just plan for the dinners...
Saturday - Chicken fahijas
Sunday - Roast chicken dinner
Yes it might look like a lot of food to you but believe me it is less than an average day at the moment and I need to be realistic, small changes over time will make a big change and hopefully a shift in habits. So this weeks focus is all around eating 3 set meals with a maximum of 2 snacks and not picking in the evening.
Good luck to everyone else joining in with #Mumentum, I hope this week rocks for you!

It got to the end of the week and I was wondering what I would be posting about today. There was no way that I was not going to do a #Mumentum post but I had nothing really to report. Things are much the same, my exercise is great, my sleeping is good and I am being and feeling positive but my food is still rubbish. So instead of dwelling on the past I will look forward.
I read the serenity prayer this morning and I yet again realised how applicable this simple but powerful prayer is for me. Do you know it?
