First Healthy Food Haul of the Year

It's the 6th of January and for me that means Christmas is over. Christmas is my favourite time of year but I am ready for the new year to start with a bang. Last year I managed to drop 40lb and am SO proud of myself, although I should never have let myself get to my highest weight in the first place I've never lost such a significant amount before, and although I still have a good 25-30lb to go I've never been more motivated. Like most people I've put on the odd pound over the festive period so to kick start the healthy regime again I went healthy eating shopping!

Unfortunately the decision to embark on a healthier lifestyle is not always the cheapest option so I find it better to shop around when I have the time. My first stop was actually Poundland! I popped in for sandwich bags and ended up with a lot more! I find keeping myself organised is the best way of being able to keep track of my eating habits and they had so many options, I came away with 10 mini 'snack size' pots, a box of zip lock backs to separate my fresh things into portions, and a bundle of 4 plastic tubs for the rest of the weeks dinner prep. Whilst I was there I also found they had a great variety of weight watchers foods (which can be pricey) for, of course, £1!

My main food purchases were mostly fruits and veg, chocolate almond milk (for those sweet cravings) and my favourite turkey steaks at an unbeatable £2.99 from Aldi



After, broccoli, sugar snap peas and sweet potato ready for the week. Turkey added later after a quick 5 mins on the George Forman
