I think this is pretty awesome. Now, this was a special day-- I worked in my office most of the day, and then my husband was gone in the evening so the kids and I went out for sandwiches-- but I still count it as a win! Now, the real test will be when I'm with my husband all day and I have to deal with his cravings!
That's the hard bit. MY partner and kids aren't following the plan. When I make dinner I can incorporate it like when they have a big fat cheese, potato and onion pie *sigh* I have a jacket spud with baked beans and tiny amount of cheese but the same veggies.
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm making a main meal from scratch they eat that anyway like if I do spaghetti bolognese or pasta, I make a low cal version and so far they are loving it. The girls are starting to take healthier lunches to school, instead of sandwiches they've been asking to take a tub of salad or pasta in so maybe it's rubbing off on them ;)
